GRAIN AND FLOUR.

The receipts of grain to-day have In
fair for "Christmas week, " and the su lily
was fully equal to the demand. More ", at
was on the market than for several Co.'S rs
before, and prices were firm, one ot
selling rs high as 100. Corn was Off red
very freely and sold at regular prices.
The local demand for.corn is light, and the
shipments abroad were confined to one car
load. Oats is in demand at our quotations
for export.
The amount of grain shipped from this
city to other States will no doubt astonish
many of our own citizens. One of our heav-
lest grain-dealers, and a reliable gentleman,
informed us to-day that his firm had shipped
this season $50 carloads of oats to Memphis,
Shreveport, Atlanta, Macon and other
Southern cities, ana that he had orders to
ii as rapidly as he could purchase the
grain. He expressed the opinion that
the grain in the country surrounding
was being rapidly, exhausted, and
that receipts in future would be
ers have shipped heavily west and south,
and from all we can gather, our supplies Of
grain have been greatly in excess of the
general estimates.
There will be for the next two months
demand for seed oats, and a number OF or
ders have already been received in this city
from all over the State for this purpose.
Good corn for seed will no doubt command
a ready sale and good price in the early
spring months.
