BIDS FOR GRAIN SHIPMENTS
New York Seeks to Recover Her Former
Grain Trade.
RAILROADS TO LEND A HELPING HAND
Concessions to Steamships to Hiring
the Export Grniu Trade Back
TO thnt Port-Eric Rond
Leads on.

NEW YORK Jan. 6.-Eastern railroads
have at last decided to take d hand in re-
storing the grain trade OF New York which
during the last Two years has been slipping
away to southern ports on accounts OF the
prohibitive terminal charges here. These
terminal charges were made the basis OF the
complaint which the New York Produce Com
mission exchange filed with the Interstate
Commerce commission with view to com
Polling the roads to grant the same facilities
to steamship companies that arc granted at
Baltimore, Newport News and other ports.
No charge at all is made at some OF the
southern ports. The indications now are
that the desired result will be brought about
voluntarily by the roads, who see that the
business interests OF this city are Identical
with their own and that they have been
heayy losers by refusing to offer as good
facilities to shippers as the southern roads
DO. 1t is not known that the Joint Traffic
association has taken definite action, though
there Is thorough understanding in regard
to the action of several of the roads. The
steamship Edwin is now taking a cargo of
100000 bushels of corn at the Erie grain
elevator in Jersey City 1t goes to Cork
Ireland. The corn was shipped from the
west and II is said to be expressed on
through bill of lading.
The incident is important, because this is
said to be the first large steamship that has
loaded at a railroad elevator in this vicinity
Tor number OF years, although common
thing for smaller craft. the extra charge
diverted business from New York and there
was not business enough to keep the slips
at the elevators dredged for large steamships.
Tho elevators, as IL by a concerted plan,
have recently dredged out their slips and
are apparently preparing to resume their
wonted activity in the export grain trade.
INN OF Of ha in fppf,
the elevators intended for export has been
imposed for the loading. In the opinion
of grain men the invitation to large ships
to come to the elevators means nothing
less than the Offering Of free loading or some
concessions equivalent to this which may
be granted to the shipper in the west. 1t
il believed also at the Produce exchange
that the action of the Erie is simply the
beginning of a program for beating the south
ern railroads at their own game, at which
all of the other trunk lines will take a
part, and that they are prepared to get bust
ness as best they may

N. Y. Plumbing company. Tel. $50.
Sues the city of erosion.

Suit will be filed in the federal court this
morning by the American Loan and Trust
company against the city OF Creston for
$11 800 claimed TO be due for water rentals.
The water works of Creston are owned by
w. b. Willard and several other Omaha men,
is pledged to the Trust company for the
payment of the interest on the bonds which
1t holds against the company which brings
the Trust company In as plaintiff. For sey-
eral years the city OF Creston has been de-
linquent In the payment of water tax. The
valuation Of the city Is about 81 600, 900,
and, according to the law of the state a
levy of 5 mills is allowed for water tax.
This only netted a revenue to the city for
this purpose of about $1,000, which has left
a balance due for some time. Over year
ago the American Loan and Trust company
obtained a judgment against the city OF
Creston for $500 on the same grounds. The
case has ben appealed to the supreme court
and Is now pending. The case was tried be-
fore Judge Towner at Creston, in the dis
trct court. The amounts now being sued for
are the rentals that have accumulated since
the commencement OF the first suit.
The defense of the city Of Creston is
based on the fact that the state law does
not allow OF a greater levy for the purpose
OF meeting the water tax Of municipal cor
porations than mills. II Is also claimed
that at certain times of the year the COM
pany has failed to furnish the proper supply
OF water,

PLAN TO REDUCE THE EXPENSES


For several months past two propositions
to cut down expenses in the operation of
the passenger departments of several western
roads have been under consideration. One
is to withdraw the ticket agents from uptown
offices in Council Bluffs. The other is to
abolish the ticket offices near the UnCn depot
in Kansas City. Neither proposition has sue
ceeded in the past because OF failure Of all
the roads interested in the matter to agree
to close their ticket offices at the places
mentioned.
The matter Is on the call for next Mon
days meeting of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION. Two months ago when the same
matter was considered the Wabash and the
Rock Island roads refused to agree to It.,
and IL fell through 1t is understood that
the Union Pacific is also opposed to the move.

PLAN TO USE THE SURPLUS CORN
Iowa Farmers Ask the Railroads for
Observation-Disclosures Rntes.


DIES MONIES, Jan ESPECIAL Teegram.)
Henry Wallace today appeared before the
Board of Railway Commissioners to present
plan for disposing of the surplus corn of
Iowa. The board was holding hearing, and
number of prominent railroad men were
present. Mr.. Wallace simply asks that the
railroads grant feeding-in-transit rates, so
that stock cattle can be brought into Iowa
at low rates from the west and southwest
FED on cheap corn and sent on when fattened
to their destination. He shows that the
state is short of all kinds of stock; half its
hogs have died of cholera. the number OF
cattle Is lower than in many years, and there
Is larger amount OF corn than ever known
before, with no market in sight. The plan
was promptly endorsed by the railroad men
and commissioners. The former agreed to
lay 1t before their companies, and the latter
will use their influence TO have the rates put
in, Mr., Wallace and a number OF Iowa rail
road men will go to Chicago soon to present
the matter to the general officers of the
roads

hours late. AS the train carried dining
car none OF the passengers went hungry, and
as the steam was kept up none of them were
