The four grain eloyatora until recently con-
ttollea by DIunn & Scott, will pass undor tho
auctioneor'a hammer on Friday noxt, by virtue
Of tho proceedings in bankruptcy against tho

tho Court not recognizing tho aale to Goo. ARM
our Co.
Tho cars that arrived in this city yesterday,
loaded with grain, would mako q continuous
train Of nearly 1251S miles in length, without
counting engines or tenders. And this dooH not
include tho nearly 1G0, 900 bu received bY canal,
which would swell tho total to II miles If loaded
into cars.
Tho loading produce markets were quite active
to-day, and tho principal breadstulra wero all
Teak-unuanAlly 30. Tho receipts sEore not 80
largo es heretofore, though largo enough In all
conscience, while tho Eastorn markets xcro
firmor; but anotler material advance iu freight
rates widenea tho cost Of transportation much
moro than the equivalent of increased prices ut
the East. Addod to this was tho knowledge Of
tho fact that our gratn In store is increasing ut
rapid rate, tho oxceaH Of receipts over shipmonta
beinG ], ,694, 727 bn last week, and not far from
700, 200 bu yesterday. This increases tho amount
OF money necessary to bo employed In carrying
grain, and makes it relatively scarce, 80 that
those WHO ore already loaded arc unable to buy
moro, and tho market sage uhlor tho intensified
competition nnong sellers.
Tho dry-gools market presented quito IN anl-
matod appearance, both the local and tho interior

Tho last named fact pointB to partial ex-
PLANTATION OF tho recent rapid advance. bIilwau-
kae operators have sod large Quantities Of wl,cat

room therefor, they are practically at tho mercy
Of cauao1a, being Obliged to pay whatever is do.
