MONDAY. May Up. VI.
This mornings TRIBUNE printed telegram from
Chicago stating that the Chicago Committee oil the Cen
tral Traffic Association had decided to furnish TO th'
public no more weekly statements OF the through ship
ments OF grain -four and provisions Tuis result was
clearly foreshadowed three weeks ago when the usuai
of shipments by each line was refused Tor
publication. Tho statements never have had any Vaue
at this season year. when the water routes were
open sure index OF whether or not the r-
roads were maintaining their schedule rates
II at this season the shipments were
large, IT positively certain thaV tue
railroads carrying at below tile rates by water
and that therefore they receiving the cost OF
hauling If they small IL Indicated that rates were
maintained that such grain they were reporIei
as carrying was points not reached By the water
routes The effect however. of tue discontnuance OF
the weekly reports "a they have been begun ana
continued for five years, is bad. and perhaps IL s IN
tended that it shall bad; Wall Street has it that all
Chicago officials are siort Of stocks. Be that az II
may. the refusal to furnish informa-
ton ia regarded as the suppressug OF
poor returns, and the concealment OF the volume OF
very light shipments If1ss4 and $50 are to be re-
garled the standards the through shipinens tAis
year are light But years not tho Standard
Every buhel Of grain carried by the railroads In those
years did not return the railroads gross earnings
equal to the expense Of handling the stuff so far this
year. from January l. the railroad movement OF grain
out OF Chicago has been equal to that OF any year "hen
rates we're maintained paying basis except IN ye"Ts
Of an extraordinary foreign demand notwithstanding
the refusal of the officials OF the Central Trac Assocla
on to furnish the information, 1t leaks out today IN
Chicago that last weeks movement amounted to 1880
tons exclusive that by the Chicago and Atlantic Ihis
may or may not be correct-he lack OF official lniorpa
