by TIA who took passage by the Mil

Peoria has a special charter granted

The matter of the diversion Of the
Western grain trade from the Atlantic
seaboard cities to those of the Gulf
Coast has become Of vital interest to a
large circle of shippers and commits
sion men. 1t involves grave business
consequences to the railroads as Well as
the ship-owners and the commission
men. The bulletin of the Statistical
Bureau for Oct. 5 sets forth that the
grain receipts at Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore for August
showed a gain of nearly 100000 bush
els over the corresponding month of last
year. Correspondence there was a
heavy loss at New Orleans, San Fran
cisco and Tacoma. Galveston, on the
other hand, showed heavy increase.
OF the 1000, 000-bushel increase on the
Atlantic Coast New York's share was
nearly 100000 bushels, while Phila-
delphia's was little over 100000
bushels and Boston's 100000 bushels.
San Francisco's receipts fell off 100000
bushels and New Orleans's nearly 900
900 bushels. During the present year
the Atlantic ports have handled over II
per cent Of the entire grain exports,
where last year their proportion was
but 81 per cent.
