Withdrawn from atoro yesterday Tor city con-
sumption: 752 bu wheat; 5,43t bu corn; AGO
bu onts; 1926 bu rye; 5, OILS bu barley.
The following grain hua boon inspected into
store tllia morning, up to 10 O'clock: 33 cars
whoat; 12l cars corn; cars catB; cnrs rye;
Is cars barloy. Total, 180 cars, or II 600 bu.
Tito bill to regulate grain inspection, which
bids fair to bo passed. ut Springfield, Ia in gon-
oral torms admirably adapted to tho wants of the
situation. Thoro is, however, ono fes:.tre oftho
hill which may provo to DO very bad one We
nlludo to that allowing $500 in each case to each
mombor Of tho Committee Of Appeals. That ia
5000, which, on q single car-lohd OF corn of 400
hu, ,,yon1d hn a. per bu,-a- ratlor onerons tax.
II wo remember that rejected corn often aolls to
within 20 per bu OF tho price of No. 2, we shal
SEQ tint tho owner Of car-load Of No. corn
Tint is inspected as rejected, might loso money
by appealing tho Case, oven though it wore do
citled in his fAvor, if ho should have to pay the
Committee for thoir services.
It is probable, too, that it would be almost
equally wrong to charge auch feos upon tho ill.,
spoction fund, which might DO 30 seriously de-
pletcd thereby ns to nccessltato m increase IN
the inspection foes. Tla would bo to mnke tho
owners Of grain about which tloro is no dispute
pay for tho settlement Of disputes in othor
cases. We may romnrk hero that, uudor tho
charged by tie inspection Committee; they do
cided ail cases appealed to them without roml1-
noration, and, being practical grain men, their
decisions wore gonorally acceptable, even to tho
| partics who wero decided to be in tho wrong.
