the same six months of 1879 New-York has gained
8445,715 bushels while the other three ports have
lost g. "a, 1865 bushels OF the deliveries at New
York, the canal this year delivered 11,225024
bushels more than it did last year, and
all the railroads 2,702,213 bushels less
than they did last year. At Buffalo the deliveries by
lake vessels since the opening of navigation have
been "a 1l2 $50 bushels than to the same date
last year and the railroad deliveries for the same
time show a gain of 2571.550 bushels. The ship
ments from Buffalo eastward to date this year by the
canal have been 1887. s3l bushels more than in
1879, and during the same time from the opening
of navigation) the railroads have gained 6811 $40
bushels But it should be remembered that navIga-
ton this year opened from two to three weeksear-
lier than it did last year. At Chicago the receipts
