THE WHEAT ‘MARKET

There is somewhat of a depression in the wheat market due to several causes. Canada had a record crop oi over 500,000,000 bushels, ‘only one quarier oi which can be used at home. Australia hiid ' the greatest crop in her history and of ithe first quality; fortunately it has mostly gone to India rather than to Europe. Argentina, one oi the great wheat growing nations, had a 804,000,000 bushel crop. the large oxportoble sur- plus of which comes into the- British
