New Orleans, Aug 2Discovery that this port is supplying the allied armies In France with wheat was made public when it became known 2, 100000 bushels of grain were ship ped abroad Wednesday, and Thursday. A still larger quantity of grain is now being rushed aboard the fleet of forI eign ships which up to three days ago had been lying off AIgiers.
 Efforts of foreign stea nshfp agents to conceal the fact were unavaiIing The agents shut up like clans when the subject was broached and it was necessary to obtain special sperEnis- sion of the Collector of the Port to obtain facts.
 Simu1tane ously with this discovery came news that the. Illinois Central and other roads had lifted their em- bargo on grain and that inst cad Of its being held back it is being rushed here as fast as train can carry it.
 Besides the grain, it developed that 1, 500, 900 gallons of oil was shipped Thursday to the coast of France for use by the French and British fleets. The grain, as well as the oil, was placed on board English and French ships The majority Of the grain shipments, which broke all previous shipping records, was booked for France.
 Grain dealers here have prepared to ship to Antwerp 8, eo0.e00 bushels from the stock of wheat stored in made by L. De yVaele. Belgian Con- sul General at this port. Through him the announcement came that the Belgian authorities would see to il that drafts for wheat are prompt1y paid
