Elevator Charge Cut Threatens Great Northern System
Rumors say Great Northern Elevator Company controlled by J. S. Hill will slash handling and storage charges by more than 50 percent, potentially triggering similar cuts among rivals. Elevators at West Superior handle 3,000,000 bushels. current rates are 11 4 cents per bushel for first 20 days and 1 1/2 cents for each 15 days thereafter. If enacted, wheat storage costs could fall dramatically and affect elevator values and competition around Minneapolis as crops approach harvest.
