VII. — Imports of Grain and Flour. 



The striking feature in the half-year's supplies of grain and 

 flour is the great increase in barley, the imports of the six 

 months ended June 30th last beino^ more than double those of 

 the corresponding period last year. Wheat, maize, and oats 

 "were also received in larger quantities than in 1893, while 

 the imports of wheat flour declined, as will be seen from the 

 table below.

Of the countries whence the supplies of wheat and wheat- 

 flour came, the most important in respect of quantities supplied 

 are distinguished in the following table. It will be seen that 

 the receipts of wheat in grain from the United States were nearly 

 4,000,000 cwts. below those of the first six months of 1893, but 

 this decline was more than made up by the larger entries of 

 grain from Russia.
