WHEAT.

While on the subject of British con-
sumption Of breadstuffs, it may not be
considered a depression to refer TO the
remarks made on the opening day by
our friend on the English delegation,
MIR. HILBERT. understood him to saw
that his people would buy our wheat,
but did not or would not, il they could
help it, buy our flour. Let us see what
they have done in this line during the
past twenty years. In the year 1859
Great Britain imported of wheat flour
made in this country 232,OOO barrels.
During all the years up to that date
there are only two in which the quanti-
ty fell below this figure, while the i'm
portations average far above. reaching
in several years as high as $780, 600 10
5000. 600, aggregating nearly Is, 0OO, 900
barrels for the twenty years; the last
year, 1879, showing 2,629, 900. The
British official figures just referred to
place the quantity at 6,633. 600 cwts.
This does not look as though our En-
glish cousins could stop buying from
us, even if they wanted To. Mr.. Hib-
bert also made the statement that
American flour sold in English markets
for less money than in New York. Did
he mention this fact as being something
strange. or simply that it was a condi-
ton Of affairs very detrimental to his
interests rs q British miller? Docs he
not know that American millcrs and
shippers, in placing our surplus flour
when necessary upon British markets
At prices lower than those ruling at
home, arc doing only the same thing
that British shippers have always done
in every line Of goods manufactured
in the kingdom? We are apt schol-
ars, and VIZ were taught long years
ago r. our English cousins to throw
on other markets our surplus, and, if
necessary, dispose Of it at the best A.
tainai,lc price. Just what margin of
profit there is to our millcrs Mt prices
now ruling in English markets for
American flour know not, but have
not the slightest doubt in my own mind
that we will continue to ship good
supply to those markets, and in view of
the fact that VIC are constantly chcapen-
ing the cost of manufacturing by in
crcasing production and by the use of
most improved appliances. In view of
these facts I see no reason why we
should not always undersell, if neccs-
sary, any competitors from any quarter.

The Worlds Wheat Crop.

At the convention of millers at Gin
cinnati Mr.. Howard Lockwood, editor
Of the american Null anil Erport Jour-
nal, read very valuable paper on the
whcat-crops of the world. 1t was a
very carefully prepared paper, evident
~ tho result of much careful research.
The following is an abstract of the adj
dress:
In the year 1890 there were exported
from this country 1,124, 458 bushels of
wheat and 724, 1928 barrels of flour.
The year 1879 shows an export of wheat
more than one hundred times greater
than 1890. amounting to l22 ,353, 1886
bushels. while the export of flour aggre-
gated for the year, 5,629, ia barrels, or
nearly the same increase. What an
immense significance is attached to the
figures have just read. What prog
rcss is indicated by them! In the year
1890 the original thirteen States were
stretched along the Atlantic coast, q
mere fringe to the mighty Government
that was afterward spread over this
continent, from ocean to ocean. These
States contained population about the
same as the State of Ohio docs to-day.
The export of wheat seems to have
continued in about the same amounts
till the year 1895, when it fell off to
141, 900 bushels, and kept declining till
the year 1899, when only 10000 BUSH
els were sent out of the country. After
that there seems to have been grad
ual Improvement to the year 1907,
wen 1,173.O0O bushels arc on the rec
Ords.
The year 1909, however, shows an
almost entire wiping out of our export
in this line. but 1852 bushels having
been sent out Of the country. In 1915
there arc to be found no entries of ex-
ports of wheat, aud only 1O3. 900 bar
rcls of flour. From 1915, however, the
flour reports took an advance to over
sou, 900 barrels. and have continued To
run up heavily every year down to the
present time. increasing until 1879,
year showing an aggregate of $685.
600 barrels, valued at $29. 500, 900. Ex-
ports of wheat varied from 1914 10 1910
and 1876, 1886 showing only. 2,O62
bushels, while in 1910 1,72O, 600 are re-
corded. In 1857. the year of the panic,
we shipped abroad IA $50, 900, bushels.
and in 1862 the grand figures of ST.
800. 600 wcro reached. 1t was not UNI
til 1873, another panic year, that the
figures of 1862 were beaten and doubled,
tho value being SOL. 42l. 900. The
same result was shown in 1873, and the
great year of 1879 showed 122, 1853, 900
bushels, valued at $3.50, 701, ZOO.
Here is table showing the average
annual exports of wheat and flour for
each five years. and the average prices,
as far as could be ascertained, from 1890
TO 1879:

A Curiosity from Japan.

A curious crowd gathered about the
United States Customs Appraiser on the
Pacific Mail Dock yesterday afternoon
to witnesses the opening and examina-
ton of a case brought on the I ity of
Toxic and said to contain the preserved
remains of a veritable "sea unicorn"
the first of the species, it is said, ever
caught. 1t was captured alive by
means of a net near Cape Segami. but
died soon after it was taken. The hide
was stuffed and carefully preserved by
q skillful taxidermist. The body is Of
the size of small deer and covered
with scales about an inch in diameter,
with tufts of reddish-brown hair grown
quite plentifully between the scales.
Its legs are quite slender and have long
hair about the hoofs, which resemble
those of q deer or goat. The tail is
straight and tufted, like that of a COW,
while the snout is enlarged at the end
like that of q swine, and the mouth
shows formidable tusks protruding ON
either side. From the center of the
face projects single horn, not more
than six inches in length and less than
an inch in diameter, which curves up

there are two long feelers or tcntacles.
one on each side Of the mouth, rcsem-
bling somewhat those on horned pout.
The hair upon the neck is longer than
elsewhere, Of the same reddish COLOR
and has the appearance Of short name;
The fishermen related that this animal
was sometimes seen upon the shore, and
that he made musical noise which
oaye him the name Of "the singing uni
Corn" It is apparent that this is q
yery different species from the narwhal
of the Asiatic seas, which is popularity
called the sea unicorn, and. which Is
q cetacean mammal of the genus
Monodon. It is described in the books
as powerful animal, from ten to six
teen feet in length, with blow-hole on
the top Of its head, and . single spiral
horn or tusk of solid ivory i've or six
feet in length.

calls it the "monocerous," which il
