Grain Exports Reach Record Heights and Outlook
The United States exported 281,000,000 bushels of grain in the year ending June 30, 1880 valued at $277,000,000. Wheat led with 179,000,000 bushels and flour exports totaling 29,000,000, setting a record and signaling robust demand as prices averaged $1.24 per bushel. Corn shipments reached 99,191,000 bushels at $0.51 per bushel, while the broader market faces uncertainties from European supply and Russian output, with forecasts of a potential 480,000,000 bushels US crop for 1880 and a large portion likely for sale.
