There have been chartered at Chicago
twenty.seyeD vessels to carry coin from
thence TO Buffalo at SC. per busbel. Their
cargoes will aggregate $4,000 bushels. Ii
is said that most il not all these vessels are
now loaded.
Mr.. Robert II. Lawder, of Whitby, Onta-
rio, sends US the following:
Statement showing the quantity Of wheat
and -four imported into and exported from
the Dominion OF Canada during the six
months ending 3lst December, 1S80-four
reckoned at ii bushels per barrel:
Bushels wheat imported. 6,94S,392; BUSH
els wheat exported, 7,927,9S4; barrels flour
imported, l24.4S4; barrels -four exported,
513,094-imports equal bushels wheat,
7,037.S23; exports equal bushels wheat,
1915, 1901; net exports equal bushels wheat,
3,ll3,56S.
The result exhibited by above return Of
the net exports from the wheat crop OF
Canada for 1880 must prove very disap.
pointir g TO all who carefully examined the
wheat.crop reports for the Dominion pre-
yious 10 and after last harvest. There was
undoubtedly large increase in the acreage
under wheat, especially in The fall wheat
growing sections, from almost all Of which
ing, both as to yield per acre and quality of
grain, hence 1t was confidently anticipated
that our net exports for the current cereal
year would exceed those OF the crop Of
1879. There were few counties where
the fall wheat had suffered severely
from winter.kilhng and rust, but the
extent OF damage thus sustained APP
peared TO be more than balanced by
the extra good appearance and promise In
our largest fall.wheat districts. 1t is now
clear that the fali.wbeat crop has turned
out much less than was estimated, and the
deficiency In the spring-wheat crop has
proved larger than was anticipated. All
who are conversant with the wheat trade Of
Canada know that the bulk of the fall
wheat crop is generally delivered and eX-
ported before the 3lst December. 1t is
thought by most millers and dealers that
there was barely enough wheat left in Can
ada al New.Year 10 meet the home con-
sumption for seed and bread up TO next
harvest. Assuming this opinion to be cor
rect, and that the net exports for the above
six months represent the whole surplus
from last crop, the comparison for lat
few years will be as follows:
Net export for 1SI5-'G-3, $50, $50 bush
els; 1867, - bushels; 1878, g.
5S3.640 bushels; 1889, 3, 99S. 1907 bushels :;
1S79-'S6, 6.5S6,667 bushels; 1880 Il, 3.l13,-
56S bushels. Imports for 1867, 2,2l1 1921
bushels.
Beerbohm's London cable reports the
farmers deliveries in the United Kingdom
Of wheat for the week ended March ), 1881,
at 10000 TO 5000 quarters in the 1je towns,
and estimated in the Kingdom 100000 TO
14Q,ee0 quarters. The imports Of foreign
for the same week were 1876, 900 to lac 900
barrels OF flour, $4,000 TO 100000 quarters
OF wheat, and 100000 to 100000 quarters of
maize. The supply OF wheat, including
1s0r and foreign and homegrown wheat
wss equal TO 400 9i7 to 5lS.7o0 quarters
against about 454 200 to 900 quarters es-
timated weekly consumption, showing an
excess OF supply over consumption OF 49,
sf3 to $3.50 quarters.

AZ Alexandria. Egypt, about the middle
