Tho Committee appointed to decide tho selling
value Of No. 2 barley III this market reported,
to-day that they found CONSIDERABLE difficulty in
arriving at conclusion, but had decided on
$125 per bu Us tho figure which seemed to them
to bo ncarcst the mark. They therefore, recon-
1nen1od that 41.25 DO adopted ~ the present
basis Oh which margins should be called, III caucs
where there IL any dispute IS to the amount
mont Of contracts.
We arc assured that thorc ia grave miutake
in the account frorp which was made the notice
IN our issue this morning about tIlat car Of bar
Icy. 1t il stated that there is barley sulphur
izlng mill III or near Fond du Lac, Wis. (thcro is
one ut JAnesvillo), aud that tho man for whom
the barley was purchased did not want to doctor
it, aud it, opposed to tho practice Of treatng bur-
10y with chemicals OF any kind. Tho thing COM
plninod OF is that tho barley was inspected out as
rojected, mud when it came back WAS inspected
in as unmerchautablo, tho inspection boing
afterwards corrected to rejected, when the Chief
Inspector had boon notified TINT the car Of bar
Icy was subject to his order. The barley is cor-
tainly Of Vcry low order, and to one uuinitiatel
in the mysteries of inspection it would soem that
it ought hover to have boon inspected as belong
ing to any nlerchantablo grade-as tho sample
exhibited on Change consisted entirely Of rotten
stuff, scarcely tit oven for olickon-feod. Tho
transaction cost tile innocent shipper about
$1,000 III frsight chargou, and he w.nts to know
il l,e is obliged to bear the loss for which he
ought not to be held responsible.
It il asked Nlcther or not tho State. in rcgiB-
tering grain receipts, does not place itself in tho
position Of ono WHO in1orBes another mans
note, aid is called upon to payit when tho maker
Of ths note fails to meot tho obligation Also,
whether tho State, which claims immunity from
suit ought to lend ynlidity to grain-raper under
such circumstances, when otEerwiIe that paper
would not pass current "ris grave question:
or. rather, couple OF them.
THE MARKETS.
Tho lending produce marlets wore stronger
today, and active, when wo thkc into account
the small quantity OF grain on tbe market. But
little Of that now in storo is offered for sale,
most Of 1t being hold by parties who arc carry
ing it for delivery on options for December or
January, whilo tho receipts are 10 small nj to
mako an unusually light volume Of curront ofror-
ings. One reason for the last-namoa fact is
probably that the freight engines Of tho rail-
roads arc wanted to bring in the live stock which
is pouring in upon ua in much creator numbers
than ever before, md threatens to empty the
entiro hog Drop of the Wost into our Imp within a
couple Of months from date. It is not, however,
continue. We shall have moro grain
mud fewer hogs before long, unless
tho present season should give the le to Ill past
experience Meantime it is wonder where
the money comes from to pay for the hogs ha
they come in daily, when We remember that cash
| lB 10 scarce that at much ns SH per cent per
| month las bcen paid for carrying. The other
principal featurea IN the general stnation arc q
decline III tho gold premium, rapid Increase IN
ern market, and better domaul for thom in
| tho East and in Europe, which induces shippers
here to tako hold, notwithstanding the tightuoas
in tho money market, and the general inclemen-
| 10 tint efforts are being made to remove tho
snow obatrnctionp to tho pnshugo Of boats along
| tho Eric Canal, no IA to permit tho forwarding
OF tho 5, 600 Goa bu grain now atloat thors; but
no report comes u to tho progress made in tho
effort.
