grown was equal to 5.5 bushels per capita
In 1870 it was equal to 6.1 bushels. and in
1880 it was increased to 90 bushels; yet in
1889 il had declined TO "a bushels, and in
1893 is likely to fall below Sc bushels per
capita. IL such is the result Of this year S
harvest. it will no more than meet domestic
requirements. and the exports we make
must be derived from the large stocks now
in store. The present harvest will moi pro-
vide more than enough for home consump-
tion, and the surplus of last year will soon
be disposed of. This wall advance prices
more rapidly than they fell. Therefore we
may expect prices to advance 10 remuner-
