Tho proprietor Of ono Of tho grain-dootoriug
and mixing mills that disgrace this city is trying
to mAko pooplo bolleyo that the ohargon ngainst
tho nefarious trade, aud the mon who conduct
1t, nro falso first, because there IL no tootorod
barley above tho grade Of rojectod in tho Rock
Island Elevators, and, secondly, because ho han

possible speed to find a customer before it

Msuhlphurotod 81 h barley above the grade Of rejected
epoctors, and not with the gentlemen who do

Canadian barley. which u bringing 20@25c per

outside Of tho distrust folt by Eastern dcalors,
who foar to take hold OF any barley from thia
city, because aomo Of 1t has boon tamperel with.
However much the manipulators may blow
own property, tho honest portion Of manlfnd can

and tho raising OF chcckB on bank. But thero
is good reason to hope TINT tho thing will be
stopped, though not without strong opposition,
aa tho mixing business is abottel, II not carried
on, by Bomo mon who have been honored with
high Office in tho commercial community.
The honest dsalers in grain will welcome tho
