GRAM IN C1sc1SsAr.-The Price Current Of
+ Wednesday says:
The great bulk Of the wheat arriving is still
being put in store, to wat better prices, and the
stock now in the city must be quite large. Lar
leg il scarce and advancing. and dealers becom
ing somewhat alarmed, owing to the light sup
plies. Prime is held at adsance Of fully 10cper
bushe3, as compared with the rnte current Il
week age. The receipts Of this grain, since the
lst Of September. have been but 81, 1881 bushels,
against 19s,6eo the corresponding time last
year.
This, however, is owing to the fact that brew
ers and malsters purchased largely in Canada,
this year have not done SO, but depended upon
the home supply The crop is fair one. but
not 1arge.
The GRAND TnrSk RALwAx-rnE v1c1oH1A
Da1peE.-The Montreal Witaess says:
The a1st inst is to be M err in Canadian rail-
way traffic. On that dag the FictorIa bridge is
expected to be ready for traffic, and the extern
sons Of the Grand Trunk line 10 Sarnia, and
from thence to Detroit, are to be opened. The
line from Portland to Detroit will then, we sup
pose, be the longest in the world owned by one
company, and lis through trufIic should be great
indeed. Already, esen without the above i'm
portant connecting Inks this line attrncts pas
sengers aud produce going from the valley Of
the Mississippi to the New England States mud
Europe; and the rumble Of its cars may be
heard in this vicinity ut all hours Of the day and
night. What the traffic on it may reach in C.
few years no one could safely estimate. But rs
the Erie Canul built up the city Of New York. go
will the Grand Trunk do much 10 build up Mon
traal, Quebec and Portland.
The enormous traffic which may thus be ex-
pected is m additional reason for demanding
if Cuicsgo itself would be much of city if oil
it's grain had 10 be carried in bags over two miles
uf bad road, and be loaded and unloaded, stored
and shipped, all by hand labor. We know one
commission house which pays about two thou.
sand dollars year for cartage from the Grand
Trunk Station ut Point st. Charles to this city.
aud II there is only twenty times ns much paid
by all other receivers Of produce, We hare
m annual amount of 80, 900, to which add
fourth part Us much for cartipg merchandise

saved by City and Wharf Terminus. If this
beavy charge were abated, there is no saying to
what exteut business would reach, and there
would certainly be sufficient increase Of busi.
ness to employ all present carriers on the short
est routes. So thut no one would suffer, while
the business Of the country und city would be
greatly benefited.
Since writing the above, we learn that there
is ut last a fair prospect Of au immediate and
favorable settlement Of the exceedingly iupor-
tant question Of city and wharf terminus.
