CHICAGo's GRAIN FLOOD.
Unparalleled Shipments to the East By
Water and Rail

Chicago Is pouring wheat and corn into
the East In a flood that eclipscs all records.
Grain shipments the last two weeks via the
lakes from Chicago have approXimated near
ly 600 600 bushelsa u day.
The average Of grain shipments from the
city since August II has surpassed the rec
ords OF previous years. II the shipments Of
Saturday and Monday equal the daily aver
age OF the last twelve days all records will
have been smashed. No such outflow Of
grain from Chicago 10 eastern ports has ever
been recorded before.
Prices are 30 per cent less than they were
In 1891, when there was an enormous export
trade. bu, the fall Of 1896 promises to rival
II. Except In 1881 the export demand for
wheat Il larger than 1t has been at any time
during the last decade. A sharp advance in
prices at Berlin and Paris and the confirmed
shortage OF the Russian crop have made a
heavy demand for American grain. Chicago
Is feeling this. Her lake steamers are travel
ing eastward loaded TO their full capacity.
From the West the well-stCc cked wheat bins
and the corn fields where frost has done
comparatively no damage are sending enor-
nous shipments 10 Chicago.
The Clyde and Belfast ship builders have
settled their differences with their employees
by conceding the advance in wages de-
manded by the men.
