The Food supply For Great
Brif0iu.

As nearly as could be estimated on the
1st day of January, 1880, the stock Of
wheat in store in the United kingdom
amounted TO 100000 bushels, and
there was afioat and on its way from At
lantic ports about 1900, ,0O0,a and from the
Pacific, about 13,500,000 bushels, the ar
rival of which would be probably spread
over four months. At the rate of the or
dinary demand for consumption of g.
600, 900 bushels per week, there would
be available from the stock on hand and
from the Atlantic ports supply for about
eight weeks under ordinary circumstan-
ces, but under the great scarcity and ina
bility to purchase, largely diminished
consumption must ensue, which would
make the available 1S,500,000 sufficient
for two months and half, or about the
middle of March, from which time the
arrivals from the Pacific coast must be-
gin to afford partial supply. From the
above statement fair estimate may be
made of the urgency of the demand from
the United Kingdom upon our abund-
ance now in store in this country, which
may be very much less than many have
imagined.
