The Emergency Rate.

The railroads have at last agreed to
give the Kansas farmer a reduction on
the corn rate to eastern market points.
1t now remains to be seen whether the
farmers will get the benefit or the grain
dealers of Chicago and st. Louis. If
the former, an immediate rise in the
market price of corn should result.
Regarding the change made in the
freight schedule the Topeka Capital
says: All corn west of the Missouri
river is moved on the basis of through
rates from points in Kansas to st. Louis
and Chicago. The rate from the Mis-
souri, river to ST. Louis is Is cents and
to Chicago 20 cents. The maximum
proportion of the through rate from
points in Kansas to the Missouri river
added to the Missouri river to Chicago
makes the maximum through rates
from numerous points in the western
part of the state 80 cents per 100 pounds.
At numerous other points the through
rate to Chicago is 81 cents. These are
all reduced to the maximum of 25 cents
TO Chicago and 20 cents to st. Louis,
these being the highest rates to be
charged from the distant points in
Kansas. All other rates below the
maximum rates above named to be re-
duced upon graduated scale down to
20-cent through rate.
These reductions make an average
reduction for the whole state of 10 per
cent on the whole through rate. and
nearly 80 per cent reduction upon the
proportion of the through rate apply
ing to Kansas. That is upon the diff.
ference of the through rate from Kan
sas points to the Missouri river and the
rate from the latter point and St. Louis
and Chicago the cut is nearly so per
cent.
This, for example, is practically 5
cents for the longest haul in Kansas to
the Missouri river on a through haul,
and cents for 200 mile haul, and
less for less distances Grain sold at
the Missouri river is sold upon a basis
of this through rate, the price there
being based upon the Chicago price,
less the rate between the Missouri river
and Chicago.
