The Mail ana ExDreas' view Of the
Renewal Of the Lone STAR
Mallory Fight.

Galveston. Texas. October 21.--when
yellow fever was announced here by Ex-
pert Guiteras the Eastern rail lines and
the water routes from Western grain dis
tributlng points at once Jumped at the
conclusion that the last Southern outlet
for grain had been or would be blocked
by guarantees and they popped up their
rates accordingly. But in this they reck-
oned little too soon. az 10 shown by the
fact that large amount Of grain which
might otherwise have gone out through
Eastern seaports is now loaded and headed
for Galveston. This is particularly true
Of the Santa Fe, which road was bringing
In little or no grain prior to the Guiteras
discovery, but which now has large
amount EN- route and arriving daily. What
action the Eastern lines have taken since
they discovered their error has not de-
veloped at this end Of the line. blu; they
will most likely undertake to do away
with the effect OF their hasty action.
In the meantime they have taught the
exporter what is to be expected should the
Southern ports be closed for any length
Of time and this will likely make f,r CAL
veston's interest and the interests OF ether
ports as well. So after all 1t is shown Tia
an III wind that blows nobody good.
