WHAT BEcoMEa OF THE CORN,

In tho heated discussions which are taking
place concorulng tho ratios Of transportation,
rccnrronco to ccrtain established facts may bo
OF advantage. It iB assumed to be tha fact that
tho cost Of transporting corn and wheat and 9TH
or gratpa ovor ordinary wagon.roads is 20 conts
per ton per milo. Wheat is computed at GO and
corn nt &c pounds per buahel. 30 long au corn
can be sold for rs cent? por buHhol, It can bo
moved 1875 niloh the yaluo to the owner dimin-
iahing each mile, until II coases At l25 miles.
At that distance, tho cost OF transportation
equals tic valuo OF the corn. Wheat sclling at
$3.50 per bushel nlny be moved by the same
means $50 miles, whom tic cost OF its trans
portation reacheH lta value. Theso distances,
therefore, ara tho limits within which
corn and wheat may be transported by
thu ordinary wagons. The establishment Of

Brown Sheetings quiet, and the transactions
from first hands have been limited, prices how
ever, have been fairly sustained and the stocks
are not excessive. The better grades OF Bleached

we hear of an advance of ~ cent. The lower
grades are dull and prices favor the buyer.

show an increase in business over that of the pre-
