RATES STIFFEp up
LAKE AND RAIL AND ALI, Raj,
PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN TO-
GETHER.
FIRST REPORTS CONFIRMED.
PORT RATES, HOWEVER, is
STILL UNSETTLED,
but SITUATION LOCKS BETTER.
Quiet Day Among the Local Rail-
way OGicers-Brainerd ~ North
ern Annual Meeting.

AdVices have been received in local
railroad circles confirming the state
ment sent out from New York to the
effect that the freight situation has
been Strengthened out for some time
at least. by the agreement reached by
the executives of both the rail and
lake and all-rail lines. In a nutshell
several of the home lines made rates
not less than % per cent under the
tariff and signed contracts which ex-
pire Jan. 1 with a number of local
houses.
The reduction brought the rate down
to the lake and rail figures, and the
latter lines were forced to lower their
scale to get business. The result was
the general Generalization of all rates.
The effect of this new agreement, 1t
is conceded, will clear the freight fir
mament, at least for the nonce. Local
Wholesalers who made contracts at re-
duced figures are naturally dfspleased
at the inability of the lines,
with which they signed, to
live up with the terms. The
matter of maintaining the export rates
is still greater and more vexed prob
lem, and local freight men will tell
you that 1t is not to be settled Off
band. The general state Of affairs is,
therefore, much helped, and the freight
men are on their way home.

500 ENTERS THE FIGHT.
Wants Some of the Elk Business
From st. Paul.

CHICAGO. July 1.-The Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul today made a report of the
action it has taken toward clearing the mar
ket of the tickets it issued from st. Paul and
Minneapolis TO the Atlantic seaboard to
compete with the rates made by the 500 line
The report shows that 210 of the tickets were
issued, of which 165 have been redeemed,
the others finding their way into the hands
of purchasers. None of the return portions
of the tickets have turned up as yet, and the
road agrees to redeem them at full tariff
rates when they put in an appearance.
The 500 line has entered into the fight
over the Elk business to st. Paul. 1t an
nounced today that on business from Mich
igan via Manistee, or via Mackinaw and Trout
Lake 1t will participate in rates where the
differences in rates regularly constructed for
this occasion is maintained against any rates

ROADS IN HOT WATER.
Proposed JObbers discussions Are
Causing n Peek of Trouble.

CHICAGO. July 2.-The Western roads have
an excellent prospect of getting into warm
water before the row over the proposition
to grant cheap rates to prospective pur-
chasers from city merchants is settled. Mayor
Harrison. of this city. has taken sides with
the merchants, and is using his best efforts
with the railroads in order to get them to
make the rates. On the other hand, the
jobbers in the medium-sized towns are flood
ing the roads with protests against granting
the demands Of the Chicago merchants. The
claim that the granting Of low fare will not
help the wholesalers at ALL as the. country
iobbers get their goods of them anyhow low
rates or high rates. They assert that the
only person to- derive any benefit from the
low rates will be the retailers in the large
cities and against this, they are prepared
to make a strong fight. The railroads, no
matter what they do or do not do, are GER
tain to make trouble for themselves.
