The Grain Yield Of 1877

The gram erop of the United States ;his autumn is a vast inercase ovor that of any preceding year in the hietory of ,he country. It amouuts in the two 'incipal creale, wheat and com, to 126,000,000 bulhels of the foliiler, nJtd 1,280,000,000 of Üle latter, ftccordiiig to the carehil estiftiattis of Mt.

JDuring the brief perioii mentioned our exports of wheat from the ports of New ïork, Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans and Portland b(e aggregated 11,525,188 bushels, agaicst an eïportation ffom th same ports during a eorresponding period of last vear of 8,668(981 bnshels, showing an increase of 7,586,037 btlshels. Tborö has also been an inerease of 708,284 bnshels in the exportation of rye during the same time, and in peas an inerease of 81,409 bushels. In corn alone there has been a falling off to the extent of 1,633,054 in that time.

To arrive at the amouut of corn sen abroad, it is proper to count in tha1 which goes in the compressed form o: pork. Our annual hog product exportation is about 4,000,000 hogs. As it tukes about fourteen bushels of com to fatten each hog, that will be equivalent to about 56,000,000 bushels more of corn to be added to the exports annually, as sent in the form of animal food. We also send a great deal barreled up in the shape of whisky. Corn meai is in cluded in the estímate, mlueed to bush els. The increase in Eugland's irnporfation of breadstull's from this country in the year ending Aug. 31, 1877, amounted to almost as niuch as tho average of her importations during the ten years preceding. Of corn aione she took out 33,000,000 bnshels. Her total importation was about 80,000,000 bushels, of which 60,000,000 were from this country, and 20,000,000 from Southeastern Europe. The importation of corn into Germany, Franee and the United Kingdom promises to increase largely, as of late years a general teudeney to resort to it as food for stock, instead of oate and cut feed, bas been manifest. It is found to be one-third cheiiper in England than the material hitherto employed for that use. Gcrmany's supply will, however, be drawn mainly from Hungary.
