The statistics shown for Central India are for eight agencies 

 only. The figures for Kashmir are approxiiiiate. The wheat 

 area in Madras, Mysore and Assam is unimportant and the 

 statistics for these provinces have therefore been excluded. 



Crops in Russia. 



Mr. J. Michell, Her Majesty's Consul-General at St. Peters- 

 burg, writing on July 23rd, stated that according to accounts 

 received by the Russian Department of Agriculture, the con- 

 dition of winter- sown cereals at the end of June last was 

 satisfactory in 352 provincial districts, and in parts good ; while 

 in 254 districts it was either unsatisfactory or promised only 

 middling results. 



Spring-sown crops were satisfactory and good in 442 districts, 

 and not promising or of medium growth in 164 districts. 



A very good yield of hay was expected in the region stretching 

 between the Volga and the Dnieper, but rain had somewhat 

 interfered with hay-making. 



In the Grand Duchy of Finland the condition of the rye, 

 oats, and other grain crops was reported to be very promising. 

 Hay, however, owing to a prevalence of rain, would not yield as 

 satisfactorily as was at first anticipated.
