Withdrawn from store yesterday for city con-
sumption 1,4s8 bu wheat, 2,022 bu corn;
6,824 bu oats; 2,257 bu rye; 1858 .bu barley.
The following grain has been inspected into
store this morning, up to 10 o'clock: 265 cars
wheat; 1888 cars and 6,200 bu corn 70 cara
and 1000 bu oats cars rye and Ito cars bar
ley. Total (639 cars), 265, 900 bu.
The great sensation in grain circles to-day was
the threatened embargo on the movement along
the Erie Canal, in consequence OF the preVa-
lence Of the horse disesse in New York State.
All along the line Of the canal the horses are re-
ported to BE- dying by hundreds, and the owners
Of valuable animals are sending them away to
other parts of the country fast as possible, to
save them from tho dreaded disease. The con-
sequence is that horses cannot be procured to
do the towing On the canal; and it is feared
that thers will be q dearth OF transportation
facilities by water, through to the close
Of navigation. Freights from Buffalo are
now 16c on wheat and l4c on corn, and it is
expected that they will so much higher ere TIE
close OF the season. The recent improvements
in steam towing on the canal have not been in
troduced extensively enough to materially Affect
the supply in case the animal towing power
should fail az it now threatens to do, and the
consequence can scarcely be other than vast
increase in the demand for rail freights, that
may result in radical advance on present high
rates. The occurrence Of the horse disease is
especially to be regretted at the present time,
when the farmers scarcely OBTAIN enough Tor
it to the station. II fre;ghts should so much
higher, they would do better to keep their grain
at home than to give it away for nothing.
THE MARKETS.
The leading produce markets we're generally
strong to-day, and more active, notwithstand-
ing the difficulty in transportation on the Erie
Canal, which has been partially made amends
for by drop in lake freights- The movement
WAS entirely q speculative reaction from long
dravn-out weakness, which has resulted in ma
terally reducing our receipts, especially Of corn
and oats. Without some improvement in prices
re can scarcely avoid extreme dullness IN
the produce trade during the coming ,Winter-
The demand for groceries was only moderately
actye and former prices were unchanged. Choice
and fancy ccffees continue scarce, but otherwise
stocks are in good working order. In the dry
goods market activity still prevails. Butter and
cheese are moving to 3 liberal extent ct yester-

. Highwines we're quiet but firm at the advance
gained yesterday. 4 total Of $50 brls Vas sold
at e8<c per gallon, and that price WAS bid at the
close, with $50 asked.
Lake fraights we're quiet and steady st the re-
duced rates reached yesterday afternoon, at 15c
for corn to Buffalo, and 22s@c for DO to oswego,
both bv sail. Wheat to Buffalo vas nominal at
l6c. Through rates to Boston On corn we're
quoted at $50, and to Portland Mt s6c. Wheat to
Kingston shout TIC. The weakness was owing
to fear On the part Of shippers. that they
would not be able to forward tie grain from the
vessel to the seaboard. 4 total of 8 charters
was reported, including yesterday afternoon,
which will carry out 190, 900 bu corn and &c, 900
bu barley.
Provisions were quiet, and irregular. Mess
pork was in fair demand for future delivery, and
butte 5rn, the more deferred options being
quoted stronger, while holders of cash lots were
steady at the advance noted yesterday. It Was
remarked that the holders Of the cash pork now
in stock here are the men who are buying up the
new pork for future delivery and Some sur.
