KNOW WHEN CARS LEAK.
Grain Dealers Discuss Various Busl-
ness Problems.

ness Problems.
An interesting session Of the Mitch
ell branch OF the Southern Minnesota
and South Dakota Grain Dealers 1850
citation was held in the rooms OF the
Mitchell club with more than forty
members in attendance. J.. J. Quinn
Of Minneapolis, secretary OK the assoc
citation, was present and took nnrt In
the discussions. The pt ncioal rsJect
of the association. is to oetter the con-
ditions of weights and inspection at
the terminal shipping points, and to
get better equipment for the railroads
in the way of cars and for better serv-
Ice in transporting the grain to mar
ket.
There are many things coming In
the grain business" remarked one OF
the dealers. ''that are of an xggravat-
ing character. which, tal-en individual
iy, the dealer would hardly get a lear
ing, but with the strong membership
of the association making a demand,
the companies show more readiness to
listen to the complaint and make an
adjustment.
Several OF the dealers gave instances
of the delays encountered in getting the
grain to market, one remarking that
grain he shipped from his stetion was
delayed in transit FIVE weeks before 1t
reached the terminal point, and as a
result the market had dropped Ii
cents, which brought about quite @
deficit In his business.
A question that was taken up and
upon which a resolution was adopted
was that Of making a request OF the
weighing departments at the terminal
points to notify shippers when. q car
was received that was In a leaky con-
dition. Cases are numerous, the deal
ers say Of cars beng sent out for IAN
ding grain where holes permitted the
grain 10 leak out, producing a shortage
at the other end.
The inspection OF grain In Minneapo-
lis was handled quite vigorously by
the dealers. Wheat which is graded
and bought for No. 2 in South Dakota
Is graded No. 3 when 1t reaches the
Minneapolis market, and 1t appears to
them that 1t is unnecessary discrim-
in.tion against this territory, and for
this reason much of the wheat is d.
verified to the Chicago market, where q
better grade Is received.
