THE WHEAT TRADE.
Reports Upon the Prospects of Enlsrgi
the Export.


the Export.
WASHINGTON, March SIN reporting
to the state department upon the pros
poets of charging the American wheat
trade, the United States consul at Hong
Kong, China, says that little can be
done at that place, as the Chinese use
the cheaper rice in preference to -four.
He believes, however, that the opening
to trade of new districts on the Yellow
river and the reduction of duties at
Canton will result in some increase
The consul at Newcastie-or-Tyne.
England. has no suggestions to offer.
there being no duty on wheat or flour
and no obstacle to the extension of
the trade which is very important and
long established The sources of sup
ply and prices are well known to deal
ers in Great Britain, and the only Ques-
tions they consider are quality and cost
of delivery.
The consul at Liege, Belgium, sug-
gests the formation of agencies in
cities of over 10O,OO0 inhabitants to
push the trade. The Belgium millers
all admit the superiority of American
grain, and but for its higher price it
would control the markets AS it is, al
though no effort has been made. the
trade has increased Sin the last five
years at the rate of 10 per cent per
annum.
The consul at Mantanzas, Cuba, re-
ports that we now have the entire
wheat and flour trade there and any in
crease must come from increased con-
sumption by the working classes, who
at present use little flour. In three
years the trade has increased 60 per
cent.
The consul at Christiana, Norway,
thinks that-much might be done to in
crease the trade with that country,
could transportation thither be faciii-
tated. Now American wheat is deliv-
cred at the pleasure of the railroads, is
often two or three months on the road,
,, and purchasers are driven to the use Of
, German wheat
