The Santa Rosa. due to-day from south
ern ports. has 20, 600 sacks OF wheat. which
will be discharged at the seawall. While
great stacks of grain still remain at the
sheds, the glut complained of ten days ago
is much relieved. and bags are being re-
moved as fast as new ones arrive. Ii is
thought the present sheds will easily &C
commodate whatever grain may arrive
the remainder of the season from coast
ports.

has about made up its mind to shed
over 500 or 600 feet more of the seawall In
time for next seasons crop. They hold
that it is their duty to furnish accommo-
dation for as much wheat as possible on
this side of the bay, and save costs OF
tolls to the producer.
