The Minnesota & Northwestern or
c., St. P. & K. G. railway IS again on
the war path. By their cut of last week
freight rates from Chicago are as follows:
1st class drops from so cents per hundred
to 80 cents; I'd from 40 to rs; 3rd from 80
to 20; 18th from 20 to AZ; 9Th from 123 to
IL. The line withdraws from all classif-
cation of western lines and adopts new
classification to be called the official -
This makes quite difference in freights;
for instance, agricultural implements in
car lots are changed from class A at ia
cents to 9Th class, at 10 cents per cwt.
Salt in car lots is cents per cwt. These
rates also effect St. Paul, Minneapolis
and Dubuque shipments to Austin, and
gives US better rates than Albert Lea or
DesMoines.
