World Wheat Harvests Stir World Markets
The 1906 world wheat harvest shows wide variation. Europe reports near average yields with France drought-affected in the south, while Germany and Spain enjoy good crops. Austria Hungary expects larger wheat output, Russia sees mixed results, Romania predicts a record crop, and Canada may fall short of Ontario. India’s spring crop is among the largest on record. Australia awaits seasonal harvest. A separate note mentions a yacht sale, a safe palm pearl bet, and a San Francisco trolley accident causing one death and injuries.
