We learn from Mr.. Preston, Canal Super
intendent. that clcaranses will be given at
Chicago on Monday to boats through to Ii
Sale. The water will be let into the canal
at some points to-day, and during the first
days Of next week all the levels will pro'.a-
bly, be filled The Fox River Feeder, from
Dayton TO Ottawa, is sufficiently repaired
60 admit Of water being let in to-day, altho'
the repairs are not all completed. The cold
and wet weather, and continued high water,
has greatly retarded the work on this feeder
% well as on the whole line Of canal, and
aons but those intimately acquainted with
the matter can form any correct idea Of,
o. fully appreciate. the sleepless energy and
activity with which Mr. Preston has driven
the repairs on the canal.

Grain,-pariiculariy corn,-at the Eass
ard in Chicago, has taken an important rise
within the last two weeks; and from the
activity in the narket,-'he eaGerness to
buy and yet the unexpectedly small stock
coming forward, -prediction are daily be-
coming more confident that prices Of corn,
wheat, and oats will rule high the coming
season. We find in the commercial columns
of the Chicago Press or Tuesday the circu.
lar of Walker, Bronson & Co, grain dealers
in Chicago, III which important facts are
given in reference 10 the amount of grain on
hand at various important points compar ed
with former years. This shows that both
the quantity of wheat and corn in the mar
ket is much below that Ct last year, and that
prices must go up TO bring out sufficient
supply to meet the demands OF trade. We
COPY SO much OF the circular as refers to
corn, winch in this region is the important
staple.
These figures, however, we must be a.
lowed the apprehension, will hc found 10
some extent deceptive. H. is very true, there
is not nearly As much corn in the warehouses
at Ottawa at present as there was last spring,
but it is going too far to say that this is be-
cause the crop was 10 the same extent shorter
in the region from which Ottawa draws her
supplies. The corn crop was lutte below the
general average of yield per acre in this
county last year, while the breadth OF ground
planted was larger than ever before Tire
true reason why the quantity in store is
short As compared with last year :, that the
prices all winter ruled so exceedingly low,
end the roads were so bad, that little was
brought forward Il must, however, also
be borne in mind that on account of tie
scarcity Of fodder, and the unparalleled tar
dIncss of the spring, immense quantities Of
corn have been fed 10 cattle, which othcrw Use
would have come 10 market. On the whole
we think the prospect for good prices of corn
are fair, but not up TO the anticipaticns that
might be formed from the following figures
and spcculations:
