It is said to be under consideration of the ministry at home to stop in future the importations of American Wheat from any of the Thirteen United States, even when the ports are open, the landed interest having been more hurt by importations from thence than from all other parts.
The very low price of wheat in America makes their needy adventurers ship such quantities for Britain, when there is a prospect of the ports being open, as fill the country for months after.
American wheat, by proclamation in the Gazette lately, has the same restriction continued on it for other 12 months, viz.—"That no American wheat shall be sold till samples of it are sent to be examined by the Privy Council, and approved of by them."—Of about 30 cargoes of it that arrived at Liverpool last year, only four or five were allowed to enter.
