RAILROAD STATISTICS
VALUABLE INFORMATION REGARD
ING RATES IN THIS COUNTRY.
Chicago and Ohio River Lines Head
OF ScaIpers-PrOsperity of the
Illinois Central Lines.

Under the direction of John Hyde Statis-
tican H. r. Newcomb, chief of the sec
ton of freight rates in the division of sta
tistics, has prepared compilation con-
corning changes in rates for railway and
other transportation service. The work is
published by the United States Department
of Agriculture. The report contains consid-
cradle information that is now published
for the first time. The entire subject is
treated historically, the tables in the case
of some of the older roads extending over
period of fifty years. For instance. the
average rate per ton. per mile, in cents. of
the Fitchburg road which was opened for
traffic in 1896 was 4.523 in 1857, 1891; in
1867, 3.023; in 1877. 1855; in 1887. 49, in 1897,
$50. The Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chicago,
in 1857. when opened for through business
received 2.276 cents per ton, per mile; in
1867, 1923; in 1877 1924; in 1887, .537 in 1897
60 Rates on the Chicago & Northwestern
declined from 2291 per ton. per mile, in 1867
to 1913 in 1897. On the Evansville & Terre
Haute. from 1.722, in 1877, to 1858 cents per
ton. per mile. in 1857. It is now twenty-six
years since shipping meats in refrigerator
cars on an extensive scale was inaugurated.
The rate on dressed meats, Chicago to New
York in 1872, was 81 cents per one hundred

on cattle, in 1880, Chicago to New York.
was AZ cents. now 2S cents per one hundred
pounds; on hogs. 40. now 80 cents per one
hundred pounds The average rate for grain
from Chicago to New York. in 1885, was 20
cents. in 1897 1875 cents per one hundred
pounds. In passenger rates the decline is
not so marked The Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
& Chicago. in 1857. received an average per
passenger, per mile. of ABS cents; in 1897,
1SS cents The Illinois Central. in 1858, re-
ceivsd 2 cents; in 1897, 1873 cents per mile.

BOSTON, July 20.-The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow Of the wool
trade The market is improving not very fast
regards prices, but with more or less speed
as regards the number OF inquiries. The fact APP
pears to be that some of the mills have sold a
good deal of yarn, perhaps at some reductions,
though at good profit nevertheless, and are be-
coming rather anxious to get their hands on good
lots of wool before the material advances.
There have been very good-sized transactions
since our last report. feature in the market
has been increase in the number Of Sellers
The demand for unwashed heeces has been I'M
remitting and there has also been quite move
ment in the medium and washed heeces Prices
are nominally unchanged, but the feeling re-
garding them is somewhat more encouraging tpaa
a week ago. The sales of the week in Boston
amount TO 1,6S9. 900 lbs domestic and s15.500 for
eign making total of 2454500 lbs, against q
total of 5S6 eco for the previous week and total
of 5941 000 for the corresponding week last year,
Sales since Jan. 1. 1898. amount-o of 81 1850 1bs

VIII Boss Our own Job.


The plain people of this country are COM
ing to feel that there is nothing to be done
but to serve emphatic notice on all con-
cerned that the United States will boss its
own job at Manila. The administration
which has to consider much and look before
and after, is undoubtedly anxious to put the
best possible Interpretation on all German
acts and utterances. This is wise No one
wishes to seek offense.
But If the German Kaiser really wants
to put the government at Washington in a
position where neither concession nor COM
promise is possible and where no interests
can be considered in the Philippines but our
own, he is taking just the steps to bring
this about. Week by week national feeling
is mounting. If no German vessels had
gone near Manila the proposition of a Ger
man coaling station on some one of 500
islands we do not want and cannot use
would have struck no one as Objectionable
The German fleet has changed that. Now
that the Irene has actually interfered at
Grand island there will be another change
This Is the most accommodating country
on earth when 1t Is fairly treated; but we
take no crowding, and any signs in that
direction put us in the middle of the road
and the. road generally proves only broad
enough for one.
