PEORIA, ILLNo1s.-The Press of the 25th says: "In Peoria, not only every warehouse and store room is full of grain and flour, but every cellar in which 1t is safe to put grain, is also occupied. Several large warehouses are now being erected for that purpose, one of which is over 200 feet long and
 50 wide. We know of one dealer who has over two hundred thousand bushels of grain now in store, and three that have over one hundred thou sand bushels each. There is at pres ent in Peoria near one million bushels of grain, awaiting the opening of the river and canal for Eastern market A great portion of this would go for ward by railroad if it was completed; and as fast as removed, the ware houses would be reflled by grain from the country. If we have the requisite facilities for shipping by canal and by railroad, we may calculate on a business of over two millions of bushels in grain alone this season, with a large increase in pork, flour and whisky.
