Wheat in Russia.—It is said that Russia generally exports about 116,000,000 bushels of wheat, but this year she will export none, and many of her children will die from famine. The total crop of the world is estimated at 2,879,924,000 bushels, of which this country raises 675,149,000 bushels, or nearly one-fourth; Russia's crop is 498,836,000 bushels; France comes next, with 371,881,000 bushels. It is said that this country will profit from Russia's lack. It is sad to be benefited in that way.
