SHIPMENT BODY TO MEET

Warning that an embargo on grail,
shipments to Duluth-S Superior and
probably TO Minneapolis may be
placed Monday was issued to North
Dakota farmers and elevator men to-
day BY c. w. Mcdonnell, chairman
Of the state railroad board.
Mcdonnell today was informed that
the Duluth local terminal grain COM
mission at q meeting Sept. l8 recon-
mended IN embargo on shipments to
Duluth Superior.
Stocks at Head-of Lakes elevators
on Sept. 10 were 32.968, 600 bushels.
The elevators had empty space for
2.780. 900 bushels but cars on the track
totaled 3,267 900 bushels In addition to
1874 carloads. or approximately
5000 900 bushels more, were In transit
destined for Duluth.
On Sept. IL. stocks at Minneapolis
totaled 43. .703 SOS bushels which. after
deducting 10 per cent for working
space and adding 1904 900 bushels
for 1856 cars on track Sept. II. left a
shortage Of 5,O39 .295 bushels OF avail
able space In public warehouses.
This was partly offset by private
elevators but even when their capac-
ity was considered the net shortage
Of storage facilities ct Minneapolis
was placed at 6l6, ,753 bushels. In ad-
dition. 1.644 cars were in transit to
Minneapolis.
From this showing, Mcdonnell said.
It appear probable that the grain
