spectfully to announce, that he has constructed a
CHART; illustrating the bearings of the princiipal objects,
eitliet immediately or remotely connected With " TTIE CORN

influence on the prices of Grain,.are shewn for a series of

tions, with their causes, exhibited in a, manner never before

though it is presumed the Chart affords elements ample

public opinion.
