Russia is now the only doubtful factor
in computing the demand for American
grain abroad, the amount to be expected from
France and Great Britain being pretty vel
known. France, which imported on last
years crop 77,OOO, 600 bushels, will need this
year at least 100000. Great Britain, whose
import in the year just closed was 13O,OOO,OOO
bushels, will not require over 100,O00O0O in
the coming year. Excluding France and
Italy the Mediterranean countries will be able
to supply their demand from neighboring
sources of supply. A deficiency in Germany
will probably do no more than absorb a sur
plus from Hungary. while Italy and the rest
of Europe are not likely to need over 3OOOO,-
600 bushels against 100000 in 1879. Except
in the case of France and Great Britain, all of
these figures are approximations, but they
point to demand which will turn 200, ,OOO, 600
bushels. To meet this demand the United
States has 1S0,000OO0 and Australia, Egypt
and other smaller sources of supply 26O00,-
600 bushels. In 1879 Russia exported S260O,-
600 bushels, and profitable price for the
grain Of the western States undoubtedly de-
pends to-day on the Russia export Should
Russia export even half its usual quantity,
grain win be cheaper this year than ever be-
fore.
