Her storage capacity is exhausted and there

oIa"corner"; it happens merely that grain is
arriving in that great market faster than it
can be disposed Of. But how does this
come? That is what has been bothering
the Chicago people. Grain is also accu.

two hundred million bushels Of wheat for
Europe, and seveuty.ive millions for our

The point Of interest Is that in the face OF
shortened production American grain
accumulates in tho elevators, from which
back to the farmer the distance is not
great. Is Europe consuming legs grain

wages reduced the power Of the people to
