1t will be observed that more than one
half Of the total supplies of grain tandl

the United States and Russia, OF. the
quantity shipped by the latter country
to England 1885,, ,40S cwts came from the
Baltic ports, and 4 ,547 ,965s cwts. from, tho
ports of the Black Sea. To these Turkey
added some 5000, 900 cwts. more. Turkey,
controlling the outlet of the Black Sea,
and holding by her fortresses the line of
the Danube, whatever surplus grain of
last years crop remains at this time
along the Russian shores of the Black
Sea is now, by the formal declaration of
war, precluded from reaching the Eng
lish market, whilst the surplus grain of
Turkey in the countries bordering on her
southern ports will probably be needed
to supply her armies in the field:' As
suming the war to be localized and fought
out between Russia and Turkey, the sup
plies of grain drawn from the Black Sea
ports and from Southern Turkey will be
the measure of the additional require
