Withdrawn on Saturday for city consumption:
$3.50 bu wheat, 1858 bu corn, 748 bu oats, $3.50
bu rye, "a, ,544 bu barley.
The following grain has been inspected into |
store this morning, up to 10 o'clock: I'LL cars
wheat, 1853 cars corn 40 cars oats, Il cars rye, "a
cars barley. Total 413 cars, or 1000 bu.
An attempt is being made to partially "r1gglo
out Of the odium of the barley scrape by ohsrg=
inr certain warehousemen with collusion in the
matter. So far as ne can ascertain, there is not
the least ground for such charge. The ware
housemen have had nothing to do With 1t, fur"
ther than to serve out the grain ut one house,
when the receipts and empty cars were pre-
sented, and take it III at another house when Of
fered there. They had nothing to do with the
inspection in either case. We may further say
for Armour, Dole g. Co., that they
htye uniformly refused to receive doctored
grain into their houses. Itwould be we'll If other
Earehousemen would take the same position
and adhere to it; OF, If they must receive it,
place it in special bin, and under no circumstan-
ceg mix it with grain that has not been raised in
grade. II they would do this, the honest clean
ing of grain for actual use would not be inter-
fe1ed with, while the dirty part Of the business
would be stopped off effectually, and with 1ttle
trouble. Cannot our warehousemen agree upon
this. as an act OF Justice to the trade They
would probably find such action to be duly ap-
preciated among honest men.
For the Inspectors. it is stated that the barley
which Was inspected IS No. into the Armour d.
Dole Elevator, eomo two months ago, was so
graded because it Was soft" going through the
sweat "-and that that process, having terml-
mated, it is now real No. barley. 1t WILL prop
ably be definitely ascertained just where the
blame does lie.
The leading produce markets were more active
to-day and averaged shade higher, the only
marked advance being IN wheat: our rec Teee'R1s
the season, with the exception Of corn. Ihe
mild weather, which is generally looked upon as
unusual for this time Of the year, is helping our
receipts Of grain, without making any materle;
difference in the shipments, while the continued
| gtringency OF the money market tends to re-
etrict trading. The grocery trade was quiet,
with no material variation in prlceB: Conee,

Hides and leather remain firm as previously

noted in lard and turpentlme. Other varieties

confines fair for the season, prices undergoing
no important change. Brick, lime, cement ETC.,
