PARIS ― The great drouth, unprecedented in more than 50 years, daily is increasing its damage in all sections of France. Prices of vegetables are rising instead of lowering, as is usual at this season of the year, but that is a minor detail compared with the serious effect of the results likely upon crops, orchards and vines, and ultimately upon exchange. Almost day by day the clouded skies have aroused hopes, but only a few drops of rain have fallen, while in many localities hail storms have proved ruinous.
