RAISING THE GRADE OF OATS.

CHICAGO, March 2.-Quite a stir has
been created in board of trade circles by
the publication in a morning paper of a
series of interviews on the subject of
clipped" oats. The article states that
there is a corner On No. 2 oats in Milwau-
kee; that there is machine in common
use in elevators which win clip the senal or
husk end from oats at the rate of 300
bushels per minute. The result of this
process is to make the oats heavier by re-
moval of the clipped chaff, thus raising
the grade BY this process No. 2 oats are
made No. l, and No. 3 raised to No. 9. The
article declares that the machines are now
being run on No 3 oats for the purpose of
increasing the stock of No . in order to
break the Milwaukee corner.
The elevator men interviewed, while each
denies the impeachment as TO himself,
unite in declaring that the practice has
been a common one all over the country
for the last three years.

A SOUABBLE OVER RATES.
Milwaukee Roads Ask Excessive Fare to
the G. A. R. Encampment.

CHICAGO, March H.-General McNulta,
receiver of the Wabash, had a conference
with Chairman Abbott of the Western
States Passenger association, today in re-
gard to arrangements for reduced fares to
the national encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic at Milwaukee next
August. The roads running between this
city and Milwaukee refuse to accept less
than fare and one-third as their proper
ton of the rate although the other lines
are willing to make it one fare for the
round trip.
General McNulta, who is himself a
Grand Army man, is opposed to allowing
the Milwaukee roads such high rates and
is working up a feeling among his com
rades.
1t is understood that Commander-in-
chief Warner will arrive in Chicago to-
morrow to consult with other Grand
Army officials as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
changing the location of the national en-
campment from Milwaukee to Chicago in
order TO secure the benefit of the low rates
offered by the Chicago lines.
