GRAIN AND BREApsTUFrs.


The receipts OF grain In this city to-day
were far from being heavy, and all that ar
rived was taken by retail dealers. Shippers
are anxious to receive even small amounts
to fill orders from abroad,
but IL is almost impossible
with them to secure car load OF any par
ticular kind, and they find II imperative
upon them to order from Kansas and Mis-.
souri,. There is no possibility of an advance
In prices, for they are now above n parity
with those OF other states, and If any change
takes place 1t will be for lower figures.
