(Recd. August 29, 10.30 a.m.) ROME August 28.
The International Institute of Agriculture forecasts the world wheat harvests for 1929 as the lowest since 1924, by reason of the drop of 100,006,000 quintals in world production. There lias been prolonged drought in Canada and the United States, while the European diminution was due to the relative failure of the Rumanian, Hungarian and Bulgarian crops. The Northern Hemisphere crop was smaller than in 1928 by 300,000,000 metric quintals. For four-fifths of the Northern Hemisphere, the estimated crop was 643,000,000 metric quintals, compared with 746,000,000 in 1928.
