The Committee appointed to investigate Ger
tain matters pertaining to warehouse manage
ment in this city, have not yos reported, md It
ia whispered that they have not yet agreed upon
their report. They aro understood to have al
ready covered q good deai moro ground (if only
in o thin way) than they were asked to cover;
and Biuce it is just aa we'll to be hung for sheep
as lamb, there would Be no groat harm in ex-
tonding tho inquiry little further than they are
supposed to have done.
Tho point to which We have special reference
ia this: Whether the average quality OF the grain
that passes out Of store for any given grade ia
equal to the average quality of the grain that ia
inspected in as belonging to that grade.
1t ia we'll known that our standard Of in iuspec-
ton is high ono. and is interpreted vigorously
by the Inspectors ,-as It ought to be. It is not
80 well known that our standard Of out inspoc-
ton ia equally high; and, indeed, there are
many people who are not At all satisfied that the
two standards are eqaa}. It is we'll known that
parcels Of No. wheat arc sometimes sent hence
to tho East which, arriving at their destination.
are not equal to tho average quality OF No. 3 Is
! interpreted by tho in Inspectors aud there must
be Home. reason for the difference. II the
reason bo that tho shipper adulterates
BY mixing in an uncertain percentage Of wheat Of
lower grade, tho fact ought TO be known. so
that Eastern buyers may bo ablo to se11d tloir
orders 10 parties who do net mix in that way. II
it arise from some other Cause, either deteTior-
~ in, }ha n /
well that the busiueas public should be informed
thereof. Tho aphorism that 10 knowledge Of
the diaease is half it's cure" is equally trlo in
grAin-doctoring Us in medication Of tho human
systen,,-and our warehouse system is but a
human institution. in regard to Which We read
"uumanum est orrare OF peocaro."
