From the Atlanta Constitution.
There is still to be another rise in the

1t is claimed that within ten days ten

Ties were quoted at S1.40 per bundle
delivered in Atlanta yesterday In a
few days the price will be 81 so, accord
ing to those in a position to know. 1t is
claimed that the tie trust proposes to
carry the price to the highest notch.
Ties are now bringing more than
double what they did this time last year
according to the figures given out by tn o
dealers. The rise IS fully 100 per cent. !;
and the farmers Of the south are begin
