THE NEW GRAIN INSPECTORS.
The ST. Louis Merchants well
Satisfied with the A%pPOini-
ments.


The principal subject of conversation
on the floor Yesterday was the appoint
nent of deputy and assistant grain
inspectors under the new law, and the
iull list of such appointees, as given
exclusively in the ReI ublic, OF Sunday,
was at the fingers ends OF the grain
dealers and elevator men. In CONVEX
sation as to the capability OF the APP
pointments, tue merchants were mex
pectedly favorable, and especially as
regards the inspectors named for st.
Louis, Endorsed the action of Chief In
spector Burks and the state board of
railroad and warehouse commissioners
very warmly. f. o. Stanard: "The
appointment OF Messrs Washington and
Robinson as assistant grain inspectors
for st. Louis is thoroughly good. Both
gentlemen W been on the board OF
grain inspection here for years, and
are entirely capable. They are per-
fectly satisfactory, so far as | can judge,
to every n on the floor, and If the APP
polntments throughout the state have
been made in the same spirit, the work
has been well done. | know OF many of
the deputies and assistant inspectors at
the other points named in the Repub-
lies list, and believe they are good
grain judges"
John Wahl said: asst. Louis Is salts
tieG with the appointments of deputies
and assistants AZ made known by the
Republic, and the general feeling on
the floor is one of satisfaction. Of the
assistant inspectors named for st.
Louis, it is thought that Messrs. Wash
ington and Robinson will be the lead.
ers, one in charge of the inspections on
this side and the other on the east
side. AS both of these men are thor
oughly trained grain inspectors, this
will insure correct and satisfactory
work. | think there has been enough
said in regard to this new inspection
law, and believe now that things will
90 on about as BEFORE"
Web. Nj. Samuel, president of the
united elevator company, was also
pleased with the appointments and be-
lieved that they had been made with a
view solely to the fitness of the men
Tor the positions. He knew those who
were made assistant inspectors for St.
Louis, also Deputy Inspector O'Shea,
and many OF the gentlemen appointed
for Kansas City and st. Joseph. and
was satisfied as TO their abilities.
Redmond Cleary had carefully read
the list published in Sundays Republic
and was well pleased with il. All The
men appointed were good grain judges,
AS tar as he knew, and he was &C
| ouainted with most of them.
Dan Byrne said the list OF inspectors
was Il siroGg one and as far as ST.
| Louis was concerned could not have
been better selected. lie had studied
carefully over the list, and all the men
whom he knew were fitted for such an
appointment, consequently it was tair
to presume that all OF them were good.
Phil Shirmer thought the appoint
mems first class, and said that the
only thing to do now was 10 60 ahead
under the new law, and see If II
wouldn't WORK about tho same a
under the old system.
Several other gentlemen were seen
and they expressed themselves in very
similar language, conveying the im-
preston TO the mind of the Republic
representative that the grain trade %
St. Louis was unusually unanimous IL
