Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-08-19


tiOn Adopted by the Board Of Trade
of the City Of Cleveland
A day or two since We stated that the Board OF
Tradeof this city had established system of Grain
Inspection and Grading, similar to that in use in
Chicago. Toledo and other cities. Itis the opinion
of most of our business men that buyers of grain
have been driven from this market in consequence
of being unable to obtain such quality as they
quired, owing TO the want of system of inpeeton,
and it is certain that this new systou will be oi
great benefit to all par ties interested. Below We
give the Grades Of Grain and Rules ofIuspeetion
adOI ted by the Board: s....
