4. That it further appears to this House that the total
qoantity of foreign wheat entered for home consumption
under the provisions of the 9th George IV. cap. 60, to
the sth of April, 1833, has been 4,795,746 quarters

4. That it further appears to this House that the total
quantity of foreign wheat entered for home consumption
under the provisions of the 9th George IV. cap. 60, to
the sth of April, 1833, has been 4,795,746 quarters
and 1 bushel ; and that the total amount of duty paid
thereon 'has been 1,604,190/. 108. 101., and that the
average rate of such duty is 6s. Sid. per quarter, or
thereabouts. That of the aforesaid total quantities Were
i mported—

Qrs. Bush. per Quarter.
In 1829 ... 1,260,633 1, at an average rate of duty of 9s. 4d.
1830 ... 1,494,311 7, 6s. 7d.
1831 ... 1,088,797 3, 4s. 9d.
1832 ... 162,607 7, _ —1/. 3s. 9tt.
5. That of the total quantity of 4,795,744 quartets
I bushel so entered for home consumption, under the pre-
visions of the 9th of George IV. cap. 60, there were ad-
mitted—

Qrs. Bush. s. d.
1,571,311 5 at a duty of 1 0 per quarter.
1,248,687 2 ditto 2 8 ditto.
561,437 0 ditto 6 8 ditto.
508,'217 7 ditto 10 8 ditto.
viz. 3,89'2,653 6 ditto 10 8 ditto, or under.
903,092 3 ditto 13 8 ditto, or upwards.
6. That it therefore appears the supply of foreign wheat
afforded to the people of Great Britiin, under the peovi...
!lions of the 9th Geo. IV., cap. 60, has been at the rate
of 1,008,860 quarters per annum, or thereabouts; and
that ti e revenue derived therefrom has been at the rate of
337479/. per annum, or thereabouts.
7. Ti at nothing is more injurious to those classes of the
community which are engaged in the cultivation of the
soil, than great and rapid fluctuations in the value of their
corn mod ities.
8. That such fluctuations cannot altogether be pre-
vented in the price of an article whose production is ne-
cessarily affected by the variations of the seasons; but that
it does not appear to that House that the existing regula-
tions for the trade in foriegn corn have succeeded in di-
minishing those fluctuations ; but on the contrary, they
have a tendency to aggravate them, by placing occasional
and unnec,,asary nbs•acles in the way of a tree trade in corn
with foreign eountt ies.

9. That any disparity between the price of provisions
in one country and another. Las a tendency to give compa-
rative encouragement to the industry of that country in
which the subsistence of man is obtained at the lower
