A TELEGRAM to the Alta states that
company is being formed at Chicago for
the purpose OF bringing the grain pro.
Queer in direct communication with
European markets. Oriville Grant, the
brother of the President, is one Of the
promoters Of the scheme. The project
appears to have q political bearing, for
the Atlas telegram says:
There has been some private talk that
this scheme has been projected by the
friends OF the administration in order to
conciliate and combine the influences of
the Railroad Companies and the Gran.
gers, by making them mutually interest
ed in the enterprise; but this is all specu-
lation.
1t is fact, however, that Oriville
Grant, the Presidents brother, is one of
the ostensible promoters, and other
friends Of the Government stand in the
background with large amount OF cap
ital to operate with when the arrange.
ments are all perfected, which will be in
about six weeks. An office will be
opened in New York this week, and next
Saturday an agent will be sent to attend
| to establishing offices elsew here.
