The receipts of grain in this city to-day

Ia A postal was received at this Office to-day
from grain dealer in Plano stating the
HERALD's quotations on oats were too high,
aud offering to ship here fifty cars at prices
given A reporter of the HERALD at once
called on couple Of the prominent grain
dealers in this city, and they authorized
him to say that oats were quoted correctly
at from % to 90 cents, and that they would
pay % cents for fifty cars of choice oats de

quotations are correct, and particular pains
are taken to have them so at all times. In

III. b, Rathbun h Sons, at Deseronto,
Ontario, have chemical works attached TO
their great mill which convert the wastage,
such as sawdusl and otherwise worthless
refuse, into a,eCic acid. wood, alcohol and
tar. Now the works are to be enlarged so
as to utilize the bi-product, charcoal, in
making gunpowder and Illuminating gas.
The Northwestern Lumberman thinks this
is step toward profitable use of saw-mill
waste that other lumber manufacturers
would do well to initiate.
Georgia now leads all other states in the
