NEW GRAIN RATE CUT.
Santa Fe SIashes Two Cents OFF
Galveston Tariff.

The local freight department of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e an
nounces that that road has authorized
a cut of two cents per hundred in the
rate on grain from interior Kansas
points to Galveston for export. This
new rate was decided upon today by
Santa Fe officials and will become
effective on or about February u.
This action on the part of the Santa
Fe is the latest move in the western
grain rate war. Several weeks ago the
Great Western started the ball to roll
ing by authorizing a cut of two cents
in their Kansas and Nebraska grain
rate 1t was evidently that roads en-
deavor to drain both of these states
of their grain via Omaha, Chicago and
the Atlantic ports. The Santa Fre, how
ever. Immediately prevented this by an
nouncins a cut of five cents per hun
bred pounds in their Galveston rate.
This latter rate was Immediately met
by other Galveston roads, and then
the eastern roads came back with an
other two-cent reduction. Now the
Santa F7e announces a cut of two cents
in their Galveston rate, thus making a
total reduction of seven cents in that
rate since the opening Of the grain rate
war
It is not thought, however, that this
latest move by the Santa F'e will end
the trouble. Eastern roads will prob
ably meet the rate, and in that case
the opposing roads will be as far from
a satisfactory settlement as they are
at rrcSent
