covery of large deposit of gray or
magnetic ore near Sycamore, Ala, has
caused considerable interest in indus
trial circles here. inasmuch as it de-
velops the fact that there is ore in

mingham district or on Lookout Noun
tain. The ore runs 46 to AZ per cent.
metallic iron with other elements
about the same as the red ore in the

Chicago, ILL.,, July 29.-It is the pre-
vaiIing opinion that the recent change
in rates and basing centers on the
part of the northern lines, whereby
the rates from Chicago and the middle
west were shifted for the benefit of
the manufacturers east of this city,
will be duplicated by the roads operat-
ing from Chicago to the Pacific Coast.
1t now devolves that other trans con-
tinental lines have been importuned
bv trans Missouri River retailers and
jobbers to reduce freight rates gener-
ally from points east of Chicago and
change the basing rate to New York.
This would mean a general change in
rates from points east of the Missouri
River to the Pacific Coast territory.
