The gold market to-day was fevcrish and unset
tled-openfug early at $50, then declining to 1853,
md again advancing to 155. Such was the state OF
the market this forenoon, and the influence On
produce was decidedly unfarorable. The dispoai-
tion to invest III wheat, corn, &C., manifested yes
terday, gave place to-day to a dull 4nd languid
feeling, and there was more disposition to sell
tlan to bug. The consequence Of all this is that
NC have to note decline greater than yesterdays
advance.
The demand for wheat was very light, and under
the influence Of gold, prices fell a9c per bushe1-
with snles Of winter receipts No. Spring At $t.16

mails and railroads has been of ras beneat to Of
tho Weet. Now let us try to work together and &C.
cure that further c1tensIon-or cnlargetnent-of
tho system which both sections NEED, and need
alike, for 1t is OF interest to Us to get produce
TO the seAtoard aB quickly and ss chcaply as posa

that this be done. To aid In this direction, I de-
sire to say something about ou1 rail commuuica-
tion.
During the ecason OF navigation VIC are to1ersbly
well supplied with transit routes. We havo all o.
the roads, and in addition, a1l the water routes,
aud by a1l Of them IN immense amount OF produce
is shipped at-on an ayernSe-a not very high rate
Of freight. Brt use these routcs now to their
full capacity, We must increase them as our crops
increase In the season when navigation Is Closed
NC are dependent upon onr roads, and "hatesee
we may find to complain OF in the summer N ''e
winter no find ten times more. And the canse OF
co,nr,,,nt Ia not the ercedineas Of railroad man-
.gora en much as the fact that there Is more pro-
dr.. than the roads can take away. ANY person
rbo hns 1,een shipper Of freight for the past Two
..,rt.,a will tell ron this. Supply and demand
control the price OF frcights as we'll as OF every

dcd with the managers Of any road in which no
hail an interest, IT they did Iot study this law.
Our roads hsyc carried freight the last two
winters to their full capacity, and ret have been
otlivet. to refuec as much as they have carried
awny. Every shipper knows that lie cared less for
the rate charged than that the freight be taken.
The CRY has often been: ~ don't care what you

price" Well now. under these circumstances, are
