«WORLDS ROOD SUPPLY. An Exhaustive Study of Eu- rope’s Breadstulf Shortage. Deficit of 200,000,000 Bushels of Wheat and Rye. An exhaustive study of the world's food supply in the forthooming number of the American Agrieulturist emphasizes faots of grave importance to both America and Earope. It declares that the half has not been told about the European shortage in breadstuffs, which not even a bountiful croup this year would have relieved. Contineatal powers, especially Russia, suppress the facts as far as possible. Iv many Russian prov. inces the scarcity of food became pronounced as far back as February last, In the Kon. stantinovka district many families have not cooked a meal since Easter, but subsist on bread, soake rye, grain, ete., bestowed in charity. The is followed by a ukase forbiding the shipment of bran and other cerenl cattle foods, The as tounding shortage in Russia's yield of rye announced a month ago by the Ministry of Finance, proves even greater than the most extravagant estimates, and effectually ob- literates all possibility of Russia exporting any of her scant wheat crops. That eastern Germany is in practically the same plight admits of no doubt. The European reserves that have heretofore eked out insufficient harvests are everywhere exhausted. The parade made by Russia of the existence of such stores in the Baltie provinces is done for effect, to convey the impression that | will once more be a member of a champion | Boston team, just as ho was way back in military stores are abundant, Such reserves are of small importance. Indeed, the danger of famine is destined to spare Europe the horrors of war for fully a tweivemonth hence. Accepting the largest éstimates of produe- tion, both at home and abroad, and even as. suming that the United States and Canada can export 225,000 000 bushels, the Agricul- turist ctill finds a deficit in the word's food supply of at least 200,000,000 bushels of wheat and rye, with a possibility of the shortage being twice as great. Added to this is the almost total failure of the potato crop in Ireland, and a serious curtailment in the yieid of potatoes on the Continent, Even with the utmost economy of distribution and an unheard of consumption of American maize, grave distress is before the masses of Europe. The Agriowl/turist says the enormous ex- wis of wheat and flour from the United States in August proves that Europe re gards the situation as worse than it has yet beens painted, Otherwise, why should she buy in a single month ciose upon the harvest nearly balf » ich wheat as she took from the United States during the entire first eight months of the year following one of our largest wheat erops and a period of bed- rock prices? Indeed, August wheat exports were almost treble those of the same month last year and over four times as much as the average exports at this season of late vears, For the first time in years wheat bran and middlings are being exported to Earope thus eariy inthe season, The Agriculfurist accepts these circumstances as the strongest possible reason for believing that prices of | wheat are to-day unnaturally low, It looks for a sharp advances in all cereals as soon as the demand realizes the limited extent of the world’s actual supply. for its conservatism, the Agricwlturist ree news its judgment that every bushel of highs grade wheat is today worth fully one dollar ou the farm where it grew, TEN LIVES FOR ONE. An Extraordinary Scene in a South Carolina Court in the Laurens County (3.

When the service was over the worship- ers dispersed to their homes, but the band of murderers were on band though they had not been in the church. It seems that John Naoce bad im in writing to J bis brothers and friends, was thirsting for nce.

Then the ten prisoners stood up to receive the death sentence—sight ina line in front of the railing snd two in the dock | behind. It was a remarkable sight. Asa body, they appeared far above the average in intelligence. “‘Lige” Atkinson and the Adams boys are handsome mulatioss. The Judge pronounced the sentence that they all be hanged on October 23 next.
