A London telegram of Septembe 18, gives the followirg in regard to the wheat crop of the current year : ((Mr. Jas. Caird, who is supposed to be a - great authority on agricultural questions, has just published some inter esting calculations as to the wheat crop ot 1875 , He shows that the fall in the prices of wheat list' year was fol lowed by a reduction ot 830,000 acres in the breadth of wheat, or nearly one tenth of the. total crop in the United Kingdom, and that there has generally in other countries been a diminished area of wheat. This year the harvest has been three weeks later than last year iu this country, and its introduction to market a wholorooniht later; and Mr. Caird calculates' that, allowing tor the fcutplud Tromn-ttre- more f than eleven months' consumption will now have to' be provided for until 'the next harvest' comes round. Ihia is 22,- 000.000 quarters altogetlier, half of 'whioli we have 'at home, and the rest must be got "from, abroad. From Russia and froci Germany a liberal supply may be expected.
