1t is highly probable that the dollar rate

a permanent fixture this winter, as last
although some of the lines would like very
much to see it end October L. The busi-
ness in recent years. has been divided
between three lines, which has reduced the
revenue Of each considerably. 1t is under
stood proposition will soon be made by
one Of the Houston Galveston lines to
make the regular week day rate apply also
sundays, at the end Of this month, except
in case OF special occasions, when the 81

sllmod.
