The Demand for our Wheat.

Whence il Comes dndHe Competitors wiih
us us ShiPpers-Efect Of the War
in Europe.
The following statement concer-
ming the wheat demand is received
from Mr.. Dodge, the Statistician Of
the U. s. Department Of Agricul-
ture. Great Britain is the only Eu-
ropean country that uniformly looks
to other nations for o material portion
of its bread supply. Russia and the
United States are the main sources
Of that supply. The amount requir-
ed in addition to the homo produce
ton is increasing, in part rs the re-
suit OF q larger bread ration cons
sumed by British working men. The
imports Of wheat and flour for l5
years, including 1872, were equiva-
lent TO 65.724,319 bushels Of wheat
of so pounds each, per annum. In
the past four years the average
has risen to l0l,756,270 bush-
els. In the five years prior to 1872
S,358, $50, and in 10 years ending
in 1867, it was but 59,417,456. Such
has been its increase, modified by
the fluctuations of home production,
though the imports of 1862 exceeds
those of any other year up to 1873.
In this period of Is years the Unit
ed States contributed 81 per cent,
Russia "A, Germany II, France 8,
and other countries %. In the last
four years the proportion supplied
by the United States has increased
to As per cent, aud that of Russia
has fallen to 16, and the remaining
countries have furnished but 80, in-
stead of 40 per cent. The British
receipts of the first quarter Of 1877
are 6,557.206 cwts. OF wheat, a.
gainst l1.15S,3l2 for the Same peri
cd in 1876, and 1,556,510 cwts OF
flour against 1,773,291. OF t h Q
wheat, 4,900,377 cwts., came from
this country-nearly three-fourths
of it from tho Pacific coast. But L.
3i3,1Si cwts., came from Russia.
Tho wheat production of this coun-
try has twice exceeded 100000, 900
bushels, but the average since 1859
is scarcely 27O,000,00O 100000, 900
bushels are required for bread and
seed, and moro than $4,000, 900
bushels are annually exported. Our
present supply is short. Tho Eu-
ropean war will doubtles curtail pro-
duction in Southern Europe, while
il will increase consumption. The
California crop OF 1877 will be short.
and an increased area Of spring
wheat will be required to supply the
world.

IN the Wronu Pulpit I:

The Scranton Republican says an
amusing scene occurred in the Chris
tian church at Larksville, a short
distance from Kingston, o few SUM-
days ago. IL appears the Metho.
dist pulpit at that place was TO be
supplied by a preacher from the
Wyoming Seminary, and two young
men proceeded thjther for the pur-
pose Of conducting the services. In
stead Of going into the NJ. 4.
Church, however, they went into the
Christian Church on tho opposite
side of the street, where they found
a large congregation. Thinking
that they had been waited for, they
proceeded at once to the vacant pull
pit, and after brief pause and q
glance at tke congregation, one Of
them rose, fead n chapter in the Bi
BILE, and said he had selected it as
the foundation OF few feeble re.
marks. Tho Rev. Mr. Bevan, pass
tor OF the church. who was little
behind time walked in at this inter-
esting juncturo. and much to his
surprise found his pulpit already oc-
cupied. lie did not make n demon.

that monarch found an angel in his

his seat inside the railing to wall

J his discourse, unconscious OF the sen
sation he was creating, when Mrs
y Williams, from tho church on th,
opposite side OF the street, enteret
and walked straight up to the pul
pit, beckoned to the young mai
who was about to hold forth. He

She told him that he was in tn

for a hole in the wall in which l.

left the congregation smiled audibl
