GERMAN CROP STATISTICS.
Under the date of Bremen, September
lst, 1881, Consul Grinnell reports official
statisticstha show the production Of cereals
in the German Empire from August lst,
1880, to August lst, 1881, to be as follows ;
Wheat, lOG,05s,OG6 bushels; rye, l9S,5Ol,-
900 bushels; barley, lOO,l2s,793 bushels;
oats, 205,96S,0GO bushels corn, 497,39O
bushels; peas, beans, &C., 2O,O5O,4 ,443 BUSH
els. Imports, same period: Wheat, l7,OOO,-
700 bushels; oats, l4,53G,Ol5 bushels; corn,
1O,l75,65G bushels; peas, beans, &C., l,52l,-
5l2 bushels. The official report adds, with
some apparent ComplaCenCy, that the duties
collected on the importation of grain dur
ing the above period, amounts to about
81, 9S5, 100, being very much more than the
estimates made in 1870.
Consul Grinnell says no thinks these
figures are of value, showing, as they do,
the growing need In Germany Of articles
we can best supply and especially Us to
corn, that ~ the Germans become more
familiar with It's excellence as food for man
and animals, and Its relative Cheapness tho
demand will only be limited by the amonnt
we can spare. The tariff from which the
above duties were collected went into effect
July Sth, 1879. 1t bears especially hard
upon the labOring class, except farmers,
and It is said even they are dissatisfied.
CONDITION or THE FARMERS

year by year. The condition Of the crops
