FLOUR WILL NOT RISE THIS
YEAR.
A writer in the Rochester Democrat,
after taking view OF the Wheat crops
in this country and in the principal wheat
growing countries in other parts Of the
world, including Great Britain, and com.
pairing the probable supply with the pro
babe demand, comes 10 the conclusion
that he cannot see any prospect Of an
advance Of prices for this important item
Of human food. The article embodies
much information. We gather from it
the following statements:
The United States census of 1910 put
the entire product Of wheat in his coUn
try in 1889, at t74,9S4, 1855 bushels. Con.
sidering the quantity Of land cleared for
cropping since that date, in Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and low 4,
the addition TO that crop is put at 25
millions Of bushels, and the total crop,
iD this country, in 1912, is estimated at
one hundred millions of bushels. Mr..
EIlsworth's report to Congress puts it al
l02 millions.
ln the debates Of the British Parlia-
ment, and in Congress, the annual aver.
age consumption of grain has Teen esti,
mated a! five bushels per head; and NJ
CuIIough estimates the Wheat portion
in Great Britain, at Two and hall bush
els per person. The Rochester writer
puts the Wheat portion in this country,
al four bushels per person and then gives
the following statement:
How then stands the maIterl
Wheat raised in 1912, in
bushels 100000, 900
Consumption by $4,000
600 persons 100000
Estimate for seed next
year 3,OO0,O0O
Used BY the manufactu.
rers to make starch 100000
Total 76,OOO,O0O
Surplus of crop Of '42, in
bushels 24OO0,OOO
TO this should be added the amount 10
the country, of the crop of the previous
year, which was not inconsiderable. Bot
we will consider only the surplus Of last
year, which being 24,O00.000 bushels,
will give, at five bushels TO the barrel, a
surplus Of five millions of barrels Of flour
He then remarks that under treaties
with the United States our bread stuff:
admitted into 81 foreign countries, in
Cuding coIonies and he gives a state
ment, from report of the Treasury de
partment, of the amount Of our expoF
last year of flour and wheat. They
were sent TO 4S ports and amounted tc
l,5l6,Sl7 bbls. OF flour, the money value
Of which was 81 75964G; and 8GS 5Bs
bushels Of wheat, at the money value o
SS22 88l-the Wheat being equivaIen
to It's 600 barrels Of flour, as the las
years export.
The export ofls42 consisted, ofcour8t
Of the crop Of l64l, and the prime pA
quantities went TO the following mar,
kets:
To England 205. .l54 bis -four, Il lI9
854 bushels of Wheat; to the British w
Indies GAG 465 bis flour & 35 622 bush
els Of Wheat; to the British American
colonies. 377,807 bis flour and 695 38E
bushels Of Wheat, Brazil 2S2,4 ,4O6 bis o
flour, and l6,457 bushels OF wheat; Bu
enos Ayes, %. 1873 bis flour; to Yemen.
Zuela 1886 bis of flour; 10 Mexico 10,
602 BIS -four; to Cuba 69.337 bis -four
10 other Spanish West Indies Is 5G6 b
Of flour; to British East Indies 1885
bis flour; 10 Gibralter 1920 bis flour
to Dutch West Indies, l4,032 bis flour
to Danish West indies az 304 bis -four
to Swedish West Indies, 1869 bis -four
to Haytl 80 456 bis flour, and variou
small quantities to other places.
But The surplus crop IS42, being pu
at $1,000 600 bushels wheat in ronD
numbers, gives 10000 900 barrels nou
, and # the export 10 foreign market
, he as large even as last year, viz: on
and half millions barrels and rising
still there will be nearly three and bal
millions barrels surplus.
Suppose however, there should be
scarcity in England Of which there
no prospect still, in her greatest scare
Iy, We never sent over 100000 barre
10 that market; and besides the Euro
pean wheat and -four exporting coun
tries ara so much nearer TO Eoglau
than we are, they would send suppl
before we could
This Is demonstrated By the fo;Iowio
J. statement. made up At the Liverpool en-
