We have been at some pains d -
certain the cost Of production at, -
transportation from various qusrte11 ~
our gram producing districts, and =
result is a clear conviction that II
cannot be put down in New Yo1fVn
a general average at len than 81 ~

and merchant, to the contrary notwiih-
standing His assertion that wheat
can he delivered in New York from
Michigan at Is cents per bushel is alb
sufd IN the extreme Freight from
Dctrotto Now York the last season
ranged as high MS 50 30 per barrel for
-four, and 1t is the opinion Of those en-
gagged III transportation and trade, that
! rs from all quarters will be the
lowest average. This is 90 cents per
bushel for wheat in the cheapest posi-
bic form (tlour) IN which it can be
transported, exclusive of all other char
ges, such rs cartlng 10 mill, wastage,
storage, with other incidental charges.
and 1t must be borne in mind that our
cheapest wheat producing districts, the
ofal will not pay for milling. II, how
ever, II is transported in the form OF
wheat, the cost will be materially en-
HANGED.
We have assurance from au-
thorlty 10 be relied on, that Bremen
ships can be chartered for transporting
wheat to the United States at 10 To IL
cents by the cargo But if the emf
grant ships be employed, leaving be-
tween decks for passengers, 1t may be
brought at s cents. Now with an av-
crage of wheat free on board at 70 cts
per bushcl, is 1t not PLAIN IN the alb
sense of n duty, 1t can be put down
here cheaper than from ourgrain grow
ing districts!
The following for general informa-
ton, IS from n source entitled 10 cred
II -
In 1867, large quantities OF bar
ley wore imported on commission Cor
brewers in this city, at Albany and in.
termedate towns on the Hudson. Ii
cost including all expenses, So cents
per bushcl. Large quantities of rye
we're Likewise imported for dlstillers al
63 cents per bushel. The market price
Of barley at the same time in New
York was 81, and rye 81 rs p Com
mcnt Is unnecessary.
IL lSnot unreasonable 10 believe that
with an open market in Great Britain
for grain, IFS production on the cont
ncnt will be stimulated. There cal
be 10 doubt, that with labor at 6 to
cents per day, the increase will b,
great, and prices soon fall to 50 or 81
cents per bushc on general avcrag,
and what, we would ask, is to proven
the supply Of our Atlantic coast, nm,
MAINTAIN the prices for labor at n stan
dard 10 which irecmcn should aim, bu
oprotectIvc duty?
The capacity Of continental Europ
for productions is much greater thai
we are taught 10 believe. Benighle,
Spain might be aroused, md the sol
OF old CASTLE Leon, Estramadura an,
AndauSla, which are among the fins
gram growing districts in Europe ono
more be made TO yield their abundan
harvests. Wallncin and Moldavla ar
already in the field, producing abund
anCc with the most slovenly culture
, and we entertain no apprehension bu
we shnll be sustained by facts whicl
shall shortly appear, that wheat is SCI
ling on the continent at 80 To 40 cent
per bushel.' II will neither be inaJ
