A most bullish view can be taken of BroombaU's latest summary of crop and market conditions abroad, which, says: India. Weather is unfavorable, being; dry over a targe area and rain is wanted. It has been ol'lclally decreed that exportation of wheat to March 31 shall be limited to 2,000,000 bushels. Argentina. Weather generally favorable for both wheat and corn. There Is a great diversity of opinion relative to the surplus of wheat, but believe extreme figures are greatly exaggerated.
