oun srArE INSPECTION OF GRAIN.
Another instance Of the value Of our grain
inspection Was furnished yesterday. Two cars
OF barley, which had been inspected ~ No. y,
wore afterwards sold by sample, one At 78o, and
ths other At TIC per bu. The grain WAS eQual in
quality to the bent No. 2, In the opinion OF the
man, who MAS known to bo III export, and was
willing to pay tho money that the grain WIS
worth. And yet tho grain~doalors !" aro not hap
