Here is all exhibition, 10 some extent, OF
the effect Of the change OF British tariff
rolcy, and may give slight idea of the
Importance to US Of British markets. But,
great as was The increase during the eight
months Of The present year, as above stated,
in comparison with the entire exports Of
the year preceding, there is no question
that the experts Of The remaining four
months of 1916. will be found equal 10,
if not greater than, those of the eigh, fo;-
mer months. A single ship left New
York for Lverpo 81, on the 10Th ut. load.
ed, partly, as follows: 1913 barrels flour;
500 barrels meal; 1900 bushels Of corn !;
1850 bushels wheat. 6! Hundreds Of
other ships (says the New York Journal
Of Comnerce) are going off for the same
destination, ard an extra hundred beyond
all which come, would be loaded, aud all
for the market which Mr.. Gay says the
people Of the west do not think of much
importance" Three hundred ships, load
ed as the above, would carry, 59l 900 bar
rels Of flour, 10000 barrels of meal;
4,440, 600 bushels Of corn, and 3,450, 900
bushels Of wheat And we are assured
that this vast amount is now. or during the
winter will be, needed, for British con-
Sumption! IL is true that this demand l. 10
a considerable extent created by temporary
causes, which may not exis, another year;
but that, under free trade policy, the
will continue TO be great, increasing in
amour, with every year, no one, who has
looked at the subject for moment, can
doubt. Ii is found that bread stuffs and
farm produce generally can now be ex
ported 10 Europe, and Cal. compete sue
cessfully with The growth Of the Black and
Baltic seas.
We take, in conclusion, the following
remarks upon this subject, from late let
ter of Eihu Burritt, in the Christian Cili-
zen:
81 am sangnine ia the hope and belief that
vast amount of American produce is to
be consumed in this country; an amount
exceeding the highest estimate of the inn
aginatlon of the iree.iraders on either side
Of the Atlantic. There is one element Of
my own estimate which, although hive
no, seen recognized by The leaders of The
IIee-rade policy, deserves, notwithstanding,
some consideration. Ii is this: the whole
scope and aim OF The slcial improvements
III this couatry is 10 elevate The lower and
laboring classes OF the people; no; only 10
bring within their reach more knowledge,
but more bread, and better raiment. and
more OF the various comforts of civilized
life. The gfain-growers and provision
dealers of The uniied States are immensely
interested in be progress and issue Of these
movements for the elevation of The peeple

or consideration, it VIII make a vast differ
