MUCH GRAIN GOING TO THE SOUTH.
KANSAS CITY, No, Dec. 3O.-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, and
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 100000 bushels of it left
the port of New Orleans for foreign
countries. The roads running out OF
Kansas City so 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.
