"MAN WITH MUSIc4L REART, NOT nEAn

Baltimore interests expect important develon-
ments at the meeting in New-York this week
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-07-22

The dealers of Great Falls quit buying
as soon as the news of the low freight
rate from Billings reached here, and it
was believed the Great Northern would
not allow a similar reduction for this
city.
Wool piled up in the warehouse and
the tug Of war between the buyers and
the railway company began in dead
earnest.
1t is the general opinion here that the
reduction of the rate on wool from Bill
ings east will seriously cripple Great
Falls as a wool market and bring Bill
ings to the front as the favorite selling
place for the growers Of the state.
The outcome of the struggle was
awaited with interest and the situa ton
was extremely distasteful to the resi-
dents Of Great Falls, who expected to
see this city maintain it's supremacy as
a wool market.
The Great Northern Railway company
has finally agreed to allow a rate Of
$135 from Great Falls to Boston for as
great an amount of wool as Billings will
ship this year. Great Falls will proba-
bly, ship more wool than Billings and
the freight rate on the excess shipments
will be $3.50 per hundred pounds.
This arrangement was made late Sat
urday and today the wool market is in
full blast again.
