SCARCITY OF CARS.

Grain buyers of the smaller towns in
Sedgwick county find it impossible TO Sc
cure cars to ship grain in and are COM
planning that it is the result of a con-
splracy between Wichita and the railway
companies who "stand in" so as to COM
pei farmers to come to Wichita with their
grain Whether any reasonable number of
people believe in such an absurd idea is hard
TO say but one man at least was making a
big roar about it at the court house To
ascertain whether there was any advan
tage taken of country grain buyers in
this respect an EAGLE reporter visited
several of the city grain buyers last night
and found that each one of them had as
much of q grievance about not being able
to secure cars as the country merchants.
Why" said one of them, "we here in
Wichita, where railroad competition is so
sharp between the railroad lines, can't get
one grain car for every ten we order. l
honestly believe that the country grain
dealers are doing fully as we'll as we are in
the line of getting cars, and if they are not
1t is because railroad competition is not SO
sharp in country towns as it is in Wichi-
ia. The agents of the railroad companies
tell me that ii is impossible for them to
supply US all the cars we want owing to
the unprecented general demand there is
in the state for cars. ''Why; man, there
is not a vacant building in Wichita, for
there is grain stored everywhere. Some
grain buyers are actually renting build
ings for the storage of grain at higher
prices than the same buildings would
rent for, for business or residence pur-
poses, and need not tell you that grain
dealers would not pay these high rentals
if they could get the cars to convey the
grain to points where storage could be had
at more reasonable prices. No, sirl the
country merchants are treated equally as
well as we are, and as for there being
conspiracy between us and the railway
in opposition to the country
merchants it is all bosh and nonsense, and
1 don't think any reasonable or sensible
grain merchant who knows the circum-
stances believes it for moment.
