1ieyed that there is no corn in tho country. arc
now opening their eyes to the fact that plenty
is coming u from somewhere, and it il known
that there is q great deal yet to come forward.
There is no doubt that the crop WAS short, bnt,
in view Of anticipated high prices, tho farmers
saved all they could, feeding out wheat and
oats to their stock instead Of corn. Then tho

st. Louis cent 124 cars Of wheat here to-day:
we suppose on its way to Liverpool ria New
Orleans. Tho Grim Association is evidently
hnrd at work, and determined TO eclipse its
previous record, at the same time that it will
eclipse Chicago. It il good thing for St.
Lonis that it is always able to find q market
here for its grain, whether New Orleans wants
it or not.
We notice that the cost Of sending LOO lbs of
ccfn from Champaign, in this State, to Chi
cago, and to Toledo, is just the same,-beine
2cc In each case Being able to put it down
eco miles nearer the seaboard for the same
money that it costs TO send it here, there is no
aoIdcr that the farmers Of Central Illinois are
NOT sending their corn hitherward; it is ali 90
ing 10 Toledo.
There ia better prospect now that our &C.
cu1nnlations Of wheat will 60 forward, as the
margin against the shipper is smaller now
than fcI some time past. High prices arc very
eccd things for holders, but it il not we'll to
rDn up Iices 60 high that people canuot afford
to buy. It is much to be desired that Chicago
and New York would r11n little more closely
together in prices Our grain ought to bo
moved out, so as to make room for tho winter
accumulation.
The prospects for the crops arc eyerywhore
reported as excellent, Tho Indications aro
that lllinois will give plenteons yield, md
that the other Northwestern States will be- fully
up to tho average. The San francisco Market
