An apparent world deficit of 18 per cent, or 619.000,000 bushels. 

 It should be remembered that rye forms thirty-eight per cent, of the two great bread- 

 making grains and that of the bread eaten in Europe it constitutes no less than forty- 

 seven per cent., and that in dealing with the requirements of the world, rye and wheat 

 can not be separated. 



There can be no doubt ihat the London News is correct when it says that American 

 farmers are the masters of the situation, and can fix their own price for the great crop 

 now being harvested. 



ERRATA. 



Page 10— Second line from top should read "short of bread-stufls." 



Page 17— At close of last line substitute for "in or" "or in other cases." 



Page 19— First line should read "is likely to become." 



Page 19— Third line of second paragraph should read "necessaries of life.' 



Page 35 — Fourth line of third paragraph should read "great markets." 



Page 35— Fourth and fifth paragraphs should be read as one. 



Page 54— Fifth word of fourth paragraph is "cut."
