1t seems that the low rates American roads
ARE carrying business at is affecting the roads
OF foreign countries. The last circular Of A +.
Turner & Co, London capitalists, says: THE
railway rate question in Great Britain Is at
tracting great attention, and would have un-
doubtsdly come into much greater prominence
had it not been, as with most other economical
and social questions obscured by the cloud of
war troubles which have arisen. Land itself in
England, once close monopoly, has been placed
by outside steamer and railway communication
he competitive contact with vast areas of pre-
duction, and extremely-low- priced land all over
the giobe-bat especially in the United States
The result has necessarily been an enormous
gLrinkage in value-frst. in that of the land t.
self; secondly, in that of its product.
The reduction has now extended TO
oil allied undertakings and, in the
natural course Of events, must also extend

and the diminuton in farmers profits these rates

Freight Business.

Not for many years in June has freight traf-
&c been so low in tonnage as the present
month. The train records show that the fifteen
roads last week received and forwarded at this
point but Il, 737 loaded cars OF 600 less loaded
ears than in the last week of April or The first
week in May, and, what is worse, on the
through business rates are 20 per cent.
lower than when the heavier traffic was in prog.
ress. AS 80 per cent. of the decrease is in
through east and west shipments. in which di-
Rections rates are the most demoralized, it
becomes quite evident that low rates do not,
certainly at the present time increase traffic. if
low rates do AS there is but little inquiry for
ears to load, it would seem that the present
depression will continue, at least until the new
wheat crop begins to move. West-bound bust
ness is light, but no lighter than usual in June.
Another month of light west bound tonnage may
De expected. North and south roads show some
decrease in business, but not SO sharp as with
the east and west lines. Freight agents of north
and south lin 8 deserve credit that they are Sc.
curing SO good rates on freights carried as com
pared with the corresponding period last year.
Local traffic is fully up to the average June volume
