Thus il seems that Canada. the Baltic coun-
tries, Spain, Portugal and Italy, are the only
sources from which supplies are to be hoped for.
Except the United States,) and from all these it
does not appear that there will be suiliciency
to meet even the deficiency of 2O0oo,0OO bush

are not relied on for more than six or seven mil
lion bushels, and tay-from which the exporta
ton of breads,ufs has. in fact been prohibited
together with Spain. Portugal Egypt, and the
Provinces of the Danube, can scarcely do more
thun furnish the balance, Of thirteen or fourteen
millions, of the deficit in France. Hence giving
the surplus from these sources to France, we have
still the vacuum in England, ranging from Gu
pacty of thirty two 10 fifty millions of bushels,to
fill, with scarcely any other source of supply
than tho United States.
And what is capacity TO meet this

are not left altogether 10 surmise.-
We have seen in the extract above quoted the
statement from returns of the British Board
of Trade of importations into England for
series Of years from the United States. Dur
ing the last year, according to reliable est
mate of the New York Economist our exports
of wheat and -four lrednced to bushels) to all
parts of the world amounted tn less than twenty
nine million bushels OF course the whole of this
surplus did not 60 to England to Europe
The quota exported to England, according to the
English Board of Trade returns, quoted above,
was an average Of 976,930 quarters, or less than
eight million bushels per annum, for the eight
years from 1915 to 1853 inclusive; but if the
whole available surplus of twenty nine or thirty
million bushels, as exported last year, were
supplied 10 England the next season, large
deficit would stjll appear inevitable.
1t would thus seem that there is an aerre-
gate deficiency of not less than fiftytwo millions
bushels Of breadstuifs in France aud England to
be supplied from some source before the next
harvest season. OF this quantity, France, which
has heretofore ordinarily exported breadstuils
will require at least twenty million bushels, while
the supplies from other countries in Europe Tin
GLIDING Canada) do not appear moro than suli-
Gent 10 meet that defcenry. For the defcien-
cy in England say Of not more than thirty two
million hushes-and st will certainly range far
above that qunntliy-the only other channels of
supply must be our osa parts. Nowas we have
assumed above, suppose the whole ayulab lie sur
plus exported last year from the United States
to every port of the world lnb,nt twenty nine mil
lion bushels) should be supplied to England stll
"A deficit woull yet remain. We need no argu-
ment to show taking into consideration any prob
able increase of production in the United States
the present year, with increased consumption cs
tmated at 5000 600 Bushels that even should we
be able to export this required qaan,ityto Europe,
we shall find ourselves, as last year, without Il
surplus for home consumption at the close of the
season, aud paying for that purpose prices, as
high as in Liverpool
These conclusions are irrespective of the con
dition of war in Europe That war, need
scarcely say, ii it be continued there is no
shadow of prospect of peace-may increase by in
yoving other nations in it, hut it certainly can
not diminish, the existing deficit in the stocks of
breadstufs in Europe.
lnconclusion, and in connection with these
considerations will aude, and can hare
ly allude to another important fact, to which the
American wheat producer should now look. Our
harvest is, on an average, month in advance of
the harvest of Europe, aud will consequently
come in next season just at that period when de-
tciency will be most senshy felt abroad, and, in
fact when prices, ruled by actual want must be
irrespective of the prospect from English con
tinental harvests.
