We find 1t necessary to repeat tho Banlo story

Tho country shippers nro sending us IN cnor-
nous quantity Of grain, but the country bankH
arc a|so sending great doal Of money to tl,oir
correspondents in tha city, with inslructiona to
lond It nt 10 per cont, or less, and thus while tho
domand for money to carry grain Increases, the
money which the country Inns received for the
lnrgo crops already sold Is boing applied to kDop
up prlces. Tho situation iB on unusual one, aud
amounts in fact to q sort Of o combination on tho
part Of Western capital to sustain tho prices Of
Wostern products II It wore not for tho heavy
receipts Of grain in this city Mt prcson there is
llttlo doubt TINT priccs could not only be
country shppors skcep scnding It in at the proB-
ent ratio thoy will forco genoral declno, and SO
establish q 1owor range of prices for what they
have On hand yet to holl; Tho FOREIGN markets

It iB q curious and unprecedented circumstance
TINT largo amounts Of barley aro now being ship

ordinary conditions Of tho market in this part Of
tho country, there would, Of course, bo no IN
ducomont to ship barley Or other grain 2,b0O
miles by rail from the Pacific ooast to thesc In
terror .Statea wlloro 80 large an amount Of bar-
. 10y Ia raised. But last yoar there was short
crop Of barloy, spcculators took hold and run
up the prico until aome Of tho heaviest
Chicago brewers thought Of tho expcdiont
Of buying in California for thoir Immediate uao.
Within tho past ton days nearly 100 car-loads Of
barley havo arrived in this city from San Frau
, cisco and wo hnve aeon advices to-day OF tho
shipment of over hundred cara more from tho
sanao place to Chicago. Tho freight by rail is OF
courso very high but oven il It should mako tho
barley cost moro than it could be bought for
hore 1t enables tho browors to chccknate tho
speculnsors by dopriving thcm Of markot. At
one tino not long ago barley in this market was
up to 81 por blsliol. Tho decline from that
price haa undoubtedly been caused by theso I'M
