This rate was made by the Santa Fe

souri, Kansas and Texas, better known
as the Katy" ard viii doubtlessly be
met by the other lines.
The reduction to Galveston and ex-
port rates is cents per hundred, max
ing the present rate on wheat q cents
and on corn IL cents.
To Chicago a fiat rate is given which
will be understood by all shippers,
which makes the rate on wheat and mill
stuff of Is cents and on corn II cents
per hundred.
The same rate is given from Kansas
City to Newton from Galveston, and
from Newton to Galveston. so that all
stations within a radius of 100 miles of
Wichita can figure the present rate, af-
ter the reduction of cents which was
caused by the great reduction made by
the Frisco, and which was met by the
other lines and now add another
cents cut and you have the present
rate.
The greatest reduction is made to Chi
cago which an Will recognize as a
move by the northern and eastern
markets to try and reclaim the grain
trade Of Kansas which instead of GO
ing TO the east has gone to the south.
By the present rate a large shipment
or Hour and mill stuff will doubtlessly
Oe sent to Chicago and eastern markets
where former contracts does not inter-
fere.
With anything like customary inf1u-
ences this should send the prices of
grain upward, but owing to the string
ency OF the money market, but little
prospect of an advanct was spoken Of
or contemplated by the grain men.
A large number of buyers are on the
market and while the price of corn only
advanced Y cent yesterday the demand
was strong and holders of grain were
stimulated. Under ordinary circum-
stances, with the drouth and the cut
ting short of corn in Nebraska, Iowa
and Missouri, added to the failure in
the south, taken with the reduction of
10 cents per hundred in freight rates
corn should have advanced almost 10
cents per bushei
Holders of corn are still confident of
raise in the price and the demand
was greater than the supply
