IMMENSE RUSH

Philadelphia: What is probably the greatest movement of grain the world has ever witnessed is now in progress, impetus being given to the movement by the impending close of navigation on the great lakes.
 IL Philadelphia, not only are all the elevators filled to their ut most capacity, but there are more than 1000 cars of grain On the railroad tracks awaiting their turn to unload.
 In addition to the regular trans Atlantic liners, known commercial ly as whole cargo carriers, 20 steamers are due at this port to load grain. In all the westward bound fleet headed for Philadelphia has a carrying capacity of more than 5,OOO,OOO bushels.
 Ocean freight rates continue to advance daily. Rumors are current that the Italian government will soon call many of her vessels home for war purposes This would iR- tensify ths lack of tonnage.
