STORAGE

the meeting was called, because Of the impres-
sion that prevailed that our system Of grain
inspection was impeffectly carried out; that !
owing to heavy rains a large amount Of wheat
shipped to this city as No. 2 Spring WAS "re.
5ected,'' and Was sold at q loss Of 10@12c per
buBhel, and that this same rejected wheat Eas
"doctored" and palmed of upon the shipper |
as No. 2; that men Who are making peincely |
fortunes out Of the warehouse business were
charged, he trusted uojust1y, with mixing this
grain. He demonstrated that by running one
thousand bushels Of rejected wheat into each
cargo Of Eound wheat, that sum Of not less
than twenty thousand dollars could be made
out of two hundred cargoes. He also stated
1t as fact that q shipper in order to secure q
good cargo Of grain in this city, had not only
to employ an inspectort to watch the grain as
1t went into the vessel, but he had to go him
self and sleep in the warehouse. It was dis
grace to our city that such was the truth, but
every shipper experienced It.
Mr. ". also, commented pointedly on the
recent announcement Of the warehousemen
that the rates Of winter storage would be 1@2c
Per bushel higher than formerly, and stated
that he did not believe they could collect it
from grain In store before that announcement
~as published. He also showed that such
action on their part was wholly uncalled for.
Us their profits now were enormously large
and that 1t had the effect to advance the rates
Of freighte, already 1uiaously high. He offered
the following resolutions:
