The import movement of wheat into
the United Kingdom during the past SIX
months has been attended with features
relative to the quantity received from
the various sources Of supply that are OF
no little interest as bearing on the foreign
grain trade of the United States, we
have from time TO time made note OF the
increased receipts from India and other
foreign markets, and the falling of in
the amount received from American
ports; but for want of sufficient data have
been unable to give statement of the
actual total. We now have al hand com.
plete statistics, compared by competent
English authority, showing the imports
from the various countries during the
first half of 1876, 1875, and 1874.
Imports of wheat into the United
Kingdom from January lst to July lst:

Total...... ...l9, 0SS,324 1885, 424 2l,702,299
The above shows that while the aggre-
gate imports for the first SIX months OF
the current year were larger than for the
like period of 1875 and 1874, there has
been decided falling off in the amount
received from the United States. 1t will
be noted that while the amount Of Amer
can wheat placed on the English market
has been materially lessened, there has
been more than a proportionate increase
In the quantity received from British
India, Egypt and Denmark. The increase
has been most remarkable in India wheat,
the total receipts standing l,l66,35S cwt,
as against llS,746 cwt for the first half OF
1876, and 7Sl 1888 cwt for the correspond
ing period of 1874. The receipts from
Egypt show an increase of 7l4,672 cwt
over 1875, and 764,643 cwt over 1874,
while those from Denmark were 24s,972
cwt, as against 1925 cwt for 1875, and
and $3.50 cwt for 1874.
