this it Is probable that the exports from Lieban are
included in those of ST. Petersburg and Holland.
However as desire TO make AN estimate above all
cayl, will leave the amount stated IN the table.
Sd. Warsat0. II ID evident from the letters OF
the eonsus that the same wheat Is included IN the
returns from DantEic and Warsaw.
| DantAc Is at the mouth OF, and is the shipping
port Of the Vistula, upon which, in the interior,
Warsaw Ia situated, and which is not nsVigable ex.
cept IN hat-bOats. In answer TO the second ques-
ton, the consul at Warsaw says: "Ths expense Of
,oaisr carriage 10 Daaizie Prussian transit duty and
charges on shipment may be taken at l25. per quar-
ter" The consul at Ddntzc says: The chief
export Of grain from this port is the pro.
duee OF Poland" Ne puts the export at BIS, 900
quarters, He forms his estimate upon the three

estimates the exports from that place at 800 900
quarters. Warsaw Is not a shipping port The
wheat from It's vicinity is carried 10 Dsntzc in Hat
boats Of rude construction, by which alone 10 the
Vistula naVigated. For these reasons | take the
estimate for one place only, and l take Danizic,
which Is the highest, and, as will he inferred from

been for the preceding sixteen years. The quantity
given in the corrected table is upwards Of million
of bushels more, and is evidently very high.
5Ih. Stockholm. The estimate Of the consul for
this port Is 900 quarters. He says: From the
best information | find that the crops in Sweden
vary IN quantity and quality more than in any other
European country; but taking six years. IL appears
that there two abundant three ordinary and one
insufficient harvest" The export Of produce he
says, is "sent chiefly to Norway, but the quantity
Of wheat has always boen inconsiderab The
average export from Sweden, for six years given by
him, ending with 1897, was 81 quarters, and during
no one Of the years was it as high az the consul
pldces-the highest being 800 quarters Still, as
it's small amount and for the reasons given in
the case of Liebsu, will not disturb the consul's
estimate.
9th. DaniIie. Here | take the consul's estim,te,
which, for the reasons already given is very high
The average exports from 1884 TO 1910 was 276 279
quarters.
7th. KOnigsbTg This port is on the Vistula,
near its mouth 1t draws its supplies from the sane
region which DantzIc does. The probability is that
the two consus have included the same data in their
estimate. Still, do not depart from 1t, as | have
not and shall not do in any case except for the plain
est reason.

all kinds OF grain is considered this year t. be very

Prussia and also in Slssia the exportation TO Great

to $50 900 quarters" This is the quantity given
and of course high one.
| 9th. .hsmel. The consul says: "The quantity
of grain shipped from here last year, 1889, when
the duty averaged very low, was, of wheat, 5, 954
quarters; and cannot, under ina most favorable
rpustaaees, be expected to exceed that of 1882 as
the demand for grain Of all descriptions was general
throughout even in Russia" The quantity given
is evidently too high for an average.
10Th. ELnore The consul puts it at l75,000
quarters. This is evidently much too high. The av-
erage export from Denmark to all places, for twenty
years ending 1889, LOG, 1856. = The average i'm.
port into Great Britain much less. Much of her
exports go to Norway, and her own West India
islands. The consul calculates upon large increase
if the ports of England were open,, as he thinks
that thereby land would be converted from pastur-
age to ullage. But it must be borne mind that
the proposed English tariff admits animals free of
duty. So IN the countries IN the vicinity, stock
raising will rather increase than diminish. 1t is not
safe to put down Denmark at more than the average
export for twenty years. therefore take that sum
llth Hamburg. The estimate for this place ap-
pears to me ts be very cxtravagant. The quanti-
ties taken "on the average Of years in which
The largest export has taken place under the most "a
porabLe circumstances" elbow much thereof" the
consul says, "can be appropriated to England, will
depend upon what may be wanted for Holland
France, Span Portugal and other countries, which
are much more dependent on supplies from
Germany, than England is." Besides, it is known
that the grain which is exported from Hamburg is
not the growth Of the surrounding country. In
years of plenty, large quantities are purchased in
the ports Of Russia, Prussia &c. already referred
to- and stored, to be run into England whenever the
operation Of the sliding scale would enable them to
do so to an advantage. The climate is such that
grain can be kept for several years. and the specua
ton in the manner | have mentioned, has been
very profitable to the Hamburg merchants. The
consul says: "The merchants at Lubbock, as well as al
Rotterdam Bremen, and Hamburg, are desirous the
corn-laws Of England shall remain unatered."
"If she should adopt a fixed duty at low rate,
they are afraid Of the competition Of Odessa and
.7merica" Much Of the corn included in this esti-
mate is doubtless included in those already men.
toned. Besides, it includes the entire amount
which can be exported TO all countries, and such
only as can be exported to England. The average
annual import into England from the whole Of Ger
many for the three years ending l843, was 449 SOC
bushels. For the reasons given, the quantity avail
