how i, ii with reference to freight BY OH.
cisl documents laid before Parliament, II sp-
pears that the freight on the highest calcula-
ton cannot exceed. on an average, IL cents
per bushel. By the report OF the Hon. MI.
Ellsworth, Commissioner of Patents, laid be
fore Congress Ia iSiJ. where he examine this
subj-c; sOmew hat infinitely. IL appears that
the average fright from New NOrk to Liver
pool Is 30 or 80 cents per Cwt. We cannot
estimate wheat Of less than % pounds per
5nshel; and hence the freight must amount To
II or Is cents per husnel. The difference in
the freight and lrs, cost would make a bal
ance against "a OF 81 cents per bushel. But
ss the year 1897 was one OF uncommonly
high prices in this country. ! will omit thai
year in my estimate. which will reduce til,
bolanoe down TO about 36 cents. and from
this | will deduct, for the difference OF ex-
change. 10 cents. which will bring the differ

The English consul, writing from Odcsn,
at the close OF 1912, ssy-: Under present
circumstances, extraordinary low freight and
favorable exchange. a shipment OF the hes,
wheat could now b made and delivered In
England on the following terms. viz:
