wheat and -four, well free in bond, and aHoat;
large speculative investments in the latter article

supplies thence-the appearance Of agents for con-
linentsl houses, buying for France, Belgium, and
Holand---these ceuscs have had the effect Of
rapid advance in prices, not only for actual and inn
mediate consumption, but lstteriy, on speculation.
