ture Of "T,'' there appears communication
upon grain inspection, in which il is stated that
"a third interest has arisen" in the Doard Of
Trade. Something like uamlet's ghost, thut
sceu1s to have come up to reveal some dreadful
secret, iu which it would appear that 7" is
somewhat implicated from the tenor Of his writ
ing. This interest is held up to public gaze as
one WHOSE representatives, without honor or
character themselves, were seeking to hare
their musty regulations officially whitewash.
I'd by the board Of Trude, which ST" thinks
to be responsibility tint "discrcet men,
like himself rerhaps) are not apt to assume.
Lei us inquire whether this third in

dag, or has not been the pioneer Of every move
calculated to benefit the producing interest Of
the Northwest, the present system Of inspection

Nc will not burden your columns with The
terest is, from '.T's" own mouth, and then
leaye "lhc rest Of mankind" TO judge whether
such in interest would not be likely to occupy
that position: "T" says that this "uuclean"
interest desires to post each shipment at the
Board Of Tradc roorn-its quality, distinction,
&c. in lis next paragraph he tells us that our
grades Of inspection were established, and
publicity given to the same (for what y to tsta1-
isA tie character Of our matktt abroad. This
remarkable assertion he prefaces with this
statement: j" We understand that our iuspec.
ton was established for home purposfs."
Now, in all honesty (if that "third interest"
llas auy) how are We to give character to our
market abroad, but by carrying our inspection
into practice abroad as well rs at home: live
inspect our grain, aud grade it into separate
bins here, and then run it into vessels indis-
eriminately, is not the inspection destroyed to
all i:teats und purposes, so far us establishing
Il character :.brond is concerned, unless it be to

.kln to his OF whom it is written :" lie was a

"to facilitate busincss,''-has his grain taxed
to pay fer it, and then he wants the privilege oil

So have iyht to sell q sack Of feathers, with

been considered honest, heretofore, for any
one who knew that fact, TO advise the purchaser,
es that tie mixture SHOULD bring what it was
\ worth, without having to make q fuss ovcr them

/ inspection to guard Ills interests; but us be-
tween the reputation of Chicago Wheat and l,is
interests. no one has right to Interfere. That
is |'rodixiously sound logic!
/ IfI mistake not the interest that I" T " repre-.
scnts WAS the loudest in calling for, aud in
1.tzisin. our inspection rules; and if l remember
correctly, tue great object claimed to be sought

Chicago wheat in Eastern markets and now,
forsooth, it is al unnlit'gated nuisance, except
for home uses. Verify, then send some one 10

would be something like concluding all under q

when public aud private interests seem to con
f1ict, 1iat anlaigana1ion is the prominent trait in
their character. We do not SO Judge tue Bonrdo
Trude. What is tor the interests OF the farmer, il
for tue interest Of Chicago, and what is for the
interest Of Chicago is for the interest Of the
Board Of Trade, as whole; aud if a few are III

wise that our inspection he abolished entirely
1t il not neddllng with the afiairs Of others
when our Board institutes measures TO insure
the full benefits Of our inspection to the pro
juccr. Every receiver Of grain in our city !:
interested in having it graded, not to 90 into
our warehouses merely, but to 20 into the East
ern markets, also. Tint is the paramount object
so far as the interests Of the West are con
crrncd, and wonder that auy one should have
the auducity to say, that the Board has no busi
ness to keen record Of transactions, which
would tend to damage the genera! reputation
Of Chicago grain.
As we'll might thief say that the court wa
