THE GRAIN TRADE OF THE WEST is a subject
of a good deal ofdiscussion in the papers. Some
of the Western papers say that there is compare
lively but little wheat in store the railroads and
canals of that section of the country The price
of seed wheat in the interior of Illinois is consider
ably above the market spring wheat for seed and
milling bringing from 81 90 to 81 so, and the sup
ply furnished is barely sufficient to meet home
consumption The stock of corn, on the other
hand, is represented as being quite heavy. Al
Louisville the price of corn had declined material
ly, causing to speculators serious losses. Holders
have in great measure ceased shipping. as the
price in foreign markets would not warrant the
cost of transportation.

CANAL ACROSS THE IsTHMUs OF SUEZ This
great enterprise, which, for many years, has seem
ed too visionary project to be seriously entertain
ed is likely to prove not only practicable but to be
actually realized b.
The commission of engineers and scientific men
whom the ficeroy of Egypt appointed to examine
and determine upon the practicability of uniting
ocean to ocean by this means, have made report
in which they declare that the canal could be built
on nearly direct route from Suez to the Gulf of
Pelusium with branch to the Nile. The cost is
So, ,000, 600, and the construction will take six
years. At Suez 25 feet of water will be found at
the distance of 5000 feet from the shore.
! The port to be constructed in the Gulf of Pelu.
sium, which the former project placed at the bot
tom of the Gulf, will be located twelve miles to
the west on part of the coast where the water is
25 feet deep at less than the distance of two miles
from the shore, and where the anchorage is good.
and getting under sail is easy. 1t is estimated that
a saving will be made In distance between the res
pective places and Bombay, follows: Constant
