T w o N E W H ltch ell 3 1-4 trucks M i. Wood worth related the history of tbe Pacific Coast E levator Company, which represented an investmewt of nearly ||,(MMI,(KfO made several year ago by b. If . Peavey A Co., ol Minneapolis, in term inal and country elevators for handling bulk grain in Portland and trib u ta ry points. The term inal elevator at Portland h a d e capacity of I .(MW.OtIO buaiiels and was ca|Mibie of handling from Km to JfMl car» of bulk wheat per day, but »lien it burned iu IRV5 it wa» not being used to any great extent, are therefore it was not re b u ilt, because there was no demand for such facilities sliape, me aud will be sold at a bargin competition having forced Peavey A Co. to handle their export shipment in sacks. The company practically abandoned the use >• elevators in the country except or tbe storage of grain in sacks aud wa« forced to build Hat waiehouses. M r. W ord worth called attention to tbe fact that these country elevators were now owned by tbn Portland Flouring M ill» Co , who also bad facilities for receiving Imlk shipments at Tacoma and K rerett and suggested th a t if there wa» so mu?h advantage in ibe hadling of bulk wheat, it was rather strange that the Portland Flouring M ills Company had not estab lished a fixer! difference in the price of bulk aud as« ked wheat received nt couutry stations, which would induce farmers to deliver tile wheat in bulk. He adm itted th a t conditions have I greatly changed «inc* Peavey A Co made th e ir exp erim ent, th a t a larger proportion of tire gram is m illed and a •m a ile r proportion exported to Kurope. ami ot ttiat of the portion exported a large percentage of it is cleaned at ter minals He thought a il of those coudi tions favorer! hulk handling and that the business would gradually change to tbe bulk basis, but noliody could force the result, slid the farmers must lead in any change, it having bee» admitted that they could generally find a pur chaser for tbe wheat which they de livered in hulk, the term inal mills and exporters always M u g ready to receive bulk wheat w lieu »hip|>ed .
