The receipts thus far this year. compare more favor
ably with those Of 1876 than year before or sinc.
comparison with last year is not fair as the same
influences are not at work to bring out supplies
Prices have not ruled much more than one half as
high during the came period in 1s47; and there is
not the slightest speculative moveme Mt in n single
article of breadstus 1t is, therefore by no means
strange THAT there should have been such an
decrease in the receipts and doubt if our sunnli.s
at the close of navigation will be equal to the demand
at the sea- board for consumption and exporta.;or
There is however, very little danger Of famine what
ever may be the prospect relative to high prices ur
works of internal improvement have become suAs-
GENTLY advanced to keep open the commu ;t
the interior throughout the year. nd suppies of b-ooa
stufis reach us at all seasons This winter orr rail
road communication with Albany will be comp,eted
by way Of Bridgeport and IF necessary flour and pro
visions will be brought to market by that route In
large quantities Prices will be better regulated BY
this outlet; and producers in the interior of THU
State, will find markets for their produc.s r,u.b
earlier than heretofore

In proper light There is no doubt but that cr...
abuses are practsed by the iron manufactures az
England, and that our Railroad comma nie. b.ro
pamed upon thema quality Of iron entirely unfit 6o-
the use to which 1t Is appropriated English rails
formed OF three layers Of iron of three different oua;
ties The surface of the rail is made of prettv ooo
IRON, the middle OF poorer kind and the under sds
OF the poorest quality. As soon as the upper crust
wears on the rail- nearly used up for the ncxt LAYER
VIII stand no wear Of consequence and the trunk ro
qures relaying. On the other hand, American rail-
road iron Is all through alike and 1t will wear even
from the top to the bottom. We have no doubt hut
that our manufacturers could out rails as good
rs those manufactured In Great Britain and as cheap
but as they do not understand the science of chean
and fraud thoroughly they have been compelled to
abandon the business. The commune to wh,.h
we refer, shows wherein the fraud exists.
