extensive in the world at the

seeds of disintegration began
to develop, and Spain lost
most OF her North African pos

and extensive deeadence of

A cur IN RATE.
Morgan and Mallory Lines
Trying To Freeze Out a
Schooner Line

Galveston, Tex. Sept a.
The Morgan line today an
nounced a rate of 80 cents a
hundred on canned goods in
carloads from Atlantic sea-
board territory to Texas COM
mon points. Is IS provided
that where arbitraries are
absorbed 10 cents a hundred
will be the extent of this
absorption. The rate is effec-
tive Sept. and expires Sept.
IS. 1t is stated that the rate
IS put in TO meet schooner
competition. The Mallory line
also put in the reduced rates
here are no reductions to
Galveston or Houston. The
normal rate on this commodity
from seaboard to Galveston
has been IS cents. The rate
from Galveston is % cents.
This combination of locals was
8 cents in excess OF the
through rate. about two
weeks ago the Mallory and
Morgan lines issued tariff,
making the rate from New
York to Galveston 27 cents.
This rate was also made to
cover shipments from Balti-
more. The combination of
locals through Galveston was
thus made the same as the
through rate. The present
reduction in the through rate,
therefore, places Galveston 10
cents hundred out Of line and
it leaves the schooner line but
7 cents a hundred to work on.
Houston is in the same rela-
tive position.
1t is understood that Gal
weston and Houston whole
salers have considerable
quantity of canned goods
atioat on schoOnerS and that
another boat is booked to sail
from Baltimore soon. Wheth-
er the cutting Of the steamship
lines will be sufficient to run
the schooner line off. the track
remains to be seen.
