Excerpt from The American Elevator and Grain Trade, Vol. 10: December 15, 1891 It may seem incredible that Brockman, the St. Louis commission man, should have advanced before discovering the alleged fraud, but he says it was all done within a period of two or three weeks. The magnitude of the business may be inferred from the fact that there were eighty-three cars of grain on track at Council Bluffs in one day recently. The Union Elevator at that point seems to have been the key to the scheme attributed to the Browns, and a very convenient one it was. The Brown Bros. Have had a through rate, with the privilege of stopping the grain at the Union Elevator to be cleaned and then reshipped. Brockman charges that in some cases the Browns had grain shipped to the Union. Elevator for Brown Bros. Of St. Louis, in care of Brown Bros., Omaha. On the bills of lading the Browns drew on the St. Louis man and got their cash. After the grain had been cleaned at the elevator it was reshipped over one of the Iowa roads to Chicago or Baltimore, the Browns claiming that they could get better prices East than at St. Louis. Brockman had an agreement under which he was to receive a half a cent a bushel commission on all grain handled by the Browns, so he didn't care where it was sold. He now charges that a great deal of this g.ain has disappeared, that he has not been paid by the Eastern buyers, and that the Browns have not reimbursed him. He concludes that. In reshipping the grain the Browns _got new bills of lading from the Iowa roads, and used them in making drafts on the Eastern buyers, thus apparently getting double price for the grain, and letting Brockman whistle for his money.
