dressed to the traffic managers of railroads

cattle to the eastern markets for reduc-
tion in cattle freight rates has been denied,
says the Stockgrowers journal. They de-
cline to make any change in the established
rates for various feasons which they allegs;
among them one. which if correct, would
seem to dispense with all others, namely,
that they cnnnot afford it. Then they 90
Oh to say that tho lower rates were put in
several years ago as q temporary relief from
and were not q permanent basis. For
various reasons the rates havo never
been restored. and during the in-
term the conditions have SO changed
through the general adoption of
palace stock cars and the greater ex-
actions in the service demanded. that the
expenses of the railroads in handling the
stock have been very materially Increased.
and they do NOS feel that tho rates estab-
lished are fairly remunerative as compared
with other rates. and believe that the slight
advance made this season was imperative
for railroad interests. The letter of denial
WAS signed by the taf1io managers of the
Northern Pacific and Great No thern and
the general freight nRents of tho Fremont Il
Elkhorn and B. & M. railroads.
