In volume over the production OF ten years

NOW In Eject.
The rates named recently by the
board OF arbitration In the adjustment
OF complications existing between the
Gulf ports and Atlantic seahoard on
grain rates from the Northwest. are
now ia full force and effect. Texas
lines have all lsgued their schedules OF
the new rates, and while some little
time must elapse before the new ar
Is fully comprehended, yet
enough has already been made known
70 establish the fairness and equity OF
the action taken.
In the matter of the complaint filed
by the Missouri Pacific and the city OF
New Orleans, the general impression
among railway people Is that the Cres-
cent city snuealed before she really
felt any pain. New Orleans claims that
there are certain unjust discrimlna-
tons In favor OF Galveston, while there
are numerous Instances whore New
Orleans has been greatly benefited.
II is New Orleans misfortune to be
located little farther away from the
grain territory than Galveston, and 1t
should not be expected that the Texas
port should enjoy no advantages
1t Is claimed. too, that Galveston
now has 22 feet OF water over her bar,
and the channel is being steadily deep
ened. Other Texas ports are coming
into prominence. and with them are
coming now lines of steamships, that
will certainly render exports through
Texas ports no longer theory, but an
actual fact.
