Southern Paciflc's Use OF OIL.

General Manager Kruttschnitt OF the
Huntington lines has the following to say
about the use OF oil on the Southern Paci-
fic for fuel: "We have all along worked
with view of being entirely indepsnd
ent from the oil supply in Southern Cali
fornin. We have certain supplies Of coal.
but are willing to put oil burners on loco
motives when the prce of oil Is salts
factory. When 1t rises above certain
price, as was the case in June and July,
we simply take the burners off and return
to coal The large production has de-
creased the price; We have bought consid-
cradle quantities OF oil, and have at the
present time eleven locomotives equipped
birnirg It. We have never been willing
to surrender to the oil interests our supply
Of fuel and shall cease burning oil IL they
raise the price to a figure where no econ
omy will result; conversely, we shall use
1t is long as the price remains reasonable"

MOVEMENT OF GRAIN.
1t VIII Not BE as Heavy This Year
M Was Expected.


Galveston. Texas. October 6.--That the
movement Of grain TO Galveston will be
heavier than ever before in the history OF
this port is not what was expected. Several
reasons are assigned for this. the most
plausible of which Is the opposition and
activity of the Chicago and Eastern lines.
The Santa Fe is taking the bulk of its
grain to Chicago and the assumption is
that 1t is doing so because 1t derives more
revenue from moving it in that direction.
Eastern lines are also energetcally fight
ing to regain and maintain control of the
business.
One thing should be taken into consid-
Grafton, however, in this matter, which
has so far escaped notice down here. and
which will no doubt have a big Influence
on the movement of grain. Lake maviga-
tlon will be practically suspended early In
November. The lakes it is true, will be
open to navigation then. but the insurance
companies will take into account the ad
dltiOnal risk from winter and will with
draw from the business. The withdrawal
Of insurance will stop the business like
an nsurmountable wall. as no kind OF
cheap freight rates will tempt a shipper IL
he can not cover his grain with insurance.
A set of documents with an insurance poll
Icy lacking on lake shipment would BIO
turned down by the most reckless banker.
With the closing OF lake navigation. up
will go the rates by rail and the gulf lines
Will then find it to their interest to gobble
up the business.
Those in the eest positlcI to Judge think
that early in November the movement to
the gulf will become heavier than was
ever known.
The Texas grain crop, or at least such
of 1t as has been sold, has been taken by
the mills and practically none of 1t has
as yet been exported.
