ADVANCE IN BREADsruFFs.-Our latest
ndvices from the Northern cities indicate an
advance in all kinds of breadstuifs. The
sales of wheat in New York for three days Of
last week amount to over 100000 bushels
The cause of this advance has been the re-.
ceipt of large orders from England and
France to supply the deficiency of the grain
crops in Europe. The advance on -four in
Baltimore has been from SO to 621 cents, and
on wheat IL cents. In New York -four has
advanced 81 to Sl,l2t on all grades, wheat 8
to l6 cents, and corn about cents.
TO supply this deficiency, we learn from
our Southern exchanges, the total amount OF
wheat shipped to New York from Charleston
and Savannah the present seoson is about
100000 bushels, all Of it the product of Ten.
nessee and Georgia. This is quite an item
in the trade of this section with the North.

said that he offered this acquaintance $4,000
of the money to go in with him and help ex-

of it which lacked the officers names, and
which he was going to Lexington to have
filled up by high officer of the bank, who
