GRAIN SHIPMENTS HEAVY AT cHEswCLD
Despite the Fact That November Was a Rec.
ord Breaking Month Shipments Are Lively

CHEswoLD, Jan. IRA fair quantity
of cob corn is coming into our markets
for shipment. It is remembered that
through the month of November there
was a rush of corn into this market
which was then remarkable both for
the season as also the quantity deliv-
cred. The like of it was said never
to have been known before. The No
vember prices hung around so cents
per bushel shelled. The price now is
the same on the cob with shelled, two
cents lower. Farmers don't stop to
question or reason why the shelled
commands the higher prices one month
and the lower price another month but
sell as it suits them. Considering the
immense quantity delivered here from
the past years crop it is wondered
where yellow corn can be found in this
vicinity. In looking for precedent it
is said Boggs and Jefferson, buyers
here about 1880 bought and shipped SO
car loads in the month of December.
A car load of shelled corn then was
500 to 900 bushels whereas now a car
load ranges from 1000 to 1900 bushels.
Then shipping on cob was unknown.
Summing it all up, our farmers per-
haps never had better corn crops aud
at the same time as good prices as they
have so far realized from the crop of
