ST. PAUL, Aug. 20.
At the meeting Of the board of trade yesterday
morning. the matter Of eecting inspector of grain
was preached, followed by proposal to complete
the organization by appointing the committee on in
spection and weights and the board of arbitration al
provided III the bylaws. In the course of an in-
formal discussion of these propositions, it was re-
marked that there appears to be considerable preju-
dice in the grain section against the st Paul
elevators. All the grain dealers present had observed
this, but all believed 1t to be
not we'll founded, and Mr.. Van slyke related
an incident in his recent experience as
follows: An Iowa correspondent In the letter of adj
vice accompanying consignment of two car loads
OF oats remarked that he did not care to take the
weights or the st. Paul elevator. Nevertheless the
grain had to go into the elevator and it happened that
these two cars both overrun the shippers, weight
one by sixty bushels and the other by ten bushels
In making ms return MIR. Van Slyke advised his cor
respondent that these were st. Paul ele vator
weights, and asked him what more he had to say.
He answered that he had nothing more to saw except
to withdraw what he had said about the st. Paul ele-
vators 1t was finally voted that the president should
give notice that Thursday of next week.
at The regular morning meeting,
the board will elect grain inspector and that the
also be appointed.
