RATES HAVE
BEEN REDUCED
On Wire and Nails From Mis-
SiSSippi River Points
BY FRISCO RAILWAY
Santa Fe Has Announced a
Reduction From Chicago.
FRISCO RAILWAY

Yesterday the new rate on wire and
nails from Memphis, St Louis. East St.
Louis and Chicago went into effect on
the Frisco and Santa Fe railroads. The
rate now is 50 cents per 100 pounds from
Memphis and St Louis. but the Santa Re
has not announced its new rate from
Chicago.
On July Il the Frisco announced that it
would reduce the rate on wire and nails
from Memphis and St Louis from 50
cents per 100 pounds from the former
point and IS cents from St. Louis TO So
cents from both points as wen as other
Mississippi points between the two cities.
This rate is only on carload lots to job
bers, and when the announcement was
made the Chicago manufacturers set up d
howl that it would give st. Louis and
Memphis an unfair advantage over Chi
cage and the Santa Fe Immediately an
nounced that the rate from that point
would be reduced enough to make the
oifEerential the same as before.
The three points are about equal IN sell.
ing wire and nails to western cities. Two
are granted the Mississippi river rates
from the eastern factories and a differ
entail is maintained that VIII give Chi
cago an equal chance In this territory.
The granting Of this reduction viii mean
a considerable reduction IN the price of
nails and wire in this territory. There
is quite material difference in the
freight BIN on a carload of wire and nails
at 10 cents per 100 pounds delivered to
the wholesale hardware merchants in this
city They are enabled TO reduce the price
at which they sell to the retailer. and
the retailer gets his goods at such rate
that he can sell large quantities at
considerable reduction but IN small sales
the reduction viii be Of little amount
