cnAxr.,os, ILL.,, Ju = Il, 1850.
About the middle Of last week, tho price Of
'orn here dropped from 84@25c to so@slo. aud
uddcnly the receipts from ,he country fell of
rom Ito to $50 wagon loads in day to 10 and
Is. During the latter half ofthe wctk, howev-
r. considerable. corn MAS brought in by parties
sho ship to Chicago on their own account and
sell or store there until prices suit. gather
from the sudden falling of in receipts, on The |
dropping Of price, irst, that there is not 80
much old corn in tho country ~ many have
Judged; and, second, th,t what there IL, is in
,hs hands Of class Of farmers who can and
will hold, il necessary, for tho next ak months
or six years.
We are now nearly two weeks without rain.
md the small corn wi1ts under the torrid impu-
dence of tho blazing July sun, like Douglas
chances for the Presidency Sunday aud Mon
day, the 18th and 10Th, were two as warm days
as We often see in this latitude. There isprom-
Use Of rain in the complexion Of the sky. and
many signs conspire to Aat.er US that showers
are at hand. :.
We feel the need here Of a railroad connec-
ton with the East. 4 branch nine miles long
would connect Us with the Great Western Rail-
rond Of Illinois, and open to our grain, cattle
and pork products, Toledo and a competing
market. Had We such a connection our wheat
,xoo1d bring us 1oc60l5c m.re per bushe1. md
