patronage Of their customers they ind
establish fair and equitable rates, baee|
upon value of services rendered, and ~
upon mere Understandings with oppositia3

WHY GRAM IS SLOW.

The published statement that slathers OF
grain is gong "a Chicago and that Calves.
ton In particular and gulf ports In gem
oral are being euchered out OF the business
they should do in this line, is generally
denied In local grain circles.
Chicago is getting vast amount of
grain which Is going out via the Atlantic
seaboard and eastern points But il is
not true that this grain is being drawn
HON Galveston and gulf pert territory
III Is not hard to see why grain has been
slow to move through Galveston. In The
iirst place there has been too great a dis
crepancy between the European and Amer
lean markets to permit OF the exporters
doins much business. The American mar
kets have been sky-rocketing to such an
extent that European quotations have not
Kept M With the pace. The natural Sc
dhenoe Is that the exporter has been
practically out OF the market AS soon
as prices anchor at any fixed point and
quotations become stable and the European
and American markets get In touch with
one another there is bound to be a heavy
movement through this port.
Another reason is that rail lines in the
wheat belt have been using their cars to
rush grain from point OF production 10
the accommodating centers There the cars
have been unloaded and returned to the
farms. as the farmers have been rushing
their stun 10 market ever since the price
touched 30 cents AS Il result IL has been
impossible TO get cars TO move grain along
the long rOG." from Kansas City to the
gulf With IN ease In the demand for
cars for th.u purpose. there will be a loos-
ening-up In ito movement to the gulf.
