The BreadstuEs Trade.

The New York Express remarks that
business on the Corn Exchange has been
very active for some time past, and prices
have gone up considerably. Various causes
have been assigned for this, such as the appre-
tensions of disastrous war in Europe. the
knowledge that the amount Of -four ami
grain in the country is below what had been
supposed, etc. There seems TO be some
ground for the latter belief, though not
enough to account for the whole rise The
truth is, the Express conlectures, that the
recuperation of commerce from Its paralysis
of more than year has affected tavorahiy
breadstuf1S as well rs everything else. Spec
ulation is rife among the dealers. Sales
of barrels, by the thousand, 80 on gilh!y

brokers sell bank stocks. Huge piles OF
flour cram immense warehouses. waiting Tor
