WHEAT. 



Previously to 1833, the monthly returns of the importation and consumption of foreign and colonial corn were 

 collected together, in annual periods, commencing on 1st January, and terminating on 31st December. From 1833, 

 downwards, they have been made up, like the other accounts of this department, in periods, commencing on 6th 

 January in each year, and terminating on 5th January, in the year succeeding. This circumstance is necessary to 

 be noted, inasmuch as it explains why the aggregate imports and consumption of the several years, from 1826 to 

 1832 inclusive, as exhibited in the present statement, will be found to differ, to a small extent, from the quantities 

 shown in other accounts, which have been compiled, not, as in this case, from special monthly returns of the corn 

 trade, but from the ordinary records of the general commerce of the country. 



* Jfote. The returns for 1841 will be liable to alteration (although not to any considerable extent) when the 

 accounts of that year shall have been finally adjusted.
