The President of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail

,oad exnresses the most entire confidence that the
Road will be completed to Wheeling in two years
from June coming. The Company are in posses
sion Of ample means for that object They have
now inward Of $500 hands at work on the most
df6cult part Of the Road, and calculate to spend

The bill appointing Receivers for the New Hope
Delaware Bridge Company has passes the fenn-
sylyania Legislature but not in the same shape IN
which it passed the New Jersey Legislature sam
mel Buckuan. John Rank and William Wilson are
the receivers named in the Pennsylvania aw-on'y
one of the three being named in the New'JeTsey
law and the bill is altered in other respects Inc
consequence OF this is that the acts OF the LegIsa
lures are, a. present, inactive.
The Chicago Tribune gives the annexel n
formation in regard to Breadstuiis A'ier stating
that the Transactions Of the preceding week had
been considerably heavier than those OF any one
since tie opening of navigation, with an increased
demand both from the South and East beside
speculative operations among home dealers goes
on 70 say OF the Ct Louis market, that the receipts
in that city from the 9th to the 10Th, exclusive ol
few lots Of Wheat and Flour from this place aver
age about 200 bushels Of Wheat and 2l7 Dds OF
Flour per day, which is a falling oil OF al least
five sixth from the average Of the last ten days IN
April. These receipts viii do little more than sup
ply ST. Louis. 70 say nothing of what IS wanted IN
towns and plptations upon the Mississippi from
that city TO New Orleans. Nashville u also d.
pendant upon St Louis for Breadstufs, and vii
want. between the present time and harvest, not
less than from 5000 10 10000 bbs OF Flour
The upper country, under the stimulus OF high
prices, has shipped itself so short that almost Every
boat takes up more or less -four Fulton, one oil the
best wheat growing counties in Illinois, is also said
TO be short. and obliged to draw on st. Louis to
supply the deficiency.
A gentleman lust from southern Illinois states
that. in the counties east from St. Louis, nouris
worth s. per barrel, and has to be transported by
teams the distance OF one hundred miles to supply
the wants Of the community.
The Editor then goes on to speculate upon the
further probable drafts which ST. Louis vii be
obliged to make upon Chicago and vicinity. 70 sup
ply herself and the surrounding country, which has
been heretofore in the habit of contributing to her
wants, and draws the conclusion, that losing sight
of all eastern demand, and the certainty OF an al
vance in this direction, there is sufficient induce
ment to holders to keep cool and hold on to their
produce for a time, with the expectation that they
may, before the expiration Of the three months
still to elapse before receipts can be had from the
new crop, command their own price for It.
