STREET RAILWAY EXTENSIONS. The street railway track in Clayk street from Randolpls to Twelfih is now complete. A track is yet to be Iaid in T'welfth street from Clark to State. This will be done soms time this spring, and whon completed tho State strcet horsc-cars will turn off into'Clark at Twelfth strcet and run north to Randolph. If it wero not for the dog-in-the-manger policy of some_of tho Clark siraot property-ownors, the much-neoded con- nection with the North Sido railways conld then be mads over Clark street bridge. - Another instance of opposition to streot rail- w238 comes up in the expression of o mecting of Sonth Halstad stroct proporiy-owners. 1t is proposed to widen Halsted street south of Archer aveouo to o uniform width of 80 fect. This is well enough, and would undoubtedly add to the value of the property fronting on it. But for some reason, or waut of reason, the con- struction of a street roilway on Halsted streot from_ Archer avenue to the Stock Yards i8 op~ posed, though it is altogether probablo that this would add more to the value of tho property thau the widening of the strect.

The Mauchostor Eraminer, Feb. 18, hae the following reviow of tho English grain trade : “T'he grain trade ruled dull thronghout the past sweek, and thero was rather a tendoncy toward lower ratesin boththe lesding English aud Beotch markets. Prices were difficalt to sup- port for whu:&i though a slight concession brought forws urchasers to a fair extent. Millers had supplied themselvos forn short period forward, and could only be_induced to Oporate at some farther sdvantage in rogerd to rices. . Supplies have not been large, but they v been amply sufficient to meet the very moderate demands of the trsde, which have been confined fo immediate requirements. At present thero i8 no prospect of any rise in the Qquotations; indeed, the tendencyis rather the other way, though it may be presumed thereally & nglish wheat will, in consequence of ita scarcity, continne to command high prices. Tho weatlicc bas improved, and farmers are got~ ting their land in order for spring operations, but labor is very backward 80 far, and much de- pends upon the character of the weather whether the lost ground can be recovered. It is not too much to say that, take the Kingdom through-~ out, there ia & falling off of mot less than 25 per cont in the extent of land placed under wheat cultivation, as com- pared with the average of years, s large area baving remaiped unsown in consequence of the unfayorable sesson. In Scotland, the ex- tont of land ungowm is greater than this, and in England less ; but we believe a decreass of 25 Per cent to be a fair 1epresentation of the state of affairs at the time of writing. Conscquently holders do not show any auxioty to sell, while buyers expect somo decline in_consequence of the libes lup%laflllrusflyrucaiv&lunnpmlga from abrosd. From & consumer’s point of view, the outlook is, on the whole, favorable.
