The Home Wheat Market

A London paper of September 16 says of the wheat harvest of the North :—The deficiency is general m Europe—that is to say, it is more marked than it has been for many years ; but it must be remem bered that nearly every country m Europe has to supplement its home-grown crop yearly by imports from abroad. France, it is calculated, will require an importation of at least 10,000,000 quarters of wheat; while the necessities of Great Britain mountupto ftboutlß,ooo,oooor 19,000,000. Adding to these the needs of Germany and other European nations, it is estimated that, to be safe, a total importation of over 43,000,000 quarters of wheat is necessary. That is a large demand, and it looms all the more ominously that, for its fulfilment, we have to look to two countries—the United States and Canada—for supplying us with considerably over half the quantity required. But m both these countries the harvest has been exceptionally abundant. They can, it is believed, send us between them 25,000,000 quarters of wheat ; but the question is, will they con sent to do so without putting on the screw to an undue extent ? About Canada there 18 very little fear ; but there is a strong conviction that unless Europe is careful and thrifty America will try to ra^ up prices by means of a wheat 'corner m the spring. The attempt will probably be made ; but if m the meantime European dealers and consnmers are careful to hus band '-.heir resources, the attempt may be defeated, as it has been before. On the whole, the prospect before v* is certainly far from being hopelessly bad. Bread may be somewhat dearer, buc it should not be very exceptionally so. There are no corn laws now to intensify the natural scarcity by one artificially created.

The National Mortgage and Agency ComJ pany are advised by their Sydney office bhat the "New South Wales Goernment purposes levying a duty on produce from December 1." Mr Sullivan, fish dealer, of Stafford street, Dunedin, received a cablegram from his principal m Sydney instructing him to countermand all orders for fish from New Zealand, as it is the intention of the New South Wales Government to impose prohibitive duties on fish m December next. Should this eventuate a trade which gave promise of considerable development will be nipped m the bud. Considerable quantities of frozen fish were already being sent thither, and being entered as "fresh" were admitted duty free, but there is a small impost on smoked fish.
