POOLS EYES OPENED.
Ihinks 1t Discovers why Business
Has Been Falling OFF

me North Atlantic steamship pool has
just discovered that for more than a wear
the 500, Canadian Pacific and Dulutb
south Shore & Atlantic have been having
advanced commissions on west-bound ma 8.
senser business handled in connection with
ocean ilhes, ana that these roads have been
using split orders for such business nav
ing Sc commission. During this neriod
the commission paid over other lines has
been only ST. 25
ne information was announced in st.
raul Yesterday by circular issued bv
the pool giving notice that until orders
dlscontinuing the commission are issued
the three lines will be met and a Sc com
mission given on all business
The information that the 500. Canadian
Pacific and Duluth, South Shore & At
lantic have been making secret rates TO
their agents for more than year has
caused considerable of furry The ac-
ton of the pool in taking steps to fight
the roads is considered the first signal of
a general disruption of rates, unless CON
cess1ons are made at once. The New York
immigration bureau seems determined to
give the Canadian line and its connec-
lions hard fight, and announces that it
will go after this business. even if cut
rates are necessary TO procure it, The
new commission to be paid will no doubt
have the tendency to drive immigration
business south, coming in through the
port of New York. During the past year
the lines entering American ports have
lost tremendous amount Of business
without knowing why. The railroads have
also lost their share, and no reason was
assigned for the difference.
Statistics from the bureau of immigra-
ton in Washington show that the bust
ness during the year through St. Law
renee river ports-has increased more than
SO per cent, while the increase through
American ports has been hardly notice
able. This is now accounted for by the
knowledge that during this period the
Canadian Pacific and its connecting lines
have had secret commissions in effect,
more than sufficient to draw the bulk of
the business
The present situation will lead to a cut.
1t is thought. probable that a nominal
basing rate will be. put In and that an
open war will ensue. Information re-
ceived yesterday from Dakota points In
dictate that secret rates have been made
from there also.

FEATHERS FOR TRIMMING.
Majority From Food Birds-Song
Birds Feathers Not Much Used.

Birds Feathers Not Much Used.
New York Sun
The amount spent by American women
on two articles Of their headgear, viz,
flowers and feathers, Is estimated at
about $10,000000 year. The center of the
industry in the United States is New
York, where it engages the services of
10000 women OF this number over 1900
are employed by the thirty importers
of feathers in New York at an average
weekly wage of from SO to SIS. In col
lecting statistics on this industry, fact
pleasing to those who sympathize with
the Audubon crusade against the use OF
,, birds feathers in women's hats, was
brought out. Many feather houses will
not permit the use of single song bird.
The song bird is not bright and attract
i've enough to make his killing worth
while without artificial coloring. The
feather-makers rely very largely on what
may be termed waste material, j. e., the
skins and wings of game birds, plover,
partridge, grouse. woodcock and other
edible varieties, the color of which is so
desirable for walking hats that there is
little need to change 1t. But one of the
most interesting things about the indus
try Is the fact that the great mass Of the
material used in constructing the beauti-
full little birds, downy breasts, pompons
and other modish articles which appear
ers, which are dyed and shaped into
brightly tinted breasts, blackbirds or os-
trich plumes, as the case may be- The
feathers of which a breast of rich plum
age of apparently a white and brown
bird is composed may originally have
been a drab brown from a very common
type of chicken, growing under the wings
and around the breast and back. The
feathers of the blackbird are generally
from q pigeon The long fine cock feath-
ers are taken from the tail of the bird.
One of the novelties of the year in the
trade is feather designed as a substi-
tute for an ostrich plume. 1t is long,
rich and lustrOus, with curled edges and
1t Is difficult to believe that it is made
from the neck feathers of certain breeds
of roosters. There is scarcely any differ
ence in the thousands of strands compos-
ing the plume, and each is put in place by
skilled fingers. The great bulk of the
crude material comes from Germany.
France and Italy. Texas sends large
numbers of gulls into the market. and
japan and China{ contribute pelican and
turkey quilts. Russia and California sup
ply immense quantities of South Ameri-
can grebes and tropical countries export
bright-plumed birds in great quantities.
The ostrich feather production seems to
vary little in years. The entire crude out
put of Africa, which is exported from the
Cape of Good Hope, Is SS.000,0 900 a year,
and the additional $100 600 worth pro-
duced, by Egypt, constitutes the whole
ostrich crop of the world. The lmporta-
ton of ostrich feathers in their crude
state into the~United States probably does
net exceed a value, of S1,250.000 While
some ostrich plumes sell as high as $50
each in this country, many houses find
there Is scant sale for any feather worth
more than 81.
