Mobile, Dec. 5.-(Special.)-For over a year np to a few days ago the immense grain elevator at the head of Commerce Street at the Mobile and Ohio upper docks. was Idle and a large amount of capital was idle thereby. Late yesterday afternoon the last carload of a shipment of 50, 900 bushels of wheat from the West for foreign export was unloaded into the elevator. there to re main until Sunday next. when the entire consignment will be transferred to the steamship Woodleigh. of the Elder-Dempster Steamship Line, for shipment to Live:oool.
 The inactivity of the elevator. which. after first being built handled vast quan- titles of wheat. oats, corn and other grain, 1t is stated by officials, is because of the fact that in an adjustment of freight rates. there appears to have been a dis crimination. through error or otherwise. in favor Of the Atlantic seaboard as against Mobile. The fact that Mobile has, in the past. enjoyed splendid busi- ness in the export trade. so far as grain was concerned, induced the present syS- tenn, to wit. the Southern Railway. to use extra efforts in behalf of this port. The of this branch of com merce will be the means of giving em- ployment to many people who work on the docks.
