The board of managers of the Joint Traf-
fic Association yesterday made ruling re-
ducing the rate from 221a cents to 20 cents
on domestic and export wheat, oats, rye and
barley and their products and corn prod
ucts, from Chicago east-bound. reduc-
ton from 2212 cents to 171a cents was made
on export and domestic corn from Chicago
as was also a 17ia cents proportional rate
on export corn only, from all points on the
east bank of the Mississippi to cover ship
meats from points beyond. The new rates
are to take effect Jan. l.
The Western roads are greatly dissatis-
fed at the reductions. They say that the
cuts are not great enough to keep the traf-
fic being diverted to other channels and
that they will not prevent the cutting of
rates or add to their stability in any way.
The Western lines are very warm about the
matter and say that no reduction at all
would have been better than the cuts made
by their Eastern connections. They could,
they say, handle just as much business at
the old rates as they can at the new rates,
and that there was therefore no reason for
cutting the rates if they were not to be cut
deeper than they have been cut.

Loading Grain Through Coal Chutes.

NORFOLK. VA. Feb. 5.-Spccial.-The
large Increase in the grain shipments
TO this port from the West. and con-
scquent movement of the same out of
the port. has nccessitated the early
building of another elevator. This mat
ter has been under contemplation for
some time. and il is not improbable that
steps will be taken shortly TO supply the
need. The present elevator is not much
more than a transfer. and Is not equal TO
all emergencies. In fact. the Norfolk

should the Wisconsin Central make
this a deep-water terminus. as has been
reported. another elevator would have
TO be erected Immediately. The prob
able site OF the new elevator when II does
go up is Lambert's Point. and the capac-
itv will not be less than a million BUSH
