TIIE CORN TRADE.

(From the Scotsman.)

We received a Parliamentary Paper lately, containing
various details respecting the Home Corn Trade, some of
which we think may be found not uninteresting. The
subject is one as to which men indulge the more freely in
random statements, since they know that very little correct
knowledge respecting it is in circulation. Is Scotland, for
instance, an importing or exporting country at present?
In what species of grain is she deficient; in what has she
an excess; anti whence are her supplies drawn? Many
persons have formed conjectures respecting these matters,
though few, we imagine, could give a precise answer to
the question.
We shall begin with a short notice respecting the Corn
Trade of Ireland, which may be considered as exclusively
an exporting country.
IRELAND.

The quantity of grain which Ireland exports to England
and Scotland has been nearly trebled within the last 20
years. For the four years ending 1 Oth Oct. 1527, it was,
on an average—
Grain.
1,500,000 qrs.

Meal and Flour.
470,000 cwte.

Of the grain fully three-fourths consist of oats, about
one-sixth of wheat, one-fifteenth of barley, and a small
quantity of malt, pease, and beans. The south and the
west of Ireland send out the largest quantity, and the north
least. The exporting places stand in the following order,
placing those first which furnish the largest quantity :
I. Limerick-2. Cork-3. Waterford-4. Sligo-
5. Dublin—C. Dundalk-7. Wexford-8. Drogheda-
9. Newry-10. Westport-11. Belfast-12. London-
derry-13. Galway-11. Baltimore--15. Coleraine.
Of the grain sent out 1,116,000 quarters, on an average
of the four years, go to England, -and 384,000 quarters to
Scotland. Of the 470,000 cwts. of meal and flour, only
a very small quantity (about 15,000) go to Scotland—
England receives the rest.

CORN TRADE OF SCOTLAND AND IRELAND.
Scotland, as we have just stated, receives annually from
Ireland 354,000 quarters of grain, and 15,000 mks. of
meal and flour. Nearly the whole, as might be expected,
comes to places or the wsst coast ; but the following is the
quantity of Irish grain received annually at each Fort, on
an average of the last four years :
Glasgow 206,000 Qrs.
Greenock
Irvine 35,000
Port Glasgow 6,500
•
Campbeltown 4,500
Leith (in 1827) 2,200
Dumfries l,BOO
Dundee (1827) 1,700
Borrowstouness (1825) 512
Grangemouth (1826) 363
Inverness l2O

The quantity of barley whirls comes to liicotland from
Ireland since the new Excise Law was introduced, has been
much exaggerated. It fmns scarcely more than one-tenth
part of the whole imports, as will be seen below. Of the
500,000 quarters of barley consumed by the Scottish dhi-
tillers, not one-twelfth part comes from Ireland ; but
what is imported is probably all employed in distillation.
The imports at Campbeltown consist almost wholly of this
species of grain.
Grain imported annually from Ireland, on an average of
the last four years :
Barley
Oats 309,000
Wheat 9,500
The malt imported is quite trifling (690 qrs.); the rest
consists of pease and beans. It may be inferred that neatly
half the grain consumed in Glasgow is Irish.
The corn sent from Scotland to Ireland in the four years
was only 8,000 qrs., a quantity so insignificant that it may-
be altogether disregarded.
Of the Irish grain sent to England, 622,000 qrs. per
annum, or more than one half, go to Liverpool.
