THE AGREEMENT IS OFF.
Galvestoa's Cotton Rate Will Change
After September l.
IT WILL Be ANYTHING THEY WANT.
President stillwclI Denies That
There VIII he strike ON the
Port Arthur Route.

Tho Galveston cotton rate will be In con-
troversy again soon, as the agreement al
that place to adopt certain tariff on
cotton going to New York. which furnishes
basis for the Houston rate, is about to
be aIbrogated. Notice has been served
from Galveston ON Houston lines that after
September / they will make any rate they
SEQ 1T.
Several weeks ago 1t was hard to deter
mine what tho Galveston rate was and
when the Houston rate was quoted at .
cents they complained to the commission
and asked, as a panacca for all their trou-
bles, that the Houston Galveston differ
entail be abolished. In tho meantime, how
ever, there was an agreement in the Island
City that the cotton rate should be 10 cents
per 100 pounds. which caused the Houston
roads to quote n rate Of 10 cents. effective
ten days later, as per interstate commerce
commission rules. The day following this
announcement tho commission at Austin
In letter threatened 10 abolish the G-cent
dlfferential on cotton unless the Houston
considered equitable and Just for Galveston.
a reply was made that the Houston rate
would be the dlfferential over Galveston
when dhe latter place adopted "a fxed rate.
which caused tho commission to withdraw
It's letter.
Galveston's 10 cents per 100 remained
very well enough until last week, when.
IL is reported, the understanding WAS vio-
lated and cotton accepted for less than
the agreed rate. which created some dis-
satisfaction among the shippers, hence the
notice before referred 10.
There is no telling what the Houston
roads Will do. but there is fine oppor-
tunity for tho situation to 80 back TO
where 1t was three weeks ago attended,
most likely. by the usual duplication to the
commission for the differential abolition.
