SOME CHANGES
In Southern Classification that Will
Interest Shippers.

A new southern freight classification
has been adopted by the southern clas-
si6cation com mittee, to take effect on
June J. In the new schedule many of
the concessions asked by shippers at
the hearing in New York some time
ago have been granted, SO far as the
released rates in the classification are
concerned. There has been practically
no change, however in the rates on but
ter, which constituted one of the chief
objections to the present classification

In rates on cereals and cereal prod ucts.
On staple articles. such as coffee. sugar,
etc, canned goods ard canned meats.
the rates have been materially advan-
ced. The southern railroads still adhere
to their previous ruling in refusing 20
accept for shipment goods packed In
fber or wood pulp cases.
