the effect that millions OF bushels OF

waiting fer Port Arthur. both Galveston
and New Orleans are showing remarkable
Increases In exports, and the other day a
congress OF leading representatives from
the Southern and Western states met for
the plain purpose OF diverting the export
grain trade TO Southern ports. in return
for which the South was TO throw its
