Gram from India.

II may startle some Of our readers who
have been accustomed to think of India as
land Of forever-recurring famine, to learn
that the Indian export Of wheat to England
promises at no distant day to make that
peninsular continent formidable rival with
our own great West in the English markets.
Vet such IL the fact. Since Lord Nor Ithbrook
took of the foolish export duty on grain
from India the grain trade from India TO
England has risen from IA, AL cwt in 1871
10 3 3279. SS7 cwt. in 1876. Meanwhile the
export from Russia to England has been fall
ing. and lrdiA last year sent to England one
third as much grain as Russia and one-sixth
as much a. the United States. India now
stands third in the list Of the countries which
supply England with grain. The bearing
which this is likely to have on EnglAnd'l
final verdict a to her real interest In the
Eastern question is obvious enOugh.-N. y
