The average value of United States wheat differs little in the last three 

 annual statements. Taking the same periods of nine months, the aver- 

 ages of the past three are respectively $3.14, $3.23, and $3.20. The 

 highest price is for wheat of the Austrian territories. 



British imports of new wheat. — Since the wheat-harvest in 

 Great Britain the imports of flour have been over 5,000,000 quarters, 

 the estimated wants of this kingdom being from 8,000,000 to 9,000J)00 

 quarters. At the same rate of arrivals it is estimated that within nve 

 months after harvest much the largest part of the requirement for the 

 year will be imported, leaving only 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 quarters for 

 the remaining seven months.
