The quotation, In thtn mornings commercial
column, Of Tail froights to New York at 45c per
100 lbs, should hnvo road "lako and rail-" They
arc offered at TINT prco, but We arc assured that
all rail freighta cannot now bo obtained ut less
than 800 per 100 lbs to New York, aud tho market
IL quoted firm at that rate.
AThe out Inspector at the Rock Island Elevator
has boon rolioyod, pending tho hearing of tho
charges in regard to inspection Of barley, made
by Mr. Kadish, as printed in our issuo Of this
morning.
In this connection no may refer to the intima-
lions. rather freely thrown out in certain quar-
| tors, that tho wnrollougemcn tnko advantage Of
the inspection system to eithor BELL the best Of
| cach grade on thoir own account, by sample, or
to life it into the grade noxt nbovo. It would bc
abHurd to suppose thnt such things could not DO

called attention only q fow days ago to the fact
that tile ciroumstances o1Tor strong temptations
| to warehouHomen. But thoro are two points
! which ought not to bo lost sight Of. First. tho
loss than that received, because No. g. being the
speculative, grade, is kept hero to trade on,
and its price Is generally 1@2o higher than 1t
would bo Us Judged by quality alone, compared
with the grade ne1t below It. Hence tho ship
! them tho most profitable; and good deal
| Of tho wheat sold In Now York az Chicago No.
was nothing but No. 8 whom taken out Of tho
elevator hero, as 1t was inspected No. whom put
| into store.
Secondly, 1t is common practice with some
shippers by lake to lot down grain by mixing.
They will load a vessel oHtensibly with No.
spring, and have several car loads Of No. 8 emp
aud this" mixture ia sold aa "straight Ohica-
go No. e." whom 1t arrives OH tho geaboard. Un-
less the warehouseman bo tho shipper. he obtains
! no advantage from this arrangement which in
| uros only to tho benefit Of tho shipper. We may
add that our No. spring docs not find itp way
| to the seaboard. The greater part il taken up
| by our local nillors, aud the rest is bought by
| millerH in tho interior.
The complaints in regard to tho inspection Of
| certain boat-loadH Of canal corn aH rejected
| would appear to be without good foundation.
| It ia reported that committed OF grain exports
examined some Of this corn, and pronounced it
to bc rejected. number Of carloads Of corn
planned about, prove to have boen "plugged"
with layer Of defective corn at tho bottom OF
each car It Is only right, AZ it s legal, that, in
| all such casos whole carload should be m
spected as belonging to the lowest grado in tho
| caT.
