MORE CORN THAN CARS.
Grain Movement in the West VIII Be Un-
precedented.

Within few days complaints have
asme from the Northwest that cars are
sh0St, and that the movement of wheat
has thereby been retarded. The same
story Is also told by elevator men about
Chicago about the situation in the corn
belt Of the West. The roads leading to
Minneapolis and Duluth delivered 1851
cars of wheat last week. an increase of
1874 cars over ssthe previous wesA and
ASH cars over last year. The move
ment in that section is only fairly under
way, and Is expected to be heavy for the
next thirty days unless interrupted by
bad weather, az the small elevator men
are unable to get money to hold their
wheat and must market it.
1t is expected that for the coming
thirty days the movement of grain all
over the West will be unprecedented.
The improvement in prices has Increased

expected to continue free. The aRgre-
gase receipts in Chicago last week were
the largest for the same period in over
four years, being 8, a95. 600 bushels, an
increase ofs2 1854, 900 bushels over the pre-
vious week, !, 342. 600 over last year, s.

will increase only moderately. As rates

themoving of larger:quantity of stuff.to
bring their gross receipts up to former

cut as low as possible which will help

case with. small hope of recovery, but he
has since rallied ard will doubtless get

attribute the disease to certain special
cases of bad drainage. and its failure to

/ Ihe deficit was not to be counted in
hundreds of thousands, but in millions
of money. As for the shareholders in
the unlimited company, they were liable
individually to the whole extent of the

debtor of the six or seven millions that
the bank was short. This, of course,
