The Kangas City grain men, with the help OF
other merchants. are about to start q barge line
from here to st. Louis for transporting corn
and other grain from Kansas City to New Or
leans. and there Is not the least doubt that In
side OF three months we will be in direct com
munication with New Orleans by water, and will
be able to furnish you the same corn at less
money than St. Louis can.
e We are 400 miles west of st. Louis and the
freight from here by railroad now to st. Louis
ts nine cents per bushel.. BY river transporta-
tion we can put corn In New Orleans barges at
St Louis, including transferring from our
barges, insurance, etc. at about six cents per
bushel. making a total cost from Kansas City to
New Orleans OF about fourteen cents per bushe
We have elevator capacity sufficient to fill any
orders that are entrusted to our care.
81 With the above explanations we write this
letter to state thnt we wish to furnish you with
whit corn or other grain you may want and
can certainly make It advantageous for you to
e correspond with us on the subject
If we think IL at all necessary one of our firm

ion on the subject and II you will wish to open
