the theory that disturbances in the san
u unusual atmospheric disturbances

so-called snn-spots have very little if
any connection with our great wind

that these terrific storms are caused by
a collision Of warm and cold currents Of
air, especially in the springtime, fol-
the advance of the warm weather

Grain freights from Chicago to /

Grain freights from Chicago to the
seaboard are at the lowest point ever
known. The Gfssssen-cent rate per
hundred pounds is for the time being
the regular one, the twelve-and-a-hal
cent rate is reported, and is not re-
ceiyed with incredulity. These rates
barely pay the cost of hauling, and leave
nothing Of interest charges or the low
est conceivable returns for capital actu-
al invested. This is said to be in ac-
cordance with the predictions Of twelve
years ago. As suggested with much
force, that the stock watering and APP
parent monopoly could be remedied by
the building Of certain lines Of state
railways, which, though likely 10 be q
