' WJIKA T rilODUVtNQ CO UtfTIilh'S. In view of pur recent articles concerning the wheat producing Importance of various countries the report of Henry B. Snvder, United States Consul at Copenhagen, will be oNnlcrest. In ihoso articles we held that the United States now stands at the, front, /11 nl will continue to hold that position fur' sumo lime Income. Consul Snyder says that by dividing the principal countries into grain exporting and grain Importing countries he lluds llrst among the former-the Urti dd States, Russia stands next. Not ninny years since tills stale of affairs was reversed. In 1877 the two countries were on an equal fooling, but.sluce then the United States has obtained tho lead., .Many writers on tills side Oct llie water, says Mr. Snyder, seem to be of the opinion that we have now reached oil)' culminating point, that the vir¬ gin soil .of the West will shortly be exhaust¬ ed and that with a largely increasing pupil, lutlon, and the need of iirilllclid ininjureB oil the soil, tho export surplus will be dimin¬ ished and European tariucrs will be relieved trom the Intense strain of American compe¬ tition. Tills strikes us as false reasoning, or ut least that the lime for such.a change Is much too tar In Ihefutiiro to admit of the theory. There m'c-^lltoiis of unwnrkcil acres iu tho JVvRCjjttMRf, with the inufense In population there uJwork tho soil, will surely swell our overplus of wheat. It will-be many years hence before tho popiilallnu will lie so dense as to consiurio Oils'overplus. Besides ns 11 Bepubllc, our producers are not siib'|cct 10 llie disturbing lulluenct'S natural to mon¬ archies. Mr. Snyder regards British East In¬ dia as our most formidable opponent. In that country wheat cultivation has largely taken the place of the cultivation of rice ami other cereals. Its being under the direct protecion of England will also aid produc¬ tion. Attention Is at the present moment being strongly directed in England to the luilhcrauce ol Wheat growing through all possible niCiios, such as an Improved traus- pciit sistcni, either ol canals or railways, ami the Industry Is likely to Inn rise, li Is Ireely asserted by parties who preleud in he lully aeqiiiiiulcil with the cupucillc-i ol ihc country, that India will In a few yciu> be able to produce Irom thirty to lolly 'million qrttrters of wheat ol 11 quality equal to that of the United States or Itussia, with which to compete with us 011 the European grain markets. While lu 1871-72 the Indian ex¬ port amounted to somewhat over 100,000 quarters, In 1881-2, It hail reached lour mill- lorn. About 85 percent of this was directed to Ureal Britain, and the remainder 10 Eunice, Belgium and Italy. It Is quite clear that England, while lacking laud at home, Is making the most ol her East India pro¬ vince;. We shall'have to look out lor her. The other grain exporting countries, Aus¬ tria, 'Hungary, the Daniibhin provinces, Australia, Egypt, Spain, Canada, Chill and Sweden, are ol loo slight Importance to be considered. In the luuksoi grain Importing countries England stands llrst. France on¬ ly raises enough 4u exceptionally good har¬ vest years to feed herself. Her Imports are chiefly from Kusela and the. .United States. Germany Is nimble to support her popula¬ tion and Is supplied from Kusslii and Hun- giirv. In eloping Ids report Mr.Snyder says: "The cnlleellva amount of Imports anil exports or tho wliolu world In the trade or cereals in the later'years has reached to fnc- enormous cxlent of 100,000,000 quarters, and of 27,000,000 centals of Hour. 1 Ills cnllecllve 'quantity In Mm year 1870 was mure limn double that of 1800. This stu¬ pendous liitcriiallonal grain trade ol later yearn Is In great measure duo 10 the Im¬ proved moans nl'communication hy rail and steamships, and while it has hueii ol Immense benellt to mankliidat huge by reducing 1 lie price of one of the great staples or rood, t cannot bo denied, on the other hand,that t has bee.11 the means of bringing the agricul¬ tural liiiercsts ill many ciiuutrli's under a serious crisis, owing to tile severe competi¬ tion .10 which they luivo hlid to submit Irnm all quarters ol the globe. A dearth or par¬ tial inilliie of 01'ops-ls no longer of the sanie 'importance as In former