CHICAGO GRAIN FRAUDS.

According to the report OF 9
Com miltce Of the Chicago Board
of Trade, some very remarkable
cases Of frauds Ia the Grain trade
Of that city hove been uneartlled.
1t would seem that the warehous-
ing Law to insure fair dealings has
utterly failed Of its purpose. In
TIE single case Of the Mum d
Scott elevator. it appears that there
has been a. discrepancy ofisnearly
quarter of million bushels OF
Grain, between the actual contents
of the elevator and the amount
that appeared on the books Of the
State Register. Another case
shows ansexcess of more than fitty
per cent in the actual weight of
Grain over that stated in the way
bill and charged for. The Gem
mittee allege that country shippers,
sending from points where there
are no scales, can underbill Grain
while the large cities are shut out
They ascribe the growth of this
species Of fraud to the prior prac
tice Of railroads in charging ex-
cessively for shrinkage, shortage
and other waste. The companies
charge fail freight for tho amount
shipped; they deliver q sm aller
quantity, tho percentage OF loss be-
ing determined by their own cap
rice, so that the receiver not only
pays for the freight on Grain that
is not, according to the railroad
companies, transported. The.ex-
cessive she rtage charges have fire.
quently been brought before the
attention of the mercantile com
muuity during the last year or two,
but no method seems to have been
hit upon TO put an end tothe abuse.
An early return to the honest
method OF stating the exact weight
Of Gain shipped and the delivery
of that amount at the point OF des-
tination, minus a reasonable de-
/ duction for waste, is an absolute
necessity, and unless Chicago shall
heartily co operate in a reform
movement to this end, nothing is
more certain than that she will
lose her grasp upon tho Grain
Trade.
