Chicago, Dec 2S.-Joseph Letter has
apparently won a victory in mis- fight
with George A Seaverns, the grain
Elevator owner, as 20 the quality Of
wheat to be delivered on Letters con-
tracts.
Letters commission men, Alexander
Geddes & Co., sent the steamer Iron
Kink last week 10 Seaverns' elevator,
the Alton, to load with No red winter
wheat. By the lime 5000 bushels Of the
steamers cargo OF 1900 bushels had
been spouted into its hold Letters pri-
gate inspectors turned the wheat down
They declared st not up to the contract.
Mr.. Seaverns now offers to take the
wheat out Of the vessez and 10 give a
different grade.
Letter and mis- commission men say
the big fight Of the great wheat deal is
now on; that they intend to get the kind
OF wheat they bought, and no poorer.
They have a fleet of vessels, Of which
the Iron King is only one, ready to take
all the No. red winter wheat for which
Tor, about 270, 900 bushels.
Last night it was understood that the
elevator people would remove the wheat
already in the boat and tender a new
lot Exciting times may follow The
Letter people look for the same sort of
wheat over again, claiming that the Al
ton grain has been mixed down too fine
and that Il is too late to change It, Il
this happensthe private inspectors en-
ployed by Letter will protest, the ap-
psals committee will Al once be called
anew and the fight viii De made over
again.
II IL should happen that the appeals
committee shculdth row out any uuan-
tity OF the grain rendered by any eleva-
tor a sensation might follow. The state
grain inspection department has inspect
ed the grain into the houses. thereby
permitting the warehouse receipts to be
issued against il. The state could be
he'd responsible in case It developed that
its employees rad been too lenient.
There are about 100000 bushels Of
contract wheat in the Chicago elevators.
Letter owns il all. It is still in the nos
session OF the elevator people. Certain
carsoer were taken from Armour and
found very satisfactory. 1t is, however.
only as Letter begins to load wheat out
or the elevators that he can tell what
kina OF grain he is to get on his con-
tracts.
