New Orleans. July 15.-The determination
of railroad and steambot companies to resist
the rates fixed for handling rice from country
districts threatens to seriously interfere with
the prompt TRANSFORMATION of this years crop
to market. Today the new rates of the rail-
road commission so into effect and the
Southern Pacific has brought suit for iniunc-
ton at Baton Rouge to prevent their opera

unfair and unjust and unwarrantei discrim-

oppose the rates promulgated by the commits
sion, and Captain Woods of the ST. Louis
and New Orleans line declared the steamboats,
would make no ATTEMPT whatever to handle
rice this season unless the old conditions are
restored. and will let it remain on the lcvees.
The rates established they say. will in
volve them in a monetary loss, instead of
aflording them a return on the large capital
they have invested Rice planters and brokers
are much alarmed over the condition OF at
