RATES ON FOOD PRODUCTS.



The Interstate Commerce Commission
has issued its order for the reduction of
rates on food products, based on its re.
port sent to the Senate June : 1890.
The order Is accompanied by copy
of that report also the opinion Of the
Commission, OverrulinG the protest and
motions Of the roads TO dismiss for want
of jurisdiction This opinion reviews
the powers and duties Of the Com
mission in the matter of beginning and
conducting investigations, and the Com
mission holds its proceedings legally
sufficient and the reductions necessary
TO make the rates reasonable
TIE reductions made apply only to
corn, oats. wheat and flour carried from
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska
10 Chicago, St. Louis aud the Missis.
sppi River The reduced rates are
from the Missouri River to Chicago on
corn and oats II cents, and wheat and
flour 20 cents per 100 pounds. From
Kansas and Nebraska points, corn, lS
10 23 wheat, u to 81 cents. Reduc-
tinns extend 200 miles in Nebraska and
2j0 miles In Kansas from the Missouri
River Where rates are fractional, the
roads may charge even cents, which
considerably modifies the reductions.
No reductions are required which will
leave the roads less than 81 mills per
ton per mile for hauls not longer than
500 miles, nor less than 3 mills for any
distance.
As to rates east Of the Mississippi the
Commission says:
The rates from Chicago and from
St Louis and the Mississippi River now
charged on corn, oats, wheat and flour
to the eastern seaboard are not found
to be excessive; the charges on other
principal food products between the
Mississippi and the seaboard are In
volved in pending complaints heard on
petition and answer, and therefore no
orders as to these rates and charges will
be now issued -
