The present management OF the

shown oommendable disposition
TO make every concession to the
pull in freight and passenger
tariffs which the business Of the road
would permit Soon after MIR. Evaps's

and many substantial reductions made
that were of great benefit to Maine In
dustrles. This morning q reduction OF
fares all along the line lie announced to
take sffett March first. Hereafter no
rate higher than three cents mile will
he charged on the main line or any OF
Its branches. This makes a very suhstan-
tial reduction In fares. especially for thu
short distances, where the old rate, were

wheat of Foreign Nations.

Western grain men are interested in
the report that within the next few
years an enormous grain trade is GER
tain to be developed between Mongo-
liza and Siberia. The population OF the
vast Mongolian steppes concerns Itself
almost wholly with the breeding OF
cattle and horses and is likely to
draw almost all its foodstuf1s from
Siberia in the future. Another matter
of similar interest is the growing
wheat area of Argentina. In competl-
ton with the United States the Argen-
tine Republic is at an advantage IN
some ways and at disadvantage In
others. Her wheat fields are close to
the seaboard, making great saving
in land freight, and she has cheap Ia
bor. but the ocean freight rates are
excessive.
