The figures Of decrease are undoubtedly cor

subtract the deficiencies in wheat and corn noted
week ago. We shall then have 582.257 bu
wheat and 720, SGT bu corn.
Mr.. Clary, the Registrar OF Grain, appends to
the above report the following significant docu-
ment:
"In my report. however, continue the ac-
count from my books of grain in atore in the
Mum & Scott Elevators. The present proprie-
tors are to begin at once to weigh the grain in
those houses, and I expect next week to re-
port the correct amounts. Agreeably
to my promise last week, to examine
and report upon the cause Of the discrepancies
between my books and the estimate Of
George Armour d. Co. I have to state that my
accounts are correct, based upon the measure
ment' in August last. The Inspectors engaged
in that measurement inform me that they we're
grossly deceived .t the time; that they have
positive proof that many Of the bins represented
to be full we're boarded over, near the top, and
contained only covering Of grain"
