(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER]

There appeared a little more life in the" trade
generally, and but for the want of money all
kinds of grain would be much dearer. Home
supplies will fall shorter than of late, espe-
cially if we get some fine weather for sowing,
and then, with discounts • little lower, we
anticipat• a better trade and higher prices.
