Contrary to expectations, there has
been no advance in the price OF railroad

freight rates on all lines doing business
In the Northwest. The market reports
show the same quotations of ave weeks

are explained by r. e. Merchum. New
York broker now at the Butler while
the increase In freight rates during the
past sixty days has advanced the earning
capacity of every line in the Northwest, 1t
Is not expected that from this cause there
will be any further advance in stocks" he
says.
''Sinee November Northwestern rail-
road stocks have increased from 10 to 30
per cent, which Is the greatest permanent
jump I'm history. This condition has been
caused by the earnings of the various
roads for the past year. leaving the lines
in possession of a sufficient surplus to
make needed improvements, build extern
sions and acquire other properties. This
has been done to n greater extent in the
Northwest than in any other section Of
the country.
with the same business during the COM
ing year. the earnings OF all lines will be
materially increased by the new rates.
While all railroad stocks are high, there
