The better class of milch cows were wanted and sold quickly, but the cheaper kinds were quiet in tone, and did not bring as comparatively good prices as the others.

A New York despatch says: At a. meeting of the traffic managers of the trunk lines on Wednesday a rc- ducticn of one cent a bushel on grain from Bun'alo to New York was au- thorized, to take elTect September 16th. This will~bring the rate down to 4 cents for Wheat, 3% cents for corn, 3 cents for oats, and 3% cents for barley. The reduction is the reâ€" sult of protests by New York grain merchants against high rates current to this port, which were, it was claimed, forcing the bulk of grain exports through Gulf ports and Canâ€" ada. The reductions were largely in the nature of a compromise. and will expire October 15th. The new rates apply to Boston and Philadela phia. as Well as New York.
