STORING GEA1N.-News of the drought in
France and Spain, and the anticipated
scarcity of brcadstuifs, and later of the war,
had a Stimulating effect upon our western
grain operators. So great was the rush that
even the enormous facilities of Chicago
were taxed to the utmost, and every cleva-
tor is now crammed. At last accounts
nearly five million bushels Of wheat were
packed away in that city, being more than
three millions in excess Of the quantity IN
store at this time last year.
