CORN RETURNS.

TO Tlil IDITOI OP TNT =PAW.
Sin,—Siooe the of landing grain in bond
has been abolished, there is way by which stocks ma be
assertaiseit with any accuracy—a went upon which it is
needle's to enlarge. I would propose a remedy which would
enable this infoinueion to be supplied with *Ten gloater
correctness than formerly. Let each graaary-keeper make
a monthly return of the stock under his are, stating each
description of corn, and the totals be militated either by an
otheer appointed for the purnes or by one attae.ked to the
meter offing; the latter would, peeler, be preferable, se he
would be enabled to see that the meanie were eubstac.tially
eirrect. It this is thought a hardship upon the proprietors
of grannies, let it be remembered teat factors are still
obliged to report all British corn sold by them, notwithstand-
iag the repeal of the duties ; and that, far the purpose of
statistics, the one return is as necessary as the other.
I am, sir, dis.,
ONE WHO HAS TO DO WITH FACTS AND FIGURES.
