Cincinnati aud st. 1ouia arc just now torribly
exercised in regard to m alleged want Of acc,1-
racy in CUR daily poatlngs on receipts md ship
mouts. Thoro is undoubtedly groat room for
improvement, but no l,ayo at least this adgan-
tagc, that our reports aro not doctorod mp by !
soluo one man, to whose liotum no ono else
darea to say "Nay." That is tie caHe in somo !
other places that might bo named. Chicago ia
simply unfortunate iu this, that she receives [
and ships so much produce that It Is difficult to

Tho storage and transportation question is

ia REQUIRED to curry 1t, that cash is very scarce
article. somo Of our elevators aro already so
nearly full that their propriotors aro casting
about for other storage soom, which can bo used
whom their elevators can hold no mo moro. g. Iho M

depressing prices and our largest receivers aro
