McGLORY AGAIN IN COURT.

Justice Alfred Steckler appeared before JUS
tee Donohue yesterday morning in the Supreme Court
to make argument in behalf OF the admission OF Billy
McGlory to bail. His client accompanied him and was
the cynosure OF the eyes of many as
could cram themselves into the courtroom Assistant
Disrict-Attorney Paris represented the State. Mr.
seoker stated that McGory had been convicted OF vo-
laton OF the Excise laws; that there reasonable
doubt whether the conviction would stand and that the
prisoner should be admitted 10 bail pending an appeal 10
the General Term Mr. seckler urged that errors mad
been committed in the trial. that the prepOnderance OF
evidence favor OF the convicted man. that the con-
vcton against law since the barkeeper and not
the prisoner sold the liquor; that the offence was
charged having taken place in the First Ward, while
IL occurred the Sixth and that the records or the
Board of Excise should have been produced instead OF
the testimony OF the Commissioners being taken. MT
Paris argued that the prisoner had not been entitled 10
writ habeas cOrpus thar there had been no stay OF pro
eeedngs and therefore the prisoner was not 10
bah that under the Code the employer OF the barkeeper
was the principal and that IL not necessary for him
to have delivered the liquor the bar Justice
DouOhue adjourned the hearing until tomorrow, when ne
will render his decision McGory was taken pack 10 the

OVER 125, 600 900 BUSHELS AVAILABLE FOR
EXPORT.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: There has been so much disputing ana
60 much wild guessing about the quantity OF wheat In the
country or the quantity required for consumption that
there may be a disposition TO welcome something IKE
definite settlement OF the matter the basis OF IN
formation which all Will admit Is the best obtansDe'
The reports Of the Treasury Department nave peen
doubted "a to other matters but TO the exports
and imports OF -four and wheat The final statements OF
the Bureau OF Agriculture have been much criticised
hut when corrected by the returns they are al
itted to be the best information that can be obtained IN
this country as to the acreage and crop different years
Since the war these records have been prepared upon
substantially the same system. and since 1867 the hdus-
trial condition Of the population has not so changed thaV
any material variation in the average consumption OF
wheat taking good years with bad can well nave oe-
curred II happens tnat about July l. 1867 the supply
NJ wheat was reduced exceedingly low And again, the
exhaustion OF stocks was relatively still greater about
Julv 1867 because the partial failure Of crops the
year before in this and other countries At that time
old wheat came market that had been undisuroed
Tor long time-in some instances at least for seven
years Considering that the stock ordinarily held over
has increased with the growth OF population and trade
and that the exhaustion in 1882 relatively IN
precedeuted it may be assumed that the stock in the
country was substantially tho at the beginning
and at the end Of this period Of fifteen years Now the
quantity raised in each OF these crop years and the acre
age according to the Bureau Of Agriculture, for thirteen
Years and the census reports FOR 1sG9o and 1S79S0
and the quantity exported in Of imports, accord
ing TO the Official reports OF the Treasury -four being n
cuded wheat at four and half bushels To the oarep
are shown in the following table:
