Grain and Flour Rates.

There is an anxiety in milling circles
about the advance on grain and flour rates
OF 20 cents per 100 pounds to Chicago,
which takes effect to-day. A few are still
inclined to believe that the advance is not a
bona tide one, and that the order of Com
missioner German will be countermanded in
a few DAYS On this sentiment transit.
which was selling d few days since at 16H
cents has dropped to 15H and 154 cents.
The railroad companies interested state
that the advance will be made, and that 1t
will be made to keep but to keep a rate IN
the face Of cutting by other lines IS not rail-
reading. One railroad cannot MAINTAIN
tariff when its next door neghbor is dis
counting it by several per cent. If it wants
any business. the righteous must do as the
unrghteous does, for the latter Is always
the favored one by shippers. At this time
of the season, when navigation is about
closing. the Chicago roads generally make
an advance, but other seasons they were
not so peculiarly situated as they are this.
The Minnesota & Northwestern road was
not then running into st. Paul, and of this
road the Northwestern Traffic association
lines are afraid. They are afraid the Min
nesOta & Northwestern will not live up to
and maintain a seventeen and-a-half-cent
rate to Chicago, and that it will work mis-
chief. A certain official said Yesterday:
They are all alike, the Chicago lines;
all fighting to break each others neckS, and
it is my opinion that the Northwestern
Traffic association was never in greater
danger of falling to pieces. They do not
work in harmony and cannot continue as
an association without some reformation. L
have learned that all of these roads have had
their agents around the mills at Minneapo-
lis making contracts for enough business to
keep them going all winter at Is cents to
Chicago. and there is not one of these roads,
the Milwaukee & st. Paul, the Omaha or
the Minneapolis & ST. Louis which
has not over a months business contracted
ahead at the fifteen-cent rate. Anything con-
tracted and taken after the 1st will most
probably be taken at 1715 cents The Min
nesota & Northwestern is taking fair
share of the business. There is such a
great amount of -four for points east of Chi
cago that the Chicago lines find it utterly
impossible to take it away as fast as it is
thrown upon them and the Minnesota Il
Northwestern comes in ard helps them.
The Traffic association cannot continue
long without enlisting the Minnesota u
Northwestern in its ranks. The new road
is bound to have some business, if it does
have to cut the rates to get it, and if 1t does
there is nothing left for the other lines but
TO do likewise"

Bluff, hale and hearty old DR.. Murphy!
The poor doff their hats to him, the little
children curtsey to him, even the little
birds send up their sweetest songs as he
passes by, with his amputating saw in one
hand and his bottle of anasthetics in the
other, elnblematic of severity tempered
with mercy. 1t is said, however. that
sometimes when the doctor is called upon
to perform painful surgical operation in
an emergency requiring quick action, he
doesn't even send for a bottle of chloro-
form, but instead tells the patient one of
his funny stories. which renders him insen-
sible to the cuttings OF che knife. If ever
a Republican mayor is elected in st. Paul,
the GLOBE will reproduce the above cut.

Steamship agents Meet.

A meeting Of the steamship agents IN ST.
Paul and Minneapolis was held in the office
of A. E. johnson on Friday evening to dis
cuss emigrant rates from the Northwest.
Reports have been telegraphed from Chi
cago that the rates were cut in st. Paul by
parties who sold over the Milwaukee IL st.
Paul road, but at the meeting there APP
peared different sentiment, all believing
that the cutting was done at Chicago. As
a result of the cutting at Chicago. the local
steamship agents decided that they were no
longer justified in adopting and. enforcing
the proposed agreement to maintain rates.