days, when even Iriiin the very fear of such an event prices weti" stlMidlly driven up 10 a great height; wlille now, where supplies hmy lull short J,n one or more lands, llie want Is speedily made good from remote regions." , SUIPBUILWXO O.V TUB LAKES. The shipbuilding business will probably be belter on llie lakes this wlnterjhaii It bus been the corresjiondlng season for 11 number of years, the direction of the indiis|rv Is tin nlng toward the large and staunch Iron steamer and stcsmbarge. Kami & Burger, ol Manitowoc, Wis., will construct several schooners, however. The Union Steamboat Company. Buffalo, Is considering the advisa¬ bility of constructing another steambarge lifter the model and of the biiiiio dimensions as the Jcwett, which has already proved to he quite 11 success as 11 speedy and large carrier. If It Is decided tn^dupllcuie her the coqiract will be let to Walter, ol Buffalo. A vessel, to be of tho same ton¬ nage) as tho Golden Ago, Is also under con¬ sideration, wjilcli will likely bo constructed, at Toledo, and another of about the sumo ca parity at Bay City. At Saginaw mid Buy City several lumber barges arc already in process ol construction, and others being figured on. It is also Salel that the Detroit Drydock Company has several contracts for largo vessels, Including one alter the model of tho W. L. Frost. Wo luive al¬ so notice from our correspondent at Deiroli '.hut pliuiu-iire being perlecled for a mam moth Irpn passenger steamer for the Detroit & Cleveland Stoani Navigation Co., which will'cost In Ihc neighborhood of $300,000. She will bo propelled by 11 compound steam engine with leathering'wheels. (Juayle, Of Ibis city, is building a large steamer lor Captain Wilson, tlie dimensions of which we gave In a recent, Isssue. Ill addition to tho above I he Globe Iron Works, Cleveland, are constructing an Iron tug, which Is now well advanced. She is 77 feet over all, 17,feet beam and 11 feet depth of hold. The engine will he high pressure 20x20 inches, and the holler 7 feet In diameter and lit feel long. The hull is to be of eteel and iron, w lib iron decks and houses. This tug, like the Onoko, Is purely 1111 en¬ terprise of this firm and will be for sale when completed. The success and currying capacity of the Onoko has given her a gieat muni', and she is running second to none as a prolitable boat. The builders say they can and will duplicate het for nhnui 2.') per cent more than a Wjiiculen vessel ol I lie sauce ca¬ pacity, and built in equally geeoel sl.vle, would cost. It It is evident, tjiat since llie change ed small lor large boats anil the ahmist univer¬ sal use of steam with auxiliary sails, I'm sails alone, a general lone ol confidence has been given to shipbuilding Interests, which Is probably induced by tlie prelereuce of shippers to load largo vessels that give insur¬ ance of quick trips, than to ship by rail.

"On Wednesday lust, the steumboat Walk- In-ihe-Wuter left Black Rock at 4 p. m. on her regular trip to to Detroit; tho weather though somewhat rainy, did not appear threatening. A ter she had proceeded about four miles above Bird Island, she was struck by'a severe squall, which it was Immediately (icreelved had Injured her much, and caused her to leak,fust.

The lake became rough to a terrifying de¬ gree and every wave seemed to threaten Immediate destruction to the bout and all on hoard. This was truly to ttee. passengers and crew a night of terror and dismay. , To go forward was Impossible; (^attempt a return to Black Rock In the darkness and tempest would luivo been certain ruin, on account or tho difficulty of the channel and little less could be hoped whether the bout were anchored, or permitted to be driven on tho bench. Shu however was anchored and for u while, held fnst, but us evory one per¬ ceived eacli wave Increased her Injury and ciiiised her to leak fuster; the casings In her cabin were seen to move at every Kwell, and the creaking of her joints and timbers wus appalling; her engine was devoted to the pumps hut In spile of thohi all the water Increased to nil alarming extent llie storm grew more terrlllc. The 'ilnd blew mure violent us the night advanced, audit was* presently perceived Unit she was dragging her anchors, uud approaching the beach.
