and the latter $500 900. The aggregate ex-
ports of domestic bresdstuns from the five
ports of Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
New Orleans and San Francisco were only

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER MOVEMENT.
MT l,p, hot
the movement OF grain down the river TO New
Orleans has Increased from $4,000 bushels TO
l5,7G2,t6i in lsSO. There are also i've barge line
companies operating from vt. Louis, having in
the aggregate l6 tow-boats and 1903 berges, with
capacity ori 1858, 900 bushels, and being able
easily to deliver at New OrleGHs 1873, 900
bushels grain per mouth. Besides the barges
now hlat and In active service, there are
building ID barges of Ga, 600 bushels capacity
each for the ST. Louis 4 New Orleans transpor-
tatlon company; . for the American transpor.
tation company and 0 for the Mississippi V. Il.
Co. When these barges are completed the
capacity will be about 800, 900 per month. 1t
Is also stated that the Ut. Louis elevators re-
ceiyed $1,000, l2s bushels grain in lssO
against 23,7l7,6i2 in ls70, and that the
capacity Of the elevators at st, Louis Is now
5,6j0,JO bushels, while there ara five more I'M
der construction with an aggregate capacity
of 3, 900 900 bushels. The Iron Mountain and
Illinois Central railroads are also building elo-
vators at Belmont and Cairo.
TIE PROSPECT
While the movement Of grain from the west
to the seaboard has been very liberal, yet the
foreign movement has remained rather mac.
tive and the exports continue moderate. Even
the unusually low ocean freight rates ruling Of
late lave stimulated shipments but little. A
more active export movement Will, however,
In all probability be developed very shortly.
The outlook for the summer wheat trade ap.
pears very strong, and the lateness of the har-
vest, both In America and Europe, will throw
u much larger consumptiye demand
upon the crops Of 1850 than had been expected
What this increased demand Will reach II Ia
rather difficult TO estimate, but the amount
will hardly be less than 10, 100000 TO 10, 100000
bushels, and may so beyond that, ii the new
crop Is not ready for shipment before the latter
part OF August. European have the wheat
ami The United States is the only country
which has that amount ready to fill the der,
and, looking at the SUBJECT in this light, there
are good reasons for believing that our surplus
VIII nnd market at moderately full prices
thus cleaning out all our old stock and begin
ming airesh with the new crop
