The movements in breadstuns have been very limit
cd, and the aggregate expectation for the week
unusually small IL Ia possible that recent advice
from England may give an inpetus to shipments Of
breadstufs; but our domestic receipts continue so

left and must make the most OF It, In anticipation
Of . foreign demand sometime during the winter. I

nsnd for brssdstuGs rapidly increase. We shall
snIously look fer later sdvces regarding this ques
