During this period. il will be borne in mind,
that the grain countries of the continent of Flu
rope furnished large supplies to Great Britain,
and when the ports opened III England last sum-
mcr a very large stock Of Grain and Flour then
in bond, was entered for consumpton-so that, at
the close OF 1880, Two months sinCe,) there was
not remaining in bond in all Great Britain in
Wheat and Flour to exceed $50, coo barrels
Flour.
We now come to the probable demand in Eng
land for the year 1851.
The consumption of Great Britain is estimat.
ed at something like fourteen millions of quarters,
or say liz millions of bushels. The deficiency
of the crops of 1880 is varously estimated-some
say Is. some Id; and Ireland usual sup
ply COuntry,is said to be shorter Circular state
ments from sources in which much confidence is
placed, estimate the quantity that will be re-
CURED in England before the next harvest-from
abroad-at two millions of quarters-equal to
say three millions and half barrels of Flour.
The next inquiry is, whence is England to
get this supply: or even half of it, without occa-
siOnng serious advances in the countries whence
these supplies are drawn.
The reports from all the Grain countries in
Europe announce short crops-and some of them,
hioleau vi FURNISHING supplies, are more likely 10
need supplies themselves; and the disturbed state
of grain countries themselves-and the exist
ence there of large embodied armies-even should
no war occur, increases the difficulty Diminishing
supplies to England. All now concur that the
main supplies for England are looked to from
the United States.
1t then behOoves us to look at home and est-
mate our ability to misunderstanding regard to our
own wants for consumption, and that Of markets
about US on this side of the ocean, mainly depend
ing upon US.
The ports of England will no doubt be open
by or before the close of Aprl-and as the stock
in bond to be entered, will be far short of FORM
er periods. there is scarcely doubt also that the
ports will continne to remain open up to the re-
suit OF the harvest. II the statements and es
Inmates Of deficiency and supplies prove any
way near correct, wide allowance may be
made for error or exasgeration, and still leave
u.s. market In England for the export of Flour
there for the year 1881, ending in September,
equal to our entire export TO all places in 1880;
and which export from official data, NAV be seen to
have exceeded the average exports of eight years
past about 400, 900 barrels.
We have no data to estimate the extent of the
crop of 1880 in the U. States-but whether album
dant or otherwise, it should be remembered that
our own consumption is vast and rapidly increas-
ing.
