GRAIN TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.

THE PROPOSED BUILDING OF ELEVATORS BY THE

OPINIONS OF RAILROAD OFFICIALS.

Companies are making preparations to afford terminal
facilities the transportation OF Western produce by
way OF New-York, similar to those which the New-York
Central and Hudson River Railroad Company pre-
pairing to furnish sixtiethst BY the erection Of
large grain elevator and other convenences. prom.

that would remove the necessity OF elevators.
At the Erie offices 1t said that the officers Of the

consideration. Its erection regarded merely as
question OF time. At present they could handle $50
car loads OF grain per day when the proposition Of the
Produce Exchange carried into effect they would be
able to take carloads per day. II was not
