Statement showing the values of exported corn and corn 

 meat from the United States, for the decade ending June 

 30, 1850. In consequence of the change of the fiscal year, 

 in 1843, from September 30 to June 30, the figures given 

 for that year are for a period of nine months only : 



The exports of wheat for the same period were valued 

 at $15,641,878 ; of flour $100,431,897 ; of other grain and 

 pulse $3,631,784. The percentage of Indian corn to all 

 the other exports from the United States for this decade 

 was 2.95; of corn meal 1.07 ; of wheat 1.40 ; of other grain 

 .324 ; of flour 8.97. It will be observed the exports of In- 

 dian corn and meal, for the year 1847, were largely increas 

 ed. This was due to the famine which prevailed that year 

 in Ireland. Immense quantities of corn and corn meal 

 were sent from this country to the relief of her suffering 

 people. i
