huUh DRAIN GOING TO THE SOUTH
KANSAS CRY, Mo, Dec. so Rail-
roads are having more than the usual
difficulty in furnishing enough cars
for the grain that is going south at
present There is a large shortage in
the grain crops of Texas this year, aud
this Is one of the causes for the in
creased southern business In grain.
The greatest reason for the increase,
however is the fact that the gulf ports
are rapidly becoming the great export
ing points for grain. In the month of
November there was more grain ex--
ported from New Orleans than from
any city in the country by 400, 900 bush.
els. Over 5000, 900 bushels of IL left
the port OF New Orleans for foreign
countries. The roads running out Of
Kansas City TO the south are taking
out about 100 cars of grain every day,
and the present indications are that
the movement will keep up for some
time.
