Mr. H. Kolas-Jackson, in the City Article of the Times,

cal- culates that, although the wheat harvest of this year may be a little short, the price of core can hardly be expected to range above 50s. Free trade has done its work in producing a cosmo- politan supply to the great consuming markets, France and Eng- land, and iu all the surplus-producing countries there is this year a fair harvest, and the only difficulty will be in its quick and cheap transit, an organization still capable of improvement. Failing war, therefore, there is little chance within the next twelve months of deficiency of bread,—perhaps the best guarantee for order and contentment.
