Cured few days since up the river. Marion
Biggs, Jr., had large quantity nicely graded
and stored in Howells warehouse Another
man, who had wheat in Hyatt's warehouse, a
short distance from there, sold 5000 sacks to
party in San Francisco, and a steamer was
sent mp after it. The Captain, mistaking
the place where the grain was warehOused,
proceeded to Howell's, and the keeper, not
noticing that the order was upon Hyatt's,
permitted ), 600 sacks of the wheat belonging
to Mr.. Biggs to be loaded and taken to San
Francisco. A gentleman, noticing Mr.. Biggs'
mark on the sacks at the wharf in that city,
and meeting him soon after at that place,
asked how much he got for his wheat. Mr.
Biggs replied that he had sold none, where
upon the gentleman mentioned seeing a barge
of wheat with his mark upon the sacks
Upon going TO the wharf ne found his wheat
as stated, and which was about to be loaded
into a ship for Europe. Upon learning thefacts
and the mistake which had been made, the
transportation company proposed to correct
the mistake by returning the wheat to the ware
house from which it was taken, but this Mr.
Biggs would not accept, as he claimed the
various gra e. had been mixed together in
shipment, and on account of the loss in
weight which is known to accompany the
handling Of grain to and from warehouses and
vessels. He offered to accept the highest
price that had previously been rendered him
for his wheat. but bhis was above the present
rates, and such a settlement of the matter
was refused by the transportation company.
MIR Biggs thereupon declined to have any.
thing further to do with the wheat and
looks for its equivalent to the warehouseman,
where he left it in store, aud the warehouse
man in turn demands reparation from the
company that took it away, and thus the
matter remains at present in this triangular
shape.
