Augusta grocers and grain dealers are
getting excited over the advance in price OF
wheat, corn and oats. One firm in this city
(Messrs. Parrot & Chase) is reported to have
made clean 81, 900 by the rise. Mr.. Oscar
Holway, one of our brainiest business men,
and who is in the grain trade in large way
in Augusta and Auburn, is now in the West
on a business trip. The short crop of wheat
and the prospective failure of the corn crop
have been taken advantage ofby the syndicates
that now control these articles to give prices
a rapid start upward. Mr.. John Lyons of
Chicago and others of large resources now
hold the entire visible supply of oats, and
are sellers only at extreme ppices A
syndicate also controls the corn mar
ket, and another the pork market.
The price of No. white oats is now % cents
a bushel in Boston, while last year at this
time it was 43 cents, a difference of II cents
per bushel. Corn sells by the car load in
Boston at 60 and 20 cents, which is just IA
cents higher than at this time last year.
Flour has not been affected much as yet by
these speculative movements. In some in
stances an advance of 121 to 25 cents per
barrel is asked for choice brands, but it is
evident that -four mnst go higher.

The grand exposition of the New England
Manufacturers and Mechanics Institute,
opened in Boston, yesterday. The edifice in
which the fair is held is situated on Hunting
ton avenue, and is the largest permanent
exposition building in the United States Its
ground floor covers an area of ) acres
while the broad galleries, which border its
four inner walls, add 3 acres more for the
use of exhibitors. And yet, so great is the
demand for space by the numerous exhibitors,
it is found necessary to add annexes to the
main building. A better idea of the build
ings size may possibly be conceived by the
general reader, when it is known that the seat
ing capacity of one hall is over 100, OOpersons.
The building will be lighted with so electric
lights, and POO gas burners have been pro-
vided in case the fluid gets to cutting ''capers.
Yankee genius is known the world over, and
in every quarter of the globe can be found
the fruits of its labor but it is reserved for
the Manufacturers and Mechanics Institute
to gather the varied productions of ''muscle
and brains" under one spacious roof, and
present them to the people in grand
panoramic display of industries. We advise
all Kennebec county people who visit Boston
to certainly ''take in this great Exposition.
