duce grain rates from Kansas City TO

tion TO continue in force till September
9th.
The rate will apply on export grain only.
The action OF this line Is incomprchensi-
ble to the other roads, as they an have
more grain than they can move az pres
ent charges Under ordinary circum-
stances the cut would be met from Chica-
20 and st. Louis. As things now are and
as the rate Is only in for limited period
the probabilities are that II Will be ig-
