Cattle shippers throughout the
West will be interested in change
which is soon to take effect in rates
for shipment of livestock, says the
st. Paul Globe. At present. cattle,
hogs, sheep and horses are shipped
and charges made at dollars per car.
The change, which will be adoptea
by all the roads, will result in the
charges being cents per hundred. In
discussing this matter local freight
officer said:
"This change is, in fine, merely O
technical matter and will be of no
particular importance either to the
railroads or to the shippers. 1t is q
return to condition of affairs which
prevailed in former years. After long
use, the system of charging dollars
per car does not meet with the same
satisfaction as computing the ship
ments at so much per hundred.
"Under the former order, rates
were quoted stock shippers accord
ing to the length of the cars. Each
car is presumed to have normal
capacity, but sometimes in shipping
this average is either raised or lower
ed, according to the grade of the
cattle. Under the plan of charging
cents per hundred, the shipper pays
only for that which he ships, and
each and every car will have to be
carefully weighed. In some in
stances the new rate will prove an
advantage to the railroad over the
old ones, in others the shipper will
get the advantage. 1t will be about
"stand off," and the cents per hun
dred rate will be adopted because
it is more satisfactory to all parties
concerned"

why the same conditions should
not be obtained now. Then ell min

legitimate business and it is yearly
growing more conservative. Capital

this is possible it is not more timid
