Quarters


IF TO this we add one million and half Of
foreign grain, we have an aggregate of 2l,-
6l4,285 quarters to meet the consumption of
the year which is estimated at 2l,000,000.-
There will still, however, be the usual stock
of the country-now minus 100000 quar-
ters-to be made up For it would be mon
strous to suppose, that in a country like this,
there should be no stock on hand to fall back
upon in an emergency. We shall therefore
require an importation this year of from four
TO five million quarters, to place US in the
average condition we have hitherto found our
selves in, in regard to the stock Of wheat"
To obtain this supply, it is not estimated
that the usual quota, if any, will be furnished
from the Ports Of the Black Sea. The re-
quilements of the state of war which exists
there, the consumption and waste of large
supplies heretofore shipped to Western Eu-
rope. France and Italy are closed against
expectation by prohiLitory laws, and in each
the stocks Of old wheat have been exhausted
Supplies from the Baltic have also been cut
of, leaving mainly the German States, Canada
and the United States rs the sources from
which the deficits must be furnished.
Under these circumstances, with doubtful
supply from Northern Europe, no old stocks
and comparatively much smaller crop in the
United States than in 1853, it would seem
almost certainty that prices of breadstutfs
must range high for The next eight or ten
months.
