B. & H. Elevator Shipping Cora Here From Chicago.

W. C. Babcock, of the firm of Babcock & Hopkins, made a trip to Louisville last week to sell some soft com unfit for the eastern market. It is being used in Kentucky for the purpose of manufacturing alcohol and Mr. Babcock understands that a number of distilleries are now engaged in making alcohol for export to Europe to supply needs of the European war. He was also informed that only No. 2 and No. 3 com are used inKentucky for the making of Bour bcm? whiskey,but any oTd grade is all right for making the alcohol that goes for export. Kentuckians, who are judges of good whiskey, say that the soft com makes a mouldy whiskey, the kind that leaves a bad taste in the mouth the morning after. During the past three weeks Babcock & Hopkins have been shipping in corh from Chicago, drying and grading it. They have been working night and day forces and have handled upwards of 50 cars. The better grades are shipped to the east. '
