Having been accustomed to cm sider the cereal ,err to
close with the 30th September, I have pleasure to submit to
my friends and correspondents the Custom House figures,
representing the imports and exports of grain and flour into
and from this port for the past twelve months. wish those of
four previous years,- and they vff)rd good fool for Quiet

reflection to all engaged in the trade. __ „„,,,
the import of foreign and colonial wheat and flour for the
year into our port is the largest we have ever had, viz.,
1,083,962 qrs of wheat, 1,137,932 brls and 231,447 sacks of
flour. The largest yearly import previously was that ending
with September, 1853, viz, 928,421 qrs wheat, 1,166,183
brie and 207,836 sacks of fl )nr. I.ldian c tho ugh
largely imported this year (775,394 qrs), falls short of the
quantities imported in 1847 and 1849, when they stood

respectively 1,117,608 qrs and 1.002 439 qrs. Thisarticie,
however, is making good way in England for cattla and othcr
food, and is intrinsically a strong, valuable, and cheep help
to our farmers, now that barley rules at such high rates.
The seasOn, taken as a whole, has bren somewbitt-precarious

for harvest, for, saving a fortnikht or so of hot Feorehing
weather, about the commencement of August, we have had
much more rain and changeable temperature than in the
average of seasons. Consequently, a very considerable
portion of the crops has been stacked hastily, and several
months must elapse before condition can be restored to a
satisfaction :of the miller. The apnr. .

harvest is always a subject upon wl
opinion. I cffer, diffidently and re

to reiult of
ity of

find div

spectfuilv, the following

as the sum of my gathering of opinions from vario
quarters :—Wheat, barley, and oats, a good -
the acre ; beans and pease, large ditto; turnips and mangold
wurzel could not be weightier; potatoes show a greater
extent of disease than in any year since 1846; the frequent
atmospheric changes have been fa,al to them in many
districts, but more particularly so in the north and Scotland ;
the fruit season has been an absolute failure. More than
the usual stress has this season been put upon the extra
breadth of land under wheat. Now it is very well for
writers in the public press annually to dress up this notion,
but it is rather strange that a few of our sage
and experienced corn factors should lend them,
selves to so palpable a fallacy. Ask, any farmer
of over 200 or 300 acres if he will not havE to pay a
severe penalty in after years, if ho materially disturbs the
general rotation of his crops. The statistical returns of
Scotland, showing as regards wheat an increase this
over 1855 of 36 per cent (endorsed by highly-respect-at.
authority, as likely to represent about a corresponding
increase in England), similar returns of Ireland of 18A per
cent, and the opinion of one of our first firms engaged 11 the
trade on the Suffolk and Essex coast; that the increase may
be abotit 10' per cent, may, by acciderifal circumstances
(that of a good autumn of wheat-sowing instead of a bad

fair average to

ad
one, thereby putting out barley and oats), be nearly true
regards a comparison of one year with another ; but if we
take a fairer comnarison—that of years—l very respectfully
beg to contend that we have been growing less of wheat
since 1850 than we did the five years previously, and inore
of beef and mutton. Presuming that the Gazette return!
furnish us with fair approximate data as to the sales 0,
British wheat, the following result will be found :—For 26
weeks after the harvest of 1845, for four years the quantitY
was 12,04,667 quarters of wheat ; and, taking the fourt
years wince_ the harvest of 1852, the returned quantity
:9
10,969,318 quarters; making a difference of 11696'
quarters against larger acreage. For further illustration
let us examine the imports and eiports of wheat and flour;
Ireland and coastwise, into and out of Liverpool in the Yea
td
and 1855;
