that William McComas, private, was

voted TO continue the organization

road to act independently in rate mat

a character which would permit the continu-

articles of agreement was drawn up, which
will not conflict with the antitrust law,

officials will meet in Chicago again next
week to further consider the matter and
transact other important business. A report
has gained circulation that the Epworth

be given as low rates as would be allowed
by the roads if held at Denver or any other
railroad center. This rumor is incorrect and
this viii be made plain by the coming meet

Association did not go so far as the passen-

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Cheerful Sun Helps Trade-Prices
Cn-rx Stcndy Tone as q Rule.

After three rainy days and the appearance of
cheerful sun and mild temperature trade took
on much more activity and a call at the various
markets showed encouraging conditions. Steady
prices are still the prevailing feature, and with
the better collections the wholesale merchants feel
that they can safely sell close margins. In
prices there were important changes. Eggs
are firm and in active request. Poultry is steady
and in better demand. Receipts Of game are
light. Choice apples luxury and bring lux
ury prices. New oranges are becoming more
plentiful. Hay and seed markets are both fairly
active at better range. In other lines there are
no features
The local grain market showed more activity,
