=. II wae stated this morning that tho echooner
Swallow arrived at Buffalo on the %, and ull-
loaded the cargo of corn which had been takon
from the Northwestern Elevator in this city. 1t
OF news; but, lost too much advantage should bo
taken Of It, We take the liberty Of calling atom
tiou to tha fact that groat doal Of corn has
l3een shipped out from Chicago in condition
that did not Justify itB being posted, and was
found to be hot whom nnloaded from vessel or
car.
Apropos Of this We find the following in tho
Buffalo Courier Of tho Sd inHt:
exsans.1s ~ Is ssca shns ssrsy IT, ousa
bnsels can b. handled and driod oyery twenty -four
o1n 1norcAants.
This means that tho Buffalo people can dry
10000 bu Of corn per day aftor 1t has become
hot in Chicago. and allowed to heat still
further during tho lake passage. How
begins to hoat, aud cure It 90 that it could not
heat, iR not stated. It IL legitimate inferonce
that Il wo had the Same drying facilities that OK
lat at Buffalo, VIC mood hayo no such thing as
hot corn, and mona Of tho decentralization which
OCCURS here before and after tho act OF posting.
With auch facilities there would DO no refuaal to
take grain into atore on tho ground
that It vas slightly warm, loayng it to bo sold
to this city. In other words, We should have
market which, however much it might be OK
oltod by corners. would mover bo depressed by
crloa Of shot corn :" to an extont that INVOLVES
loss Of moro than million dollars to glain-owu-
ern every time Buoh cry Ia raiH1d.
We repent, from previous isaue that ere
long It will become an imperative necessity to
furnish tho means OF Keeping grain in smaller
! parcels than now. and Of drying it when not fit
TO store, tho ponalty for neglect to do this being
| q losa Of our tyado In grain.
Our warehouses; ought to be constructed with
at least considerable portion Of tho hpaco OF
which would provide for two car loads of oats
| or tlroo Of Other grain. With such On arrange
mont, each mans property could be kept Bcpa-
rate1 in all doHIrod cases, aud any bin should DO
