Letter GRAIN D MOVE
Contract For a Million and a
Half Bushels
THROUGH TO LIVERPOOL
Supposed to be Jumped to a
British Syndicate.

Chicago, Feb. lit is positively stated
here that contracts for moving 100000
bushels of Letter wheat to the seaboard
have been made. OF this the Grand
Trunk is reported to have secured 100000
bushels; the Nickel Plate 10000 bushels
and the Lehigh Valley 100000 bushels.
The cereal will be carried on a through
rate from Chicago to Liverpool, so it
cannot be aecertained what proportion
will accrue TO the railroads for the haul
to the seaboard.
The Chronicle says: EFT is estimated
that the Letter holdings of wheat in this
city and afloat will exceed 0,0oO, 900 BUSH
els, and since a recent visit to this city
of eastern exporters the suspicion has
arisen that the entire amount has been
disposed Of TO British syndicate. Freight
men do not deny that negotiations look
ing to the placing Of large contracts have
been pending for some time, and it is
asserted on reputable authority that every
prominent eastern line connecting with
Chicago has been invited to bid on the
transportation OF an indefinitely large
amount Of wheat to the seaboard."
