A DECREASE IN TONNAGE
THROUGH BUSINESS FALLS OFF, Lo-
CAL TRAFFIC INCREASES.
No Further Reduction of PennsyIva-
mia Expenses-RaiIrOad Earnings
miscellaneous Notes.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis in
the week ending June 10 a total of p, 561
cars, 1925 being loaded a falling off in
loaded car movement as compared with the
week ending June u of $40 loaded cars. This
falling off was entirely in through business,
as with all lines local traffic of late has
been steadily improving, and the decrease
is chiefly in through east-bound freghts.
Shipments of corn and cerealine products
have fallen off materially the last few
days while shipments of provisions, hides,
dressed meats and live stock have been
heavy for June. So far as west-bound is
concerned in the highest class freights the
last few days there has been a lighter
movement, while in heavy groceries, such
as sugar, molasses and salt, the tonnage is
rather above the usual June volume, the
advancing of prices on sugars so frequently
of late having brought about q large de-
mand. In iron structural work, railway
supplies and machinery there is q good deal
of business doing. Engines and threshers
and other harvest implements still form
quite an item in business moving West and
South. Local business is reaching quite
a satisfactory volume. Seldom has there
been week in which more freight of
miscellaneous character has been handled
at the city freight depots, both in and out
bound. On Saturday the Big Four, which
has very large freight houses on
South Delaware street, was really cramped
for room, and considerable planning was
necessary to handle the business with any
degree of ease. The same was true at the
Pennsylvania freight depots, and on the
bulk tracks of all lines more was done last
week than the
years, it having been one of the banner
weeks with commission merchants. Freight
agents, without exception, report a marked
increase in business, both in and outbound,
since the first of the month. Agent Rod
ney, of the Vandalia, states that it is
long time since they have handled in any
one week as large a tonnage of freight as
last week, and agents report the outlook
for Improvement as unusually promising.
Below is given the car movement of the
week ending June 49, and for the corre-
cnordipy yar;odc of 1909 aY1 1oo5.

Discrimination Is JustifiabIe.

The freight bureau of the Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce made a complaint
to the Interstate-commerce Commission
several months ago, alleging discrimination
in freight rates by the Southern roads
against Cincinnati and in favor of Louis
Vile. A decision has just been rendered by
the Interstate-commerc Commission
against the Cincinnati mccchants. The COM
mission admits that discrimination exists,
but holds that the discrimination is justif-
able The following is brief of the decision:
1.-The location of Cincinnati upon the
north bank of the Ohio river, and the fact
that railroads leading south must cross that
river by expensive bridges, for which an
arbitrary or toll is charged or allowed in
the division rates, justify some higher diff
ferential from Cincinnati over rates from
to destination points in so-called Mont
gomery and Southwestern territory W nile
existing differentials which result in higher
freight rates from Cincinnati than from
Louisville to Montgomery territory and
Southwestern territory may, as whole,
discriminate against Cincinnati, the in
equality arises if it exists through combina-
tions Of rates to Cincinnati and Louisville
from territory north of the Ohio river with
rates from those points south. There is no
showing whether the fault lies with rates
the carriers operating north of the river Is
a party to this proceeding. 1t fairly ap-
pears on the other hand, that II such diff
ferentials were entirely abolished the rates
from a large section north OF the Ohlo
would be against Louisville.

CIew to a Money-order Thief.

MARION, Ind, June 19.-At Belmore, O.,
last week 124 money orders were stolen
from the postotfice. The numbers ranged
from 2576 to 1900. This morning a stranger
presented at the Golden Eagle clothing
store a money order drawn on Marion, and
ostensbly made at Belmore. The salesman
was suspicious, and telephoned the post
master here who, on learning that the
number of the order was 25s4 instructed
the store people TO have the man arrested,
but the delay in the use of the telephone
excited the suspicion of the stranger who
had departed before the officers could be
reached. The order called for Sl2; made
payable to Charley Conkey, at Marion,
Ind. and bore the name Of e. p. George,

A Model FIGURING Mill,

The Acme Milling Company, which has
for several weeks been remodeling one of
its mills, completed the new work on
Thursday of last week and started up the
practically new mill and found it to be a
great success. In the remodeling some
ideas Of Arthur C. Gillette, general man
ager of the mills and the millers with him
have been introduced, which are proving
to be valuable additions. This mill win
manufacture flour from either winter or
spring wheat. The capacity of the remod-
eled mill is 1,400 barrels of flour every
twenty-four hours, and with mill No. 2 the
Acme Milling Company can now readily
manufacture $500 barrels of flour a day.
Expert millers who have examined the new
mill express the opinion that it would be
hard to improve on it. There are larger
mills, but none more perfect in construc-
ton in every detail This mill will be run
cleaning UP old stock and any wheat which
may come in before harvest. Mr.. Gillette
says he does not look for much new wheat
to come in before the middle of July.

"Well,' said Edward Cornelius, president

things are beginning to come our way
again. Orders are coming in more freely,
and with each week we are increasing our
force While not up to the maximum of
three hundred men, it is working to that
point We have got out some new patterns
which seem to take, and in certain lines
we are pressed with orders, and while we
do not want to brag much, 1t is no eXag-
geration to state that our business is
steadily improving and now in excess of
the corresponding period last year.
