There is now considerable excitement Oh
Chango in reference to the grading Of barley.
Some time ago the Board OF Railroad aud Ware
house Commissioners made D change in tho rulo
that had previously governed the inspection Of
barley, by inserting the word bright" among
the necessary qualifications Of barley that will
grade as No. O. Recognizing tho fact that tho
barley crop Of this year is generally "ofr in
color, and that but little Of it would como up to
tho new standard, tow operators won't in on
tho long side to tho e1tont OF thoir means.
Others sold short, and now, finding that they

It," Tho statement was made to.day
that q petition has been circulated for uigna-
lures, calling upon tho Commissioners to do
something. Just here tho rulnor branches, ono
story being that tho petitioners want tho rule to
DO changed, while tie other is to the effect that
tho Commissioners arc requested to 500 that tho
barley is inspected no higher than tho rule calls
for.
A day or two aftor tho PRONUNCIATION OF tho
new rulo We characterized it as unnecessary,
and stated that it would probably Cause trou-
Bile. But, though NC admit that the rulo is
uncalled for, Il is easy to geo that a great donl
and very little good. < great doal OF of
barley has boon sold for future delivery under
the new rulc, aud to changoit now, while those
trades arc pending, would DO to Change tho
character Of tho obligations voluntarily assumed

bored that, il the grade of No. this year s as
good AZ tho No: of former ycarH, it will soil
for just as much for brewers use al il it were
No. !. Tho great mischief in grain inspection
lies In changing tho grado oftoner than is nec-
essary. 10 change it again would DO but to
increase tho evil consequences OF the former
But it is alleged TINT tho inspectors are inter-
preting tho rule unpecenaarily high, by insisting
that bright" barley menus white barley. II
THIS he tr,io it is valid objection, and the COM
Bpcctor-in-Chio who has been interviewed on
the subject, claims that it ia not 40, and points
tr1umphantly to tho fact that no appeal has yet
been nixon from the inspection. Il Ia fair to say
tion are out Of tho city, which reudors It prac-
tically impossible to make such appeal but

If 1t be wrong to sell that which tho sollor dooa
not own, then It is certainly wrong to sell that
which has no existence, except al imaginary one.
