The .'01111.let.- returns of exporta during the last fis cal year have now been published.

The price of wheat, therefore, appea; l i depend this year largely upon th- exports and th- price of orn, unless the ?-heat yield sho ild prove equal to or ahould exceed the urrenl commercial estimates If anybody ?'Ishes to dispute these estimates, he has first to take the fa. , that the stocks of vvh-at on hand July I, 1801, and Jul) 1.
