KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Sept s. -Reports
have been coming for some days OF q
grain blockade at New Orleans and
Galveston and yesterday the situation
took more serious turn The NJ, X.
& I. railway gave notice that II would
sign for no more grain for Galveston
until further notice, with the state
ment that 1t now had 900 cars OF grain
ON It's tracks In and about Galveston,
and 1t is said the Santa Fe road
has 800 ears more, making l,7OO
cars in all. And 1t Is under
stood that they are all big cars,
loaded 1000 bushels to the car,
which would make 100000 bushels
awaiting export. New Orleans is also
suffering from rush OF grain, and
has for the past week been unable to
handle its receipts. This Is serious
matter for the west as we'll as the
south, as II closes the southern mar
kets to us until the blockade Is re-
moved. II the Gulf ports expect to
