GREAT WESTERN CUTS
A FEW MORE RATES
Would Protect Chicago Gateway
Against New Orleans.

CHICAGO,Feb 25.-The Great West
ern today gave notice of reductions it
desires to make in rates on wire nails.
iron and sugar from Chicago to Mis-
souri, river points, effective March l.
The proposed reduction on iron and
stell products is from % cents to 10
cents, while on sugar the reduction
is from IL cents to Is cents, and from
Chicago to the Mississippi river from
II cents to cents.
The company contends that more
than year ago the Santa Fe- and an
other line reduced the iron rates to
the Wichita territory and later the
other roads raised rates to the Missouri
river, the Wichita rates remaining as
they were. This, it is said, injured the
Missouri river jObbers. The proposed
reduction in the sugar rates is said to
be with a view to protecting the Chi
cago gateway against the New Orleans
gateway.
