morning says:
A lot Of new was received to-day By the 1ndi-
annapolis and Cincinnati Railroad-thc first in
staltnent of q, ,0G0 bushels, which that Com
pany has contracted With one party, ut point
east of Indianapolis, to carry to this market
during the month. The crop in Indiana is very
large-in some localities enormous, and we hear
railroads west Of indianapolis as low as a0c. 4
prirateletter from Marshall, ILL.,, ION the W.
bash) informs us that it is offered there, for fu-
ture delivery, at e0c. In many places farmers
are puzzled to know how to dispose Of their
surp1us stock hogs being scarce Nobody is
disposed to sell hogs at present. and but few of
any kind are being sent to market.

There was sale of new to arrive at 6oc- We
new corn 10 60 to Lebanon. Indiana, ut zoe per
bushel, in all Of October The l. l. Z. r. Il. has
contracted TO bring 10000 bushels to the city,
one half to come in this month The price ut
which this above sale was made was undoubt-
cdiy very low, and might be regarded as very
strong ''bear" moyeme eut on the part Of a seller
interested in hog purchases or whisky making.
We venture the prediction that the seller will
hare lard time meeting his contract.
