In the quotations OF English markets frequent use
made OF the "quarter" aud sack" which need
explanation to those on this side OF the Atlantic The
English quarter of wheat Is $50 lbs, or oneourth Of
ton and equal English bushels of 70 lbs each or
9 American bushels OF 90 lbs. The English sack of
-four weighs $50 lbs, and sacks equal to 10 Amer
can bbls of 1876 lbs each.
There appears be great interest felt at this
for the introduction of corn maze from this country
into England for an article OF iood In the present de-
porabe condition OF the crops the other side OF the
Atlantic it becomes necessary to ascertain the best and
cheapest article tor the consumption Of the poor of Eng
land 1t to be expected that n scarcity Of grain the
prices for wheat will reach high point to shut it
out from the poor and therefore, create great distress
among the lower classes unless they have substitute
crop of potatoes being failure by disease, to greater
extent even than OF wheat what are the poor OF Eng
land to do Are there no means Of feeding them
Nis well known that the United States raise immense
quantities OF corn maize much indeed that it is g
cattle to tten them and almost wasted in its pro-
fusion. We have known Of swine, SC being driven into
the article at the market prices would not pay for the
labor to gather it. Nearly five hundred millions of BUSH
els have been produced in the country in In
lSl3 494 6S 306 bushels raised against only 100
30S $50 bushels fwheat 1t is therefore, easily rroduc
ed, and in great quantities Yet in all this abundance
and in the frequently starving condition OF the poor OF
Great Britain, this article could be exported hi
ther 1t has been shut out by high duties and efforts
have been made to lessen its value with the
land, but failed II is hoped for the sake Of phanthro
py for other that the article will be export
ed in large quantities is here considered excellent
article OF food Our wealthy classes eat because they
think nutritious and has superior flavor and the poor
eat because is cheap good tasting, and nutritious
In its kernel shape sells at exactly half the rate Of
wheat and as meal at about half the prices Of
wheat -four.
We may expect that large expectations of this article
will this year lie made to England 1t must, per
&C. find extensive sale throughout that kingdom The
poor must be fed.
