GRAIN TRADE. New York is rejecting

which amounted in 1868 to - ,00O, 900 bushels
was only jG, 900 600 bushels in 1869. As most
OF this grain reaches New York eventually, thi:

several reasons ior this loss to New York la
the first place. the grain centre is moving west
ward. St. Louis is growing city. Chicago
feels it, and the erection Of grain elevators ut
ST.. Louis and at New Orleans, atiUrIing facilities
for cheap and rapid handling, are having the

PUNCH Ga the Alcoholic Compound term
cd Punch by John I'nd-ll, LII. d.. +, R. s.,
the folIowing extract from an article with the
above tit'c, in Exeter Change, is Il capital imi
tation Of Professor 'ryndaI's STYLE
"Experment has proved that the juice Of
three or tour lemons, and three quarters OF Il
pound of LOAF sugar dissolved in about three
pints Of boiling water, give saporous waves
which strike the palate ut such intervals that
the thrilling acidity OF the lemonjuice and the
closing sweetness Of the sugar are no longer
tisinguishab!c We have, in fact, 4 harmony
OF aoporiGc notes The pitch, however, is too
low ana to heighten it we inluse in the boil
ing water the fragrant yellow rnd OF one lemon.
Here We might pause, il the soul OF men era
we'd no higher result than lemonade. But, to
obtain the eliminating saporosty of punch,
We must dash into the bowl at least a pint Of
rum and nearly the same volume Of brandy
The molecules Of alcohol, sugar, and citric acid,
collide, and Hi entirely new series OF vibrations
j. rroducel-tremors to which the dulIest
palate Is aituncd. In punch, then, We have
rhy thin within rhythm, and all that philosophy
can do is to take kindly to its subtle harmonies.
1t will depend, 10 :lmu measure, upon pre-
vou' habits, whether HE punch when miyed
will be taken 10 rXcrsS or IN moderation. 1t
mny become dangerous ally Of gravity aud
bring snntieut being To the gutter. But, Oh
TIC other hand, it may become the potent in
