ties, during which time we have visited
every grain dealer in the city ~ho has been
engaged to any extent in the business de-

Gil the Information In their power. even to
the spending Of several hours in going over
thsir books. that our figures, As far - they
went, might be correct. There are, how
ever, many dealers whom We have been On
able to see. Who came from points dews tho
river, and did business Of greater or less
extent. for . month OF more, and then left
leaving no record whatever Of the extent Of
their business. Besides these, our home
market, in oil kinds of grain. with perhaps
the exception Of wheat, is supplied directly
from the wagon trade on the streets. These
two items in the trade would very mate
