Nor MUcH LIKE FANINE.-The receipts of
breadstuffs at the upper lake ports are tremendous,
and in the face of the immense receipts OF corn.
and the export demand but nominal, with limit
ed dstiling business, the present price OF this de-
scripiion of grain cannot be maintained. lO3,-
436 bushels were received at ports on the upper
lakes in one day. At Buffalo and Oswego the
receipts reported on Monday reached 1884 bbls.
of -four. 81 697 bushels of wheat, loO,O27 bush
els corn, and 1919, 275 bushels oats.
LAND -WARRANTs.-The market is by no
means gluted. Not more than four thousand
warrants have yet been issued. and these have
been scattered over the whole Union, so that no

price ranging from 81 09 to Sl.l0 per acre, &C
cording to the size of the warrant; whilst at New
York and Philadelphia 81 OF has been the pre-
vaing price, We understand the tendency IS
now downward. as there will be large issue OF
eighty's on the LIST July.
