GRAIN AND BREaDsTUFFs.

Two carloads of oats were shipped to-day to
Shreveport, which embraced nearly all the bus
mess transactions in grain in this city. The re-
ceipts were larger, both of corn and oats, than
usual which were taken readily by dealers. The
orders being receiv. d here for grain are beyond
the ability of dealers to fill at the moment, but
our operators are making extraordinary exer-
tons. and they will no doubt accommodate the
requirements of their CORES pondents. Prices
are very firm, and all the grain offered is eagerly
taken. our quotations are reliable.
