VA The agricultural returns of Grea
Brtain, issued the middle of August, show
that there was a small increase in the acreage
pf wheat this season, but the total was little
less than 100000 acres. The weather dur
ing August was remarkably favorable for the
harvest, the rainfall being less than inch
against s inches in August 1879, and inches
in 1873, but should the yield prove to be Is
Bushels per acre, the total production will be
b,pnly about 80,000009 bushels, and as the
amount required for consumption is 1874, 00o,.
\ 200 bushels she will have to import l04, 000,.
1000 from foreign countries during the next
twelve months. n
1t il now generally conceded that the yield
kof wheat in the United States this year will
be large enough to insure cheap food for our
spopulation, and an unprecedented surplus
Nor expectation. Fears have been expressed
Hhat the surplus will DO in OK cess of the no.
Nuirements of countries which are deficient

New York Shipping List, estimate our wheat

Last year, with crop 449,0OO,OOO bushels,
I'VE exported us, 000, 900, leaving 271 100000
for home consumption. In 1878 the crop
MAS 420, 000, 900 bushel of which ia 600 900
bushel was exported, leaving 273,00O,OO for
Nome consumption. The fact that the crop
of last year has been moro nearly marketed
than the previous crop at the same date leads
hose who ridicule the "too.much- bread"
danger TO assume that the no ne consumption
ibr the present year will not be less than
200 100000 bushel.
