The question Of advancing the rates of storage
to lc bushel for every FIVE days or part thereof,
after the 18th OF November next, is under discus
SION by the elevator men, but they are divided in
their opinion, and no definite action has vet haen

shipped out before the close of navigation, such
step may not be necessary
The above statement from the warehousemen
caused dull and heavy feeling in Grain, and in
their desire to realize, sellers submitted to q ma
