'f UK Ort!.'oiiian of July 31 makes the
following succinct statement of the
. proUlhle increase iu demand for wheat
owing to the shortage in the cereal crops
iu England, Scotland and Wales:
"Great Britain is of small occonnt as
a wheat-producing country, but is a
. Very larve consumer, and decline in its
' small production means a larger de
mand for foreign wheat. From the crop
' rcorts of the London Times, published
on July 12, it appears that not one of the
crops is up to the normal limit, while in
some instances the indications are tiiat
not much more than half the usual yield
can lie expected. In not a single county
of England,- Scotland or Wales is the
normal figure reached, either in wheat,
barley or oat. The average of wheat is
eiven as 70.3 for England, 79.3 for Wales,
80.4 for Scotland, and it is to be borne iu
mind that 03' per cent of the wheat area
in Great Britain is in England. Last
, year the prospects were for wheat 102 in
, In Englai d, 103 in Wales, and 92 in Scot
land. In normal years Great Britain
Imports about half her food supply.
