threaten to affect the traffic OF the railroads
,.r;rc the coming Winter months. According TO
ho circular letter OF John A. Hambleton IT Noyen-
- the baltimore elevators. the total capacity OF
,rbich is 100000 bushels. then held 2.2O9.6fo
,rsbels of wheat and 500 900 bushels of corn. The
.aDac,ty of the Ncw-NorS elevators is about
1000 900 bushels On Saturday, November
there were in store 6,457,sl2 bushels of
s,beat against 250,243 bushels for the
same date in 1878; and Of other grains,
4 OS9 $50 bushels against 6S5i.66i ; total ~ al
grai this year, 1O497, o62, AGAINST 1l,lO59O.
~ ISIS and 6.273.s-i3 at the same date of 1877.
Bnt IN addition 10 his total there were atioat III
canal boats in New-lofk haibor last Saturday
about 100000 bushels of grain, and on
the canals bound to Underwater there were
zoos. 600 bushels thus the quantity of gram this
siue OF Butfalo-noi counting that on the railways
lat SATURDAY. was equal 10 New loIks capacity Tor
storage. Speculation has advanced the price
of wheat TO great extent that ex-
ports have manly ceased and probably Will
the decline which has begun, reaches much lower
figures than those prevailing at present However
much Europe may rqlre lem our surP,is, a. E VIZ
acknowledge that there are figures at which EuroPr
will be compelled To make half loaf do the duty OF
Whole one. Speculation seems to have found
those figures
The occurrence of election dav makes the week

of grain day short: therefore comparison either
with the preceding week or the corresponding week
of last year would noe be fair test But II So
slightly affects the movement of the year that the

The stock speculation to-day after a rather
brilliant opening proved TO be tame The lack of
buovant feeling, when compared with the prevalent
temper OF the last few days, was marked-so marked
thai ia a majority OF cases the final prices snow
declines from those OF Monday night ranging
from u 10 per cent. The total .uslness recorded
was 80, 10 shares, against 3d.. 519 Monday. Erie
was the most active. 50 far amount OF sales was
concerned-recordiDg transactions amounting to
active stocks. The first price was CO.'S.
followed by decline to 40 later
against 4O3i Monday night. The other trunk Inc
shares closed either with decline or with prices
barely sustained. Among the granger stocks those
OF Chicago, Milwaukee and 81 Paul were the strong
