Tho railroads had hoped, with good
weather, to got in sonio of tho coal, but
tonight's storm moans that they will bo
unnblo to movo a pound for two or
threo days at tho best. Tho snow to
night is driven by a high wind, whloh
menus heavy drifting and increitsod
troublo for tho railroads.
Tho storm blockado is folt soriously
in tho grain and provision trade. This

grain actually within tho city limits.
It was assorted on tho Board of
Trndo that ono of tho western roads
leading out of Chicago has nioro thnn
S000 loaded cars of grain on its various
sidetracks, which it is totally unnblo to

an annual profit, but in rocont yoars, al
most without oxcoptlon, thore hns been
a deficit. So long ns tho deficit amount
ed to only a fow million dollars, and did
not increaso in proportion to tho growth
of the sorvlco, it attracted little atten

In thoso two items nlono tho postal

Tho most striking fact disclosed by

tno cost to tno government for its hand
