wheat, maize rye and barley have been announced by
opening Of tho navigation in Europe but every
body startled ut the amount of tonnage required to
tiers to represent ton fleet Of 100000 bur-
then would barely suffice convey that quantity to our
shores Two thousand fonr hundred ships of 500
each four thousand eight hundred vessels OF $50 tons
being than all Europe possesses of either class
alone, would but suffice for the emergency Still under
the influence Of the high reghts paying for grain

straction Of this amount of tonnage from the usual
Of merchantmen will obviously be Of serious
dctrment to the channels Of trade which they usually
feed.
