This has been a poor grain market for the past
two weeks. owing to the fact there has been such
large quantities OF live stock TO ship that the rail
road company could not transport both grain and
stock, and have given the preference to stock.
This pressure Of stock will doubtless be removed
before long and then grain can easily be handled
and the market revive
The recent storm hns delayed shipments Of ey-
erything, causing shippers TO order for stock
at Platteyille causing lively use ofthe telephone
at this place.
