4Ac ~ neat supply OF England
The London Economist OF the 18th ult contains
vcry interesting review Of the grain business Of
England, from which VIC glcan the following inter-
csting facts:
Tic average wants Of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland 25 H 100 quarters OF
wheat, 20 5p 600 quarters being required for food
tcrs for seed; the production in years Of plenty is
70. 0.5Cu,000 quarters, and the importation 5oN,e0J
quarters. In consequence Of the extraordinary
ln1e harvest Of 1850 and the bad weather
customary quantity OF seed was committed to the
ground in the Autumn of that year and the Spring
Of 1SG1 and it ie estimated that over eighth Of
that which was sown did not germinate; that
in the fields by becoming orer-ripe; that there
has been taken for seed 80 600 quarters above the
Esua1 average, this season, in consequence Of the
fnc Autumn, all tic unnccupfed land of last year
Asual rotation OF crops; and that the exports to
France sum up 7CG0.QG0 quarters Reducing this
statement to tabular form, It Will be seen that
there is only half crop left for years consump-
ties for foreign gain Is a5ooe0 quarters from bar
vest. a very small portion Of which quantity has
reached or Is expected to arrive at our ports,
and If there is not some a1acrity in the corn
beginning Of this century. The small farmers are
mostly out Of stock, and the large agricultnrists
have very scanty supplies. The miserable yield Of
fore parted with the greater portion Of the crop ot
1851 the first 1onr months, leaving very little in
| granary to send to market during the remaining
eish3t months Of the consuming rear As to the
very fine in England: it Is, however, Very indider
ent in Scotland and Wales and very inferior in Ire
| laNd On the whole it may come up to an average
per bushel in flour-naking properties
