New Orleans sent orders ON the buying
side. while the room seemed inclined to
take the lorg side for the turn. Not

looked as though the big bulls were again

BLOW TO RAILWAY COMBINES
Hearst Case Against the Coal Carriers De
cided Against the Roads,

Hearst Case Against the Coal Carriers De-
cided Against the Roads,
Washington, April 5.-The supreme
court dealt another severe blow to rail
road and industrial combinations when
1t decided that President Baer, of the
Philadelphia and Reading road, and
others who testified in the anthracite
coal case must produce contracts
which they refused to reveal and
which, it was alleged, would show
combination to keep up the price of
hard coal. The case, which was that
of the interstate commerce commission
vs. Baird, was decided in favor of the
contentious of the commission, the de-
cision of the United States circuit
court for the southern district of New
York being reversed.
This is the case begun before tn
commission by w. r. Hearst, of New
York, who alleged there was discrim-
nation by the railroad companies
which reached the anthracite coal
mines in Pennsylvania. During the
hearing some of the witnesses refused
to produce certain contracts bearing
upon the business of the railroad COM
panies and the coal mines, which ac-
tion was upheld by the circuit cou
of New York. The United States SUI
preme court holds that the contracts
should have been supplied, and this
is the basis of the decision, the court
not going into the merits Of the case.
AS to the point the court says: 1T
Is to be remembered that we are not
dealing with the ultimate fact of con-
troversy, or deciding which of the con-
tending claims will be finally estab-
lished. This is a question of relevanc.
Of proof before body not authorized
to make final judgment, but to investi-
gate and make orders which may or
may not be finally embodied in judg-
ments or DEGREES of court. 1t may
be that commission or the courts will
ultimately find that the contracts do
not fix the compensation received by
the carriers, and that, as claimed, the
full rate is paid by these purchasing
companies"

OUR MEATS ARE BARRED
Germany Succeeds in Shutting Out One of
the Chief Products Of the Western
MetrOpOlis.

the Chief Products Of the Western
Metropolis.
Berlin, April 5.-One years opera
ton of the German meat law, which
went into effect April, 1903, has ex-
tinguished American trade in meats
with the fatherland Representatives
of one of the largest Chicago pack
ing companies furnish the following
resume of the situation: 1.-THE burden
some provisions of the exclusion law
have accomplished their purpose Of
bringing American meat imports to a
dead stop.
Government inspectors arbitrarily
refuse to admit American shipments
on the ground that they are prepared
standing that the best German ex-
perts have pronounced them free from
such curatives. The regulation ex-
Guiding meat weighing more than eight
and one-half pounds is mere subter>
fuge for destroying the trade in
American beef and pork tongues and
other small cuts, for which there is
large demand.
I'm addition to these barriers the
charges fer inspecting certain meats
such as hams, which often weigh only
five or six pounds, are fixed at three
quarters Of cent pound, despite
assurances that these charges were in
tended only to cover the cost of in
spection." Chicago packers have in
formed the Washington authorities that
the only possible way of bringing Ger
many to terms on the meat question
is relentless retaliation on German
wines and other Teutonic products
known to be adulterated.

CAN FIX THE PRICE OF GAS
Chicago Wins Its Fight in the United
States Supreme Court-Lower Court
Is Upheld.

Washington, April 5. - Chicago has
won its fight for 75-cent gas in the
supreme court. The tribunal upheld
the finding Of the circuit court and
decided that the city council of Chi
cago was within it's rights and pow
ers when it lowered the price Of gas
and fixed the rate through the passage
of an ordinance. Justice Fuller read
the courts decision and in it said that
no immunity was granted the company
from reduction Of it's price by the
TERMS of it's charter.
mo contract that the price should
not be reduced below 81 thousand
feet was created" said the courts
finding, NOR was the alleged original
exemption merely modified and ex-
tended" In it's last words the court
declares that 1.-The decree Of the low
er court dismissing the bill because
there were no such contract rights as
alleged impaired or destroyed by the
ordinance was right"
