the markets opening prices were al
fractional declines throughout the active
portion oi tile list and continued selling
for the short account all over the floor by
room traders. London carried the values
still further down in short order by a re-
ported capture Of General Whites forces,
but this was later contradcted, and a
moderate recovery took place, bringing
prices in general back To the neighbour
hood OF first levels, but this upward
apnrt soon died out and the selling was
again resumed more energetically than
before, particularly in sugar, Brooklyn
Rapid Traneit and the railways. The
grangers and the Pacifics dropped on an
average OF point each; even the trunk
lines gave way considerably. Most Of the
selling, however, was directed against
sugar, which closed with one and half
points not less, although its last prices
were we'll over the low point.
The serious news from Ladysmith was,
Of course, the overshadowing develop
ment OF Yesterday. 1t threw the London
market into considerable confusion, al
though later dispatches were the means
Of quick recovery. The capture Of Cen
eral Whites forces would be a more
serious blow even than was Buller's last
month. It could not fail to have de-
moralizing influence both on the foreign
market and OH our own. The fact, how
ever, that there has been such very
thorough liquidation makes it improb.
able that We should have another such
serious disturbance as occurred three
weeks ago.

provide that districts can be changed
after the census and only at that
time thus changes can be made only
every ten years. According to the
present outlook of things ST. Louis
county will be changed so that each

a long district instead of the present

Ore Rate Case.

According to the Pioneer Press the
state railroad and warehouse COM
mission has instituted another invest
igation OF the iron ore rates of the
Minnesota roads engaged in the ore
traffic. The suit. according to the
st. Paul authority, has been begun in
the name of tile commission, and p.
NJ. Ringdahl of that body is supposed
to be the moving spirit in the matter.
1t will be remembered that two
years ago last summer an Investigate
ion of the ore rates was instituted
upon complaint of John Ct. Brown and
DIR. Conan. The case excited con-
siderable attention at the time and
was holly contested. Later the suit
was withdrawn. 1t was popularity
supposed at the time that the Oliver
Iron Mining company was among
those interested in the struggle to
get the ore rates reduced. At the
time of the suit there was much de-
preston in the iron business and for
several years independent operators
of mining properties had complained
they could not operate their proper
ties except at loss. The conditions
have changed entirely since then.
There are few independent operators.
Those that held on until the boom in
iron about two years ago have either
sold out at good prices or are in posit-
ion to ship their product at a profit,
owing to the improved prices for ore.
The beginning OF the investigation
of the ore rates at this time comes as
a surprise.
