Too Much Grain.

Too Much Grain.
CHICAGO, Jan. 10-A grain blockade
of prodigious proportions is the feature
of the grain trade in this market ut pres
ent. The elevators of the city, which
contain an aggregate of sixteen million
bushels, are filled to their utmost capaci-
ty, and several roads are refusing to re-
ceive it for this market, because when it
arrives, there are no accommodations for
it in this condition Of affairs. The di-
rectorS of the board of trade are Consid-
ering the propriety of accepting as reg
ular the receipts in the elevators and
stOrehouses along the lines of the vari-
Gus railroads. 1t is also in contempla-
ton to provide temporary storage out
side the elevators, and TO build new ele-
vators in various parts of the city.
4 large number of cars are lying
along the track in this city loaded with
grain and unable TO deposit. There are
In store 100000 bushels of wheat,
and enough other grain to make
the total .i4,500,000, against total of
100000 at this time last year.
There are also about II million
bushels ailoat in the harbor. The eleva-
tors outside the city and tributary to it
are generally well filled, some of them
overcrowded. For this condition OF af-
fairs, the only explanation is that the
grain syndicate, of which James Il.
Keene is the representative, have by con
slant purchases forced the price Of wheat
in this city to point where it is Il dead
loss to ship il TO New York, and to Il
point where it cannot be shipped from
New York to Liverpool, even at the pre-
vailing low rates of ocean freight, with
any prospect of return Of the money
invested, unless the prices in Liverpool
advance very materially, or decline here
something like 90 cents per bushel
There will be no shipping margin, and
the grain blockage will continue; in the
meantime farmers are unable to find a
market for their grain, although the
prices are TO their liking. The out come
of this unprecedented situation will bc
watched with much interest,

Utes in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Jan. 10-The Ute Indians,
with escort, passed through here to-day,
arriving at 4 p. inland taking supper at
the Grand Pacific hotel, and leaving by
the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne for Wash
ington at p. IN. There was a crowd at
the depot and some demonstration, but
only in the way of unpleasant words to-
wards the Indians. Gen. Adams, who
arrived this forenoon, confirms the sto-
Ties of the nameless indignities which
these women suffered at the hands of
these Indian captors. He says the wo-
men very unwillingly made full state
ment 10 the commissioners of the cir
cumstances with the understanding that
il should not be published. Mrs. Meek
er, however, subsequently, published the
story. Adams said that had he known
this part of the barbarity of the sayages
before the commission began its work,
he would have advised letting Gen.
Merritt and his force punish the red
were, however. so adverse to having the
fact known that they at first denied, even
to the commissioners, that they had been
foully dealt with.
