Unusually Cool Weather Checks Trade

Trade little quiet yesterday. the raw
chilly temperature not being the stimulant needed
to create an active spring business But March

OF weather is doubtless at hand and condi-
tons such that active trade is then as
sured. Prices carry the strong tone OF several
days past and in eight out Of ten lines of goods
the tendency toward better prices is a feature
Dry goods daily getting into stronger posi-
tion and the same is true OF staple groceries,
iron and hardware. Poultry is irmer with eggs
and butter steady. Fruits and vegetables are
moving fairly we'll when prices considered.

THE RATE WAR RENEWED
FIERCE COMPETITION BETWEEN
TEE PACIFIC COAST LINES.
Fast Run on the PanhandIe--Out-
look for Construction of the Black
Diamond Road Improving.

Another passenger rate war has been in
augurated between the .transcontinental
lines which bids fair TO be long and de-
moralizing. The Canadian Pacific has given
notice that IL will take hand in the fight.
For some time the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific have been accusing each
other Of cutting rates from st. Paul TO the
north Pacific coast points. Now both OF
those roads announce that they will make
a regular rate of SO for second-class pas
sengers from St Paul and Duluth TO Seat
tie. Portland and other north Pacific coast
points. This rate will affect business to
California as WELL as 1t reduces the rate
from st. Paul to San Francisco. by steam
ship from the Northern ports. from S51.50 to
$40. 1t is certain that the Canadian Pacific
will take advantage OF the opportunity af-
forded II TO reduce Its transcontinental rates
10 the detriment of the lines from the At
lantic seaboard to Chicago and from Chi
cago to St Paul. The Canadian Pacific has
given formal notice to the American roads
and the InteTstate-commerce Commission
that IL will make as low rates as those Of
any American line or combination of roads.
The Great Northern and Northern Pacific
cannot count on the aid or support of the
Western Passenger Association in another
war with the Canadian Pacific.

Excursion Rates.

An adjourned meeting of the Western Pas
senger Association was held at st. Louis
yesterday TO hear the report of committee
appointed at Chicago, March 8. to recon-
mend basis of excursion rates to be used
for large meetings to be held during the
coming season. Chairman b. ID. Caldwell
presided The committee appointed at Chi
cago reported in substance as follows:
at Is recommended that the minimum
rate to be authorized for the several large
meetings to be held during this year shall
be fare plus 81 for the round trip and
that III previous to this time less rate than
one fare plus 81 for the round trip may have
been announced for any meeting effort shall
be made TO have substituted the minimum
rate as recommended by this committee.
The addition OF 81 in each case to accrue
10 lines in this territory. The report of the
bling block in the shape of fixing a rate
for the annual meeting of the National
Educational Association at Los Angeles,
July lila"
The situation was discussed. but no con-
clusfOn reached the matter going over un-
I'll to-day. Probably the most important
matter taken up by the meeting the
problem presented by the recent reduction
of second-clasS rates by the Northern Pa
ciic and other lines to Northwestern points.
After a prolonged discussion the chairman
and John Francis a committee TO report on
plan OF operations to-day. 1t is likely the
report will be in the nature of a protest
wi h a recommendation that proportionate
II uctions In seccnd-claSS rates be made on
all Western lines as far as California.
