fort is being made to break down a monop-
oily, and if it is "a fight Capt, Davidson can
sympathize with Capt. Lowry, as he went
through similar experience and of course
knows how it is himself
The Dubuque Times says:
Commodore Davidson offered to take
grain from that point at 5 cents per sack
to St Louis, and he further declared be
would make it red hot for shippers even il
he had to put in grain buyer with specia
