The exports of grain, which had been heavy, would diminish, although the stocks of wheat in Black Sea ports at a recent date were almost twice as large as at the corresponding date in 1901. The Rus sian raflways had been overtaxed in moving the heavy crops of ceroals. The most important of the German bread grains, rye, was, like wheat, below the | November condition in any one of nine preceding years. It was, however, a little above what was officially regarded as “average. In Roumania the corn harvest was varl- ously estimated from 41,000,000 to 104,- 641,000 bushels, but the wheat crop, hav ing been gathered in damp condition, would | |mot be fit for (ransportation before mext spring.
