For several years tho tendency of tratle haa
been to mako Chicago d grain market, in
stead Of grain warehouse, whence grain was
sent to Now York to be sold on account. The
time hns beon when tho grain and -four aud
to Eastern markets TO bo sold on account of
shippers in Cllicago. The provision trade,
however, passed beyond that point several
years ago, md Chicago is now tho market
where those who want to buy provisions
como with their money, md directly or
through brokers mako their purchases, Tho
samo change Is rapidly taling place in
tho grain tradc. Tho shipments from
Clicngo to DO sold on account Of
shippers arc gradually diminishing, md
this city is becoming tho market in
which purchases are to ba made. Tho time
Inns gone by when there was but one market
for brcailstuls. Montreal, Boston, Philadel-
phia, and Baltimore, lavo beco,ne ports for
tho export Of grain; each Of these cities las
foreign trnlo, with regular lines Of stcam-
era. Each Of these cities haa become lnrge
purchasers, and naturally como to Chicago

| hero. Tho grain trado, therefore, instead Of
Leing mere shipment henco on account Of
shipper, il settling down, like tho provision
| trade, into permanent market here. The
capital necessary to handle the grain products
Of the Northwest is concentrating here
and increasing rapidly, and the ttmo, il
not lar distant when brcsdstulFs will

Tho New York Tribune gives the distance

MECKLENBuR0 AND A14AMAHCE,

North Carolina will not give up her beltcf
in tho authenticity Of tho b1ecklonburg
Declaration Of Independence. Tho moro it
is attacked, tho moro 1t is dofonded. Nobody
In the State has shred of respect for Tuos1As
JRErRnsoN loft, and the native presa quotes
the two Destinations in parallel columns to
show how tho Philadelphia ons is p1agiarizcd
from tho other,-oblvious, apparently, OF the
fact that tho only thing proved is plagiarism,
and that this would moro naturally be attrib-
uted to the Meolslenburgers Of century ago
than to JEF7Ensoa. A recent writer, Gen.
BnAp1Er T. JOHNSON. tries to strengthen tho
dubious clnima Of tho North Carolina screed
by asserting TINT the resolutions wero drawn
up by Dr. ErunA1M BnEyAnp, graduate Of
Princeton College that they were dis
discussed during whole night by tho
Regulators" and unanimously adopt
cd on the morning Of Nay 20,
1775; md that they wero proclaimed in tho
morning by Col TuoxAa Polk. All this gives
m mir Of circumstantiality TO tho story, but
1t Is nero assertion. Moreover, Gen. JoHH-
soa giyea = now version Of the resolutions.
Tho evidence against tho authenticity of tho
Mccklonburg Declaration, which we reviewed
fov days since, Ia almost conclusive. It is
announced, however, that papers in the En-
glish archives at London show that tho British
Government received tho alleged Declaration
long before JE9rEaaos laid his draft before
tho Continental Congress-. II theae papors
really exist, they should be diHintonod FORTH

at any rato. This is just a. well. The more
