operative concern in which many of the sa-

passed into the hands Of Detroit and Cleve-
land men. The company started a year ago,
with cash capital of SIS, 900, on the price Of
beer being raised by the Milwaukee and
other concerns doing business here After
the local brewery was in operation the out
siders cut prices to a point with which the
ManstiQue company was unable to compete,
and its downfall is due to this cause.

TO BRACE UP RATES
Executive Officials Will Meet in
Chicago This Week.
N. W. CONDITIONS MORE STABLE
Northern Lines Loosen Up ON Cars
and May Relieve the
Shortage.

Executive officers OF both eastern and
western roads are to meet Friday to dis
cuss the rate situation. Cutting is gen.
eral on many western lines and the condi-
tions are far from ideal in the east The
presidents will make a New Years resolu-
tion in the hope of bracing rates in vari-
Gus sections. At present rates out OF
Chicago are being cut % per cent The
Generalization is very pronounced in
Union Pacific territory
Traffic conditions are holding rates well
up to tariff in the northwest. With all
shippers in Minneapolis this week, the
need of cars is great. The flour manu-
facturers to-day bid y cent premium on
wheat in the cars of the Milwaukee,
Northwestern and Wisconsin Central.
None Of the northwestern roads Is cutting
on -four rates as has been charged within
the past few days by eastern traffic men.
There is a deviation from the regular tar
if rate on export flour of 2 cents per
100, but this reduction comes as a result
OF the conditions in eastern traffic circles.
In Denver territory and in many sec
tions Of the east the spectacle is present
ed of rates being slashed by roads which
al the same time are short of cars to sup
ply their regular traffic. This phase is to
be discussed at the presidents meeting
Friday. The fault is laid at the door of
some Of the most prominent traffic mana
gers.
Car Situation May he Relieved.
The car situation locally promises to
improve through the recent decision of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific to
allow their cars to go east of the Mime
sofa transfer. The two coast lines have
strictly followed the rule of keeping their
cars in their own territory since the big
rush began in the summer.
Grain and Flour Shipments.
East-bound shipments of grain out of
Chicago last week amounted to 2,095, 900
bushels, a decrease of 81, 900 bushels as
compared with the previous week, but an
increase of 681, 600 bushels over the cor
responding week Of last year. Flour ship
ments were 204,571 barrels, a decrease
from the preceding week Of II, 058 barrels,
but an increase of ia, Gil barrels over the
same week of last year. Provision ship
ments were 26,776 tons a decrease Of 4, 1876
tons from the preceding week, and an in
crease of 7,130 tons over the corresponding
week Of last year.
Teachers Holiday Rates.
The Western Passenger Association has
decided to grant the teachers a holiday
