THE GRAIN RATE VAR
Some Traffic Men Believe the
 End Is Near.
THE NEXT CUT WILL END IT.

It Is surnised That the Rate to Chi
 cago Will Be Made So Low That
 Roads to Southern Ports Win Not
 Care to Handle Grain at Such a
 Heavy Loss.
 KANSAS CITY, July 28.-The grain rate war which has been waged for the past week will according to the state- ments of several leading traffic men of thls city practically be at an end when the next cut in rates is made. This, it is anticipated, will occur within lew days at most. One of the active lines wired from Chicago to its local rep resentatiye asking what rate would be required on wheat to hold it to Chicago markets as against the southern ports. The reply was that it would require 8 rate of cents per 100 fiat It is believed that such rate will be put in at once
 That rateis less than actual cost and 1t Is thought none of the lines will care to maintain it any great length of time When business is done at loss it will be matter of short time to get the managers in a conference for adjust ment. It is useless at the present time to discuss compromise. It is stated that the fight is on to finish.

 WICHITA, Kan, July 28.-The week just closed has witnessed the liveliest grain trade in southern and central Kansas that these sections have ex- perienced in years. Just now the bulk of the old corn from this section is go- ing to St. Louis and New Orleans, but dealers from northern, eastern and soutern points are all buying heavily. The shipments, while enormous, do not in any sense represent the business done, as very large amount of corn has been contracted for but is held, awaiting cars A great deal of corn is in unroofed cribs and on account of the recent heavy rains it is too wet to shell.
