WHEAT.
ESTIMATES OF CONSUMPTION AND PoPULATIo
CoMPARED-THE YEARS SURPLUS.
Tothe Editor ofThe Tribune

Sir. The exports of wheat, including -four at
four and a half bushels to the barrel, amounted
during the crop year ending June 80 TO ABOUT
100 800, 900 bushels The exact net exports Tor
eleven months, and the exports, according to the
preliminary statement for June. amount to lo9,-
Ell 032 bushels, against SS,5l7,44 for the pre-
vious year, an increase of 2O,153,592 bushels.
Reckoning the increase Of population at per
cent yearly besides immigration, as heretofore ana
that the mean population for the year consumes
4 1-2 bushels per CAPITA besides 54,0OO,0O0 bush
els for seed, the quantity remaining for export
according TO past estimates was 173, 55s, II bush
els for the crop year, that there was carried
over in excess of the stock on hand at the last
point Of greatest exhaustion, July /, 1882, 64,-
2s7.6s4 bushels, against "a, Jos a year ago.
These estimates are controvertcd by certain or
CANS of spectators, on the ground that consumr-
ton for food, according to the Agricultural De-
partment averages % bushels per capita. But
the Department estimate of yearly consumption,
which would be demonstrably false If applied 10
any other than Mr.. Dodges own unique estimate
of population, these organs then apply 10 popuia-
tion figures of their own manufacture. 1.-THE
Cincinnati Price Current" even has the audacity
to assert that its guesses about population are
those of United States officials" 1t is enough
to state that the figures given by that paper do
not agree at all with the estimates officially pub
lished by the Treasury Department, or by the
Bureau of Statistics or with the estimates by the
late E. b. Elliot, nor with any known estimate by
any other Official but they are in fact calculated
by The Cincinnati Price Current on theory
Of its own, accepted by nobody else to my knowI-
edge namely, that The rate of increase in popula-
ton is 1s per cent yearly besides immigration.
Anybody has right to use this or any other pri-
vate estimate, but cannot honorably speak Of 1T
as official. Even upon its own theory The Gin
cinnati Price Current" blunders to the extent of
nearly 80 900, 900 bushels for the period of which
it treats by reckoning as consumers only the
population at the beginning of the year, instead
of the mean population for the crop year. If
200. 900 immigrants arrive between July and
January l. they have to be fed from this years
yield of wheat.
Mr.. Dodge neither accepts the official estimate
of population nor follows any discoverable theory
of his own, and his tables simply laughabe.
Thus in his March ISSUE the table Of consumption
for food since $780, on the basis of 2-3 bushels
per head of population per annum," represents a
decrease of 800 900 bushels from $50 TO 1881
an increase of 20,95O,OOO bushels the next year,
Int only 900 900 bushels the next an Increase
NJ Z 500 900 bushels in 1854, 6,000O bushels in
eoch of the three following years, 100000 |
husbels in 1883 and only 100000 bushels in |
1889. 1t is not necessary to tell any intelligent

A SHIPMENT OF LIVE ALLIGATORS
THE BIGGEST OF ALL BREAKS LOOSE DURING

THE VOYAGE.
The steamer Yemassee arrived here yesterday from
Jacksonville Fla with cargo Of curiOsitles that VIII
probably excite interest at Coney Island wRere
they will soon be exhibited. The cargo includes a
family OF twenty seven alligatOrs. The patriarch OK
the family is eleven feet long aud OF an exceedingly
vicious disposition. There also unhappy couple
whose respective lengths and six feet The
remaining members Of the family are frisliy Young
ones. The patriarch was captured in the swamps OF
Florida, after n desperate struggle and his owner
says that the big gator tumped hole three feet deep
in the ground, with his tail, before lie securely
bound
The patriarch's wrath was bottled up, so to
speak, by big ropes and a mnzzle. Put he managed
to break loose from his box on tie voyage tlroueh
the indiscreon Of Mr.. and Mrs Alligator, who had
box near him. Once twice the patriarch showed
inclination to eat Mr.. Alligator and Mrs. Alligator
made matters by nippng the patriarch's legs,
which enraged the old gentleman much once that
lie broke his bonds. lie then made for his neigbOrS
compartment. Mr.. Alligator prepared for the attack
by retreating to the end Of his box and opening his
mouth. The patriarch instantly bit of half Of Mr..
Alligator's upper Jaw at one snap. slapped Mrs.
All gators face with his tail and sauntcrcd home.
Mrs. Alligator retired to her corner and said some
thing sarcastic to her mate to the effect that ID was
not only women who opened their mouths at tho
wrong time. Mr. Alligator suffered more than he ever
did from the toOthache but the wound will probably
heal and he will figure a halfjawe gator He
already eat again.
