only 81 per cent Was there ever CLEARER case

Railways and ocesn shippers are in part re-
sponsble for this result for the advance in rates
was unreasonably large. But the mischief has
been mainly done by the great grain spectators
at Chicago, Milwaukee, Baltimore and here.
Repeatedly this season, they have forced prices
upward so FIR that shipments could not be prof.
tsbly made. Few will grieve that some Of them
have lost heavily, while others have still on
hand large stocks of grain inst as some "bulP'
