CHEAP TRANSFORMATION FOR GRAIN.
The committee appointed by the recent
convenEon Of the Boards Of Trade Of the
lake cities have returned from their trip
eastward, having paved the wny for the
successful accomplishment Of the business
rHon which they vera sen. They hsve
conferred with the Directors and osdcers
Of the Northwestern, :he Burlington i
Quincy, the Rock Island, the Illinois
Central and the Chc1go L Alton
1;allroads, aad with Go7e1nor Hoif-
nan and the officers Of the Board Of
Control Of the Erie Canal, and also with
the leading elevator owners Of Buffalo and
chicago. and have obtained from them all,
or nesrly all Of them, the assurance that
whatever reduction Of rates Of .ailroad
fzeiehts west Of Chicago, of elevator
charges in Chicago and Buffalo, and Of tolls
On the Erie Cannl is required to keep the
entire grain business in its present
channels, shall be effected Governor
Hoffman regards the entire tolls on grain
on the Erie Canal as mere bagAtelIe com.
pared with the rast importance to Buffalo,
Oswego, Albany and New York of retaining
the business he will, therefore, recon,
1nend that The canal tolls, now six centa pc,
bushe}, be wholly abolished, Il .ns.
cessaE. The proprietoss Of the
1.ilroadsa chiefly interested are fully In
pressed Sith the importance Of co.opern-
ton in such reductions Is will concentrate
the entire grain trade Of the Northwest at
this point. II there should prove to b
any backwardnesa On the part Of the eleva-
ior pzopr;esors Of Chicago, which is not
anticipated, the railroads vil send the
grain TO elevators ot their own, and
thus remedy the eril Such CO.
operation in attaining this result
bus been pledged by all The parties who
