Grain Movements.

The following facts concerning the
grain movements in this country and
Europe are taken from the New York
Produce Exchange (ofiicial of the lst
inst:
"The export clearances from New
York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia for
Europe for the week were Flour, S,54l
bbls wheat, 1922 bu; corn, 276,O4l
bu rye, 30,2O0 bu.
"The movement of the new winter
wheat crop is now quite large, and the
receipts at Lake Michigan ports indicate
that the new spring wheat crop OF the
northwest has began to move moderate
ly. The new spring wheat crop is
probably nearly all harvested, and the
time is near to hear complaints OF
short crop, if such a thing there be.
"The farmers deliveries in the $50
towns in England and Wales, for the
week ending Aug, -, 1871, were 80, los
ars at an average price of 5Ss sd per or,
against $500 qrs for the correspondent
week in 1870, at an average price OF 54s
l0d.
"The estimated deliveries in the
kingdom, plus the imports, less exports,
were for the week ending Aug. l2,336,'
26O ors., against an estimated weekly
consumption of 39l, 374 qrs, and for the
four weeks ending Aug. II, the estima-
ted deliveries of home grown wheat in
the kingdom, plus the imports, less the
exports, were l,443,S $50 qrs, against an
estimated consumption OF ,565,596 qrs.
The imports into the United King
dom for the week ending Aug. II, 1871,
were 65,540 cwts of flour, S04, 04l cwts
of wheat, and 1896, $40 cwts of Indian
corn.
The account of the disappointment
as 10 the yield of the wheat crop in
southern Russia is confirmed. The
wheat crop of Hungary, it is believed,
will not be an average, either IN quantl-
ty or quality. The spring Grain crops of
that country, however, give good prom
ise of an abundant yield. There are
few complaints from Germany of the
condition of the crops, which are sup
posed to be better than in most other
countries in Europe. In Holland there
are few complaints, while in Belgium
there is an acknowledged deficiency in
the wheat crop. The wheat crop OF
France turns out worse than was-earller
in the season before the harvest-eX
pected. Even the spring-sown wheat
proves unsatisfactory. The quality of
the new wheat is inferior to the old, az
indicated by difference in price Of ga
los 9d per 400 lbs.
"The wheat product of the ,Uuited
Kingdom is still undetermined. The
fine weather had, during the first two
weeks in August, materially improved
its prospects, although in many places
the quality is expected to be inferior.
1.-The consumption of maze In Great
Britain is at the present time compare
lively limited, as there Is every prospect
of an abundance of almost every kind
of feeding stuffs. while last year it was
otherwise. 1t is believed that the maize
crop of the Danubian and Odessa dis
tricts will be in no better condition this
year than last.
"There is no reason, as yet, to believe
that the late potato crop will be really
unfavorable so says high commercial
authority on the other side.
THE total product of barley in the
United States in 1910, as given by the
government report, was 4, l6l, 3l4 bu,
against 5, l67 ,0l5 bu in 1850, and 5,535,-
rs bu in 1860. OF the product in 1860
New York grew 4, co. bu California,
4,397,775 bu; Ohio, 1901, OS2 bu; Hi
nois, l,l76,56l bu; Michigan, 305,9l4
bu Iowa, 454, JIG, bu; Kentucky and
Missouri. 499,l S7 bu; leaving the pro
duct for the remaining states 3,lO4,SlS
bu. The barley crop for 1869 in the
United States was estimated by the
agricultural department at 2S,652,20O
bu. The barley crop Of 1870 exceeded
that Of 1869, as is indicated by the
movement at the different points as re-
ported. The northwest is believed 10
have larger surplus this year than
last, and the crop in the Canadas in
1871, it is believed, will equal that Of
1870. The crop in the state of New
York in 1871 is said TO be in excess Of
that of 1870. The product of the differ
ent sections can be more definitely esti-
mated when the movement of the new
crOp shall have been commenced
