Grain storage has not expanded with the increased production. 

 The total storage capacity of the fourteen principal markets is ap- 

 proximately 200,000,000 bushels. Of this more than 150,000,000 bush- 

 els capacity is the old wooden style construction with high rates of 

 interest and insurance. This leaves only about 50,000,000 capacity 

 being of steel or iron. Seaboard capacities are very limited and de- 

 creasing. 



EXPORTS OF CORN. 



It is not necessary to say much concerning our corn exports from 

 the United States. We export annually less than one per cent of our 

 crop, while Argentina exports approximately fifty per cent of her 

 crop. In 1914 this country exported 7,296,000 bushels. Table No. 68 

 shows the destination of this grain. In the same year, we imported 

 903,062 bushels. Our corn exports represented only little more than 

 one per cent of the amount of corn shipped outside of the county 

 where grown in 1914. Most of the export corn from all countries goes 

 to the European markets. The principal distributing points are Liver- 

 pool, London, Glasgow, Hull, Manchester, Hamburg, Bremen, Chris- 

 tiana, Copenhagen, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Havre, Marseilles, Genoa 

 and Naples.
