FIGHT FOE LOWER RATES.

ST. Louis, Dec. AIT IL meeting of the
board of directors of the st. Louis Cotton
Exchange it was decided to make n fight
for II reduction Of freight rates on cotton
from the Southwest to this city. The
transportation committee has had the
matter under consideration for some
time, and the reports have been sub
mitted to the board OF directors. The re.
port will not be made public until it has
been presented to the meeting of mer-
chants, manufacturers and bankers,
which has been called to discuss general
freight rates Affecting St. Louis The
cotton men say that cotton has to bear
the brunt OF the operating expenses of
the railroads that top the Southwest, the
rate being fully double that of any other
commodity of like bulk and value, aver.
aging about 10 per cent OF it's market
value.

our sad loss that the survivors of that
great conflict of arms which shed such
glory upon the citizen soldiers of our be-
