Lake freights were quiet and unchanged,
with little more disposition on the part of
owners 70 insist on higher quotations. but no
Change in rates except on whcat; and tho

RED at Csc to Philadelphia; 75c to New York !:
and 65c to Boston. Fourth claes are quoted
at one-hHlf these rates por 100 Tbs.
We note 8 continued demand for vessels to
cary wheat from Milwaukee. where it is going
in large quantities., attracted chiefly by tho
lower rates of storage. The msjority Of our
warehousemen seem 10 be satisfied that reduc-
ton IS absolutely necessary, but one or two
ure not willing to accedo to it, and they are so
strongly bound together that it is difficult for
one to move ont OF concert with the rest. The
charges Of 2515lc per bushel for soren months'
storage on sound grain, and 49c for unsound
grain for the same time, are simply outrageous.
We nre aware that the warehousemen urge thst
the principal reason for Hdhe1ing to the pres
n j
owners cannot afford to hold it here during
The summer; but very sufficient answer to
this is the statement that warehouses are Of
little use, except as they enable grain owners
to hold or to their property till they can sell
to the best advantage:
Provisions were qniet, but with u ittlo moro
