It is only fair to dudi altere1n 17artetn; and
while swindlcs, actua1 or attempted, on tho
grain-s1ipping community should be merciless-
IL exposed, there is equal roason for noting
cases in which they try to take unfair advantage.
A car load of wheat arrived here to-day from
Iowa, which weighed ST Tbs per bu ut the top,
while that near tho bottom only weighed 531S
ths per bu. II the shipper expected that the
whole CARLOAD would be inspected IS belonging
to tho lowest grade, he will not be disappointed

to-day all being rnther quiet, except corn, while
several were decidedly slow. Tie receipts of
produce were rather more iboral, with finer
weather, and the shipments continue small, ex-
copt in meats aud provisions, while several
rather large operators wero anxious to unload.

departments, md made others sluggish.

goods trede, particularly in the staple cotton and
dress goods departments, and the fr1nness
