We tave rarely met with anything so grand, sono- le, snd—if we may bo allowed the cxpression— 50 nice, outside of party platforms and the gpeeches of thelate Prince Cousort.

The New York Central Elevator, which was opened for busucas o little more than a year a0, says the Hallway Gazette, has proved) so suc- cessful that the Company has been compelled 1o make provision far o secand one, for which the contraets have already been lot, aund pro- ceedinga taken to condemn the necessary land, The new elevator will be juet above the old one, ou the North River, close to Sixty-lirst street, where vesscls can go to recclve thelr cargues without lighteriug. It will have a capacity of 800,000 Lushels of grain. New York Is the Tast fmportane grain market to havo recourse to this last “modern fmprovemeut” fu aln- haodling, or rather to the - mcthod ot conducting gerain | traflie which gives the clevator Its full effect as sn economical Instrument; and it was some time after tha New York Central elevator was begun before the Proddee Exchange sgreed to the necessary regulations. Forin this, the co- operation of” the merchants ia absolutely neces- sary. 1f the merchant inaists ou having the fdentical enr-load of graln that was shipped to M, each consignment must beatored separately. IT the prain fs graded ofliciatly by the agents of the'merchants, then it 1s only necessary to provide separate slorage for the aeveral grades, cach consfirnee’s demand being satisiled on dellvering to him grain of the quantily and grade which Dis revceipt culls for, This ‘method had loug been In vogne at the great Western tnarkets, nod for u shorter time at some of the Eastern ones, befure New York provided for it and it 14 raie to say that the old method of delivering the identleal consignments would not be toler- ated at any of these places by the grain mer- cbanta nuy more than the carriers. And the success of the New York Central Elevator {ndl- cafes that it found favor In New York as soon asthere waa auy exterience with t.
