Freight agents OF railroads which de-
pend for their profits upon cotton ship
ments are Silly at their wits end to
get business. which has fallen to a
minimum because of the corner recently
established by the New Orleans opera
tor. Brown, and his associates. The
price Of the staple is so high that mills
are curtailing the production Of goods.
and naturally the railroads suffer Mr.
Brown seems to have the situation so
well in hand that he can take all OF
the cotton offered by the bears and hold
up prices until his opponents get tired
of fighting him. In the meantime ship
ments are falling of in a way that Is
causing many a railroad man much loss
OF sleep.

Important Convention.

Some important matters were acted
upon at the national convention OF the
railroad commissioners of the various
States. which was held last week ut
Portland Ne. the details of which were
brought to the city today by H. T. Con-
molly, chief clerk OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission, who was present as
Government expert.
One Of the subjects discussed and act
ed upon was a plan to bring about an
equalization of the classification vi
freight. There is no such thing in ex
istence at present. Take for instance
box of shoes. In what is known as the
southeastern classification district-that
territory south of the Ohio and east Of
the Mississippi River-the box is likely
to be classified as second class freight.
In the western district it is just as
likely to be marked down as third or
fourth class. and another rating may be
given It in the official district. That this
condition causes all kinds Of confusion
in shipping goods goes without saying.
So, the commissioners spent half a day
hearing reports and suggestions. all Of
which ended IN a resolution being adopt
ed calling upon the railroads TO take ac-
tion looking toward the equalization re-
ferred to. The commissioners are to
bring the matter to the attention Of the
roads In their States. and. IL is said. IL
they then allow the matter to rest, the

Another phase of railroad affairs dis
cussed was the necessity for the adop-
tion OF some sort OF a general block
system Of signals. and other safety ap-
planes on roads that do not now have
the latest improvements. The consen-
sus OF opinion seemed to be that there
is an opportunity for a great deal of
reform in the application Of modern in
ventions TO cars now in use. Several
papers were read on the subject. and
one commissioner quoted the recent re-
port Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. in which it is asserted that
the total number Of casualties for the
year Of 1902 was 70 ,250-the killed being
$685. and the number injured Ga, 662
