Thus low railroad rates have given to the News
York roads a greater business than they had in
1875 but that has not made up the loss of deliveries
by the water routes; and the receipts at New-York
show a decline of 1,O67, 0s1 bushels, while Balti-
more and Philadelphia gained S,611, G24 bushels.
These are interesting figures, but they should not
be satisfactory to New-York merchants. The move.
ments from the West to the seaboard continue large
and last week the canal at Buffalo secured tho
Greater portion OF the shipments from that port.
The receipts by lake were 100000 bushels moro
than those by the railroads.
