The corn trade Of Central Illinois l. becom-
ing ont OF lazge interest. Stock feeding Is OF |
no lees importance, As farms become subdl-
vtded md then. again. I largo proportion at |
the Email farmers bare not tho capital to puf.
chase ttocf for feeding, and - cotn IL 4 good I
paying crop. snd commands ready sa1e II |
nesr1y all seasons OF the yeAr,> few are dis |
posed to look beyond It |
Before the railroads, It WAS aold in the
field BY the acse to stock feeders.
Whom The railroads gave An
impulee to the more rap,d settlement Of the |
''dsand Prsiris," the neg comess became
large purchasers, It vas then crihbed in rail |
pens In the open field In = few years this
demand cessed, and before tie farmer WAS !
Jure or Jaly. 1t waa seriously damaged by the |
weather. Corn thus housed could onlys be |
moved in bulk during the summer reason; for |
river port, and pass tnso the warehouse, into
large bins, Ehefe II often became injured By /
heAti1 s; th1oTn into Lake vessAla to Buffalo !
or Oswego. where It vas Transferred. to the |
caua1, and thus after tedious and expensive
freight. tranefers md commissions, reached
the beaboard. where It was distributed to tbs
CONSUMER. Sow nj this Is changed, md the
corn irads has new conditions, that pl4ea it
on better footing, one much moro satiafao-
'osF to the farmer.
The puge, the Board at Trade, or the ware
bousemen Of Chicago do not appear to com.
vexing them. II ne look into this matter
and etudy iss bearings. We shall see that the
warehouse question will lose much OF ita ter
rors to ths producer, though Il may loom up to
more importance to the business men Of the
city. The notorious gambling 10 grain, and
the want Of fair dea1irg by SONS Of tbs s.il-
ruae.. and na9re OF lees OF tbs wateuouses Of
Chicago, no toabt gave tha first di,ec ion to
this new trade, tnst has finally and petmx-
rtntsy diTetted 40 much of tha grain trade
frem that CITY. and it il nov too late to re-
gain ii. In order to ahow vhat ia doiug, va
