GRAIN TRAFFIC.

Crop reports from the Northwestern States, in that
section of country drained by the lines of the Chicago
and Northwestern and Milwaukee and ST Paul roads,
thus far quite favorable and the wheat harvest at
latest dates progressing rapidly, with every prob
ability of large yied. With good weather for few
days in that section there every to look
for heavy grain traffic during the coming autumn.
The production Of anthracite coal for the last
July, about $4,000 tons, is probably the maximum
capacity of the anthracite regions We conclude this to
bo the from the fact that the miners always make
the largest in the week which closes the payroll
and the mines in all the regions in operation If
this rate of production be maintained for the
mander of the year the supply will equal that of 1874
1t is not generally believed however, that the market
will require that amount, and it is probable there will
be large surplus stock to be carried into year.
