Business in a general Way was brightened up a Little to Day but presented no feature. Flour had a firmer Market and in some cases was hold for a further Advance but none was practically established.

New is mostly sold by Sample and graded conventionally so that it is not easy to apply quotations fairly. Such As was ranked in this Way As no. 1 red Winter sold at $1 8631 90, and no. 2 at $1 80. It is remarked that the offerings of so far have mostly been indifferent in Quality. The York Tribune under Date of the 25th, gives the following report of the Grain Market a there has been a fair degree of activity in our Market for wheat the past week the less favourable news from Europe has checked the Export demand but with a further Advance in Gold and in flour our Millers have purchased More freely of using prices on tuesday and wednesday to improve but the later and less favourable news from Europe have checked this inquiry for Spring and the improvement has since been lost but Winter has steadily advanced owing to limited arrivals. Our present Stock of wheat is moderate about 620,000 Bush rather More than half of it Winter. This is moderate and we Are Likely to close the month of August with a very Light Stock of a plug and a moderate Supply of we inter and receipts of have been much below the general expectation and the Quality is not As Good As we had reason to anticipate much of it is foul this greatly insures its Sale. At the close the Market is irregular. Spring is somewhat lower though fairly Active for milling purposes while for Winter prices Are firmer. The sales Are 29,000 Bush at $1 95 for no. L Chicago Spring in store ii 85 for no. 2 Chicago Spring in store 12 75 for White californian $2 60 for White Michigan 12 35 for White Canadian,2 56 �2 70 for White Southern and 2 3532 47 for Amber . A Indian Corn has been fairly Active though the business has been largely confined to that in store owing to the detention of boats on the canal. For want of water they can not be moved. Now this it appears to us is culpable neglect on the part of our canal commissioners whose duty it is to see that the canal is kept in navigable order. This detention can not fail to be of serious injury to parties having Grain on the canal As it is quite certain to spoil. View Little of that to hand since our last Lias been fit to ship hence we have a wide Range in prices. The business for Carport hns proved moderate a indeed it could not be otherwise As the bulk of the in store is unfit for shipment. To Day the Market was about la bettor Aud in fair demand for the local Trade. The inquiry for Export is restricted by the Curren High prices and the limited offerings the sales Are 52,500 in hat 11 07�1 12 for Damp and unsound Western mixed at ii 12 $ 31 14 Small lots at Railroad depot at 11 15 White Western at $1 20h, and Western yellow at 1 20.

The amended bankrupt Law Cincinnati july 28, 1868. To the editor of the commercial the amendment to the bankrupt Law As passed by the Senate last saturday is an outrage a fraud on the honest Industry of the country. Congress has not for Many Yean made a Law that has operated with More damaging effect to the Meroa Tlle interests of the country than will this Law As amended last week. It seems to me that if our senators and representatives were sent to Washington to legislate ostensibly in the interests of thieves and rogues they could not succeed better than they have done in this instance. What is a bankrupt Lawf it is a Relief that ought not to be granted More than Onee in one generation and then As in the present instance Only after the nation has passed through a War or in times of a great financial crisis. The object of the Law As passed by Congress More than a year ago was to give Relief to individuals who were hopelessly in debt at that time. It provided for lifting the Load off the shoulders of All who were involved so deeply As to be unable to extricate themselves and to take advantage of this Relief they were Given a whole year from june 1,1867, to june 1,1868. It was very naturals supposed that a years time was sufficient by debtor to file his petition and gain his Relief and failing to so in that time he was expected to pay fifty per cent of his indebtedness if he wanted the Benefit of the Law. This was proper except that i think the time was too Long in the first place. Six months would have been sufficient for All honest men who were hopelessly involved to get their discharge but Congress gave them a year which was More than ample and the same body have extended the time till the 1st of next january. To say that it is wrong is drawing it mild it is simply outrageous. The occasions Are rare in the history of any government that a ratify a general bankrupt Law and then such should Only provide for the Relief of persons who at the time of the passage of the act Are hopelessly involved. Suon a Law should never provide a Relief for future indebtedness it is offering a Premium to Rasca Lity it is saying to adventurers a buy borrow go in debt speculate to your hearts Content Aud if you fail you shall not suffer you need not Lay under a Load of debt no matter incurred or when the Law will wipe it out and give you the sturdy old puritanical doctrine of paying for what you but ought to be impressed of the minds not Only of the Young Ana rising generation but upon All of us old and Young. Let our people know that if they run in debt they must pay the score or suffer the consequences and we would see less of the High handed Rasca Lity that has marked us As a people for the last few years. A a. W. S. Clerks and eight hours. Cincinnati july 28,1868. To the editor of the commercial by publishing the following you will be gratefully remembered by Many a dry goods clerk.
