while discussing the results aud probable
res'llts Of the recent meeting OF the exc
cutiNe committee of the Texas Grain Deal
ers association in this oity, MIR. J. p. Har-
rison, president of the association said
there was no doubt but the meeting was
very timely one and that the grain buy
ers felt that results We're already forth
coming.
The association called the attention OF
the Railroads to THE grest injustice about
TO be done the grain dealers of Texas in the
LSrcbable advance of rates from Texas
peints - the Mississippi river, and today
We received positive assurance from Of
fluials of the Texas and Pacific and the
Houston and Texas Central railroads that
the present rate of % cents per hundred
pounds would remain in force. We have as
yet heard from none OF the other roads.
The two mentioned are the roads over
which most of the grain shipments are
made from this section. This action On the
part ct tho reads win protect che Texas
dealers from serious loss and probably
avert disastrous results in other ways. We
are expecting encouraging news OF the
same nature from chter roAis.'

noupced by the calnmercial department Of
