Ohio RreadstuEs,

A correspondence the New York Times
thus touches up the bread question::
Bread! cries Europe, and there is reason
for it. ] cannot discover that there is
full crop of wheat anywhere in Europe.
What is to be the consequence? 1t is plain
tbeEe are to, be two consequences immedi.
ately, and psrhaps more impartant ones in
another year. The fire consequence is--we
shall export all the surplus wheat we have.
Then the question arises how much have
we? l Ihluk we have not large surplus
of wheat to atfnd. Ohio exports large,
quantities of wheat, but most OF it goes, u
New England, (via. New York and Boston
where it is needed for the factories. Lol,
are aware, Mr.. Times, that :he United,
States raise commonly no great surplus of
Mheat | think Maryland. V rginia, Ohio,
lpdml,s, / inois, Michigan and Wisconsin,
are the only States when raise surplus.
On the other hand, by the consumption of
Indian corn, nte surplus may be greatly
Increased. OF Ohio, can speak advisedy;

The population Of Ohio, in round num-

For seed wheat, there must be allowed g.

annual consumption Of wheat in Ohio, Is
fourteen million JiVehuadred Aogsqnd bushels.
We have, then, an average surplus Of. twelve
million of bushels. think there must be
at least eight or ten million of bushels of
old wheat laying over. In case, of need,
then, and high prices, l think theme will
be exported from Ohio, in 1884, co.
900, ,O0D bushels. Uunless there is great
resort to. Indian corr. do not see how the
whole United States is to export more than
that. ....'U .#t.. rtasr
OfIndian corn, however, the case is dR.
ferent. think Ohio can send abroad lO,-
QQQ,QQQpf bushels. and the Uuited States
100000, 900 bushels. But you must re-
member, my dear Times, very important
fact In this connection. If We do send ou,
l0O, 600, 900 bushels of corn, the greater
part Of it must ms be taken from the fatlening
of beef and pork, What then? Upon the
wh9ls' think a scarcity of food in Europe,
viii leafd to most serious cousequences.-,
When we look at it inthe long train Of events,
We. in this country, shall make money by il;
but we make it a. o4r OMg cost. If you.
raise the price bread, you raise the price of
labor. What thep?y Your cotton will fall
rapidly in the market Of Europe. Your
railways will be much retarded by the ad-
vance, Of labor. aes 1smsraa
On the other hand, the immense, ,accumu.
lations of gold will preven. the very, disss-
trous effects in fnantes. which might otherr
wise ensue. | cannot hardly, think. that a,
great war can take place, when the sold RS
will be deficient in bread but. perhaps. the.
despotic Governments will take this methoA
Of dlverting the people from sneir troubles.
