from their long slumber, and are man
itesting some desire to secure the rich
grain trade of the Northwest, our

days ago the steamer Imperial left for
that point with $4,000 bushels Of
wheat, and later, two barges loaded
with 10000 bushels of wheat-all
from this market-departed for the
same point, and still heavier shipments,
we learn, will follow soon. This
movement is in the highest degree en-
couraging 1t shows that the pro
