board. The canal delivered at New-York
during last week more grain than the com.
bned deliveries by the railroads at New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The receipts at Philadelphia exceeded the receipts
by railroads at New-York; Baltimore was only
$4,000 bushels behind. and Boston 100000 less
than the railroad deliveries at New-YOrk Thess
important facts for digestion by those who talk
about the Immense" business of the railroads
leading into New-York. AT Buffalo the receipts
by lake fell off from those of the previous
week about 100000 bushels. and those by rall.
road go 900 bushels; while the shipments thence by
canal increased 460 900 bushels and by the railroads
62.OOO bushels, as compared with the previous
week. The receipts at Chicago show a
decline from the previous week of 55s,OO0
1877 Of $4,000 bushels. At Milwaukee the
receipts show loss Of $4,000 bushels from the
first week of this month, and loss of $4,000 from
The same week of 1877 This last item indicates
that the earnings of the Chicago Milwaukee and
ST. Paul Railroad for the second week Of October
will show comparative decline of over $10j, 900.
The shipments from the two Western ports
last week were t. 145 900 bushels (threefOurths by
water, against 100000 bushels for the preceding
week. In connection with this subject, as affecting
the business of the railroads during the coming
Winter the comparative quantity OF grain in store
at New-fork becomes Important.
