HEAVIER THAN ELSEWHERE


ASTORIA, April 2l-Edltor Astorlan:
In an editorial this morning the course
OF the AstorIan IN publishing Judge Tay-
lor's calamity articles is defended and 1t
is suggested that the taxpayers are cen
surable for not having been earlier on
guard and by their vigilance rendered
Impossible the horrible situation with
which they are now confronted. I do not
censure the Astorian for publishing the
mgrtbrlous contributions mentioned, for
it would MY become a newspaper to de-
cline publishing an article from repu-
table citizen on subject Of public con-
cern. Nor shall question the wisdom OF
the suggestion that Il Is not display
Of mental weakness 20 lock the stable
before the horse ls stolen, and. therefore,
you are in order when you suggest that
the evils Of today might have been pre-
vented by vigilance yesterday. There are,
however some features Of the plan Of
campaign adopted and pursued by those
who are 20 painfully impressed with the
awfulness Of our situation, 70 which I
cannot subscribe.

LOOK FOR SEVEN CENTS
AND. SHIPPERS BULL
ISH ON GRAIN FREIGHT
Nothing Doing in Way Of Charters
' Now for That Glass of
CargOes.

Those actively engaged in the vessel
and shipping trade look to see some very
high freights during the coming fall: Some
are even sanguine enough to expectto4 see
five and possibly seven cents paid. for
wheat to Buffalo. = s. $; :5::; ~
" There is no demand at all at the pres
ent time for grain tonnage, and the rate
on grain, this port to Buffalo, is still ~
cents bushel, the same as it has been
ever since July i. Some September con-
tracts have been made at 81 cents;
Ore rates went up yesterday to $1.05, an
advance of cents a ton. There IS no
prospect that they will be lower, and there
is every indication that they will gradu-
ally work higher. There are immense
ore carrying contracts to be filled, and
all of the furnaces are anxious to get
big supplies son hand. The coal men have
had a pretty sad time trying to get lon
mage, but they will probably have a har-
der time to get what tonnage they will
require, for if the higher rates that arr
expected on ore and grain do really ma.
terialize, boats will push on westward a
rapidly as they can without bothering tc
carry coal. - B: Il
The coal rate yesterday was 40 cents tC
this port and other Lake Superior points
except Fort William, where a rate of 81
cents was effective. A rate of so cents viii
probably be announced for Duluth this
week. The lumber rate now is $3.50.
= The real boom in freights win come
when the demand comes from the Allan.
tic coast and from abroad for wheat, and
this will nrOba hly he before the end .nt
September. If it is not felt even before
the beginning Of the month, when receipts
of new wheat begin to come in.
