lyeaf, as reported Dy the bureau or sta
tistics Of the department of commerce
and labor. For the first time also the
monthly exports of wheat were less
in quantity than the exports of corn.
Grain receipts during January at Is
important markets, 69.4O3.731 bushels,
show but little variation from the Jan.
uary figures of the preceding year and
the January average for the Dreced-
ing 5-year period. The total inbound
movement was made up of 16,494 ,484
bushels Of wheat; 29,4S2,533 bushels
of corn; 16.487593 bushels Of oats;
6,l87041 bushels Of barley; and 752.
$50 bushels Of rye. As compared with
corresponding 1910 figures for the
more important grains. the receipts of
corn, oats, and barley, show larger
totals, while those or wheat show a
sharp decline from the corresponding
monthly total. It should be stated
though that this decline is not a pc
culiar feather of the January receipts.
AS matter of fact wheat receipts for
all the months of the current season
beginning with September were lower
than the year before, indicating either
heavier receipts at the smaller mar
kets, for which no official reports are
had, or else larger stocks in the hands
of the producers The decrease may
be said to affect almost equally the
spring wheat and the winter wheat
markets. Wheat receipts at these mar
kets for the five months of the present
crop period fell more than 20 per cent
short of like receipts during the 1909-1O
season and about Is per cent short of
the average receipts during the same
period for the preceding five crop sea-
sons. The corn receipts at fifteen in
terror markets for the five months,
l14,204,16 16S bushels, were heavier than
Tor the same periods In the preceding
hve seasons, the larger receipts for
the current season corresponding to
the larger export demand at the Allan
TIC ports. The five months receipts
OF oats, 9O,S57 ,225 bushels, were larger
while those of barley, 44.6O7 655
bushels, smaller than for the preced-
ing season.

five months period since September
We're S7S,746,192 bushels, compared
with 4O0,270,433 bushels for the same
