equalization OF rates TO Galveston. Por,

In the fight which the brokers have opened

refused to help them out OF hole OF their

The Port Arthur and Sabine Pass sit
uation is. in truth. worrying tho brokers
very little, but they had hoped to make
of II an excuse for a determined assault
upon the Houston lines. because the latter
Rave declined to ignore existing conditions
and continue to recognize Galveston as a
basing point for export rates when. owing
10 the rate war prevailing between the
Galveston New York steamship lines. New
York has, perforce, become tho basing
point.
AS TO the sI.06 rate on cotton from Texas
common points to Liverpool. which the
brokers complain of SO bitterly, 1t is made
by adding the commissions rate OF "a cents
TO Houston to 81 cents which is the rate
contracted for in many Instances, from
Houston to Liverpool by the Galveston
ship brokers. and involves no sacrifice OF
divisions on the part of the Texas roads
