MONEY AND TRADE NOTES.

Idaho is estimated to have produced in
geld, since 1870, $90,000000.
During the nine years ending with 1879,
the annual Asistic absorption of silver aver
aged S44,0000OO.
The total for 1879 exceeded any previous
crop raised ia Ohio by 100000 bushels, and
that of 1880 exceeds the crop of 1879 by more
than 100000 bushels. The above figures
show Ohio to be probably the first state in
the union, both in average and yield per acre,
and in total product, unless, indeed, Illinois
exceeds Ohio 10 total product
The forthcoming November crop report of
the Ohio state board Of agriculture will give

The United States consul at Milan, re.
porting on the manufacture Of quinne in 1t.
aly, introduces the following sentence refer
ring TO quinine and salts of quinine "The
production of the world is estimated at from
100000 to 100000 pounds per year, a fol-
lows: Germany, 81, 250 pounds; Italy, $4,000;
France, 4050]; England, $4,000; America,
60 900; India, u 250" According to him,
efforts are being made to acclimalize the Gin
chona in Italy. Its successful culture in
India and Ceylon encourages the belief that
it will grow wherever the soil is dry, the rain
fall large and the climate temperate.
The British wheat crop OF 1880 has been
variously estimated since it WAS harvested
at from eighty TO one hundred million bush
els. The latest computation, which is made
by we'll informed writer in tho London
Times, puts the amount below the lowest of
previous estimates. Taking 800 900 as the
number of acres cultivated, AID twenty-six
bushels as the average yield per acre, he finds
the total production to be 10 $40 900. The
crop of 1879 covered 3,05G,000 acres, and
yielded only eighteen bus nels per acre, or II
total of about So 100000 bushels. Thai
year, however, was an exceptionally disas-
trous one TO wheat production. But while
this years figures are much more favorable
than those OF last year, they show remark
able End steady decline in the wheat
crop Of recent years, both in the area
of cultivation and the amount f poo
duction. The average nRmber of acres cul-
tivated has been 9,576,000 for the last fifteen
and 3,464, 900 for the last ten years. The
crop has averaged about $4,000 900 bushels
during the past fifteen and 5000, 900 during
the past ten years. Hence the production OF
this year is more than 10 100000 bushels less
than the average ofthe past fifteen yearsand
more than 100000 bushels below the
average Of the past ten years, while the ares
of cultivation falls 100000 acres below the
average acreage of the past ftteen years
Deducting seed, the amount Of this years
crop available for consumption is put at u,
100000 bushels. This is about 25,0000 0C
bushels more than was available for CON
sumption from last years crop, hut it is con
siderable less than the average of the past ter
years. which has been 81, $50 600 bushels. i
is estimated that for the coming year Grea
Britain will have,to import about l20,0O000l
bushels of wheat 10 make up the 92,0OO0 OC
bushels needed to supply its wants. Tit
imports of wheat, though likely to be les
the coming than the past year, have beer
steadily and rapidly incr easing in recon
years, their extent for the ensuing yea
being estimated at 8, 900 900 bushels create
than the average for the past six years
In no recent year has so much cotton beel
consumed in Great Britain ms during tn
season ended September 30, 1880. The to
tai amount for the year was 3,350,000 bale
of 400 pounds each which was more thai
100000 bales greater than the consumption
of last year and more than 100000 bale
greater than the consumption of the proceed
ing year. With this increase of consumption
there has been during the year just closed a
addition of about 100000 new spindles Zoe
sides renewals) to the capacity of the mills
The tide of prosperity did not rise nearly s
high on the continent ma in Great Britain
owing mainly to the fact that continents
mill owners ore dependent chiefly on thei
domestic markets, while British manufacturer
have the advantage OF an enormous expoI
trade, particularly with India and China. NeN
ertheless, the past year has been more pro-
porous than the preceding one on the cor
tinent, excepting in parts of France, Austrli
and Russia. The continental consumptio
during the year Just closed was about 1870

vancing from 2,1S0,000 bales in 1894 t
