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 .
