 Corn Shipment Ratcs.

Corn Shipment Rates.
 Washington. Aug: sI.-.The IntsrsLdasS SsidsS that the present freight charges on corn products and corn frcm Missouri River points to Pacific Coast terminals. in- more than 5 cents above the rates on against corn products and producers It was shown by the decision that the differentfal rates on corn and corn pro~ ducts from Missouri River points to California terminals was for about one year, January 1, 1890. 6 differentiaf rate of Q cents against corn products. Then for about one and a half years 1t was g cents in favor of corn products. The rates were the same between July, 1899, and March, 1895, when a differential of cents against corn products was es- tablished. In December, 1897. the diff ferential was increased to 10 cents, and in July, 1902. it was made 20 cents. Dur inr March 1904, the differential was fixed at IT Ia cents. and in October of that year 1t was reduced to 10 cents. and has since remained at that figure.
 Changes in the relations of rates on corn and corn products from Missouri River points to North Pacific termi- nals were not greatly different from those mentioned except that in Decem- mer, 1897, the rate was made the same on corn and corn products and there is now not any difference unless the min imum car load for corn in the marked capacity of the car in which case the rate shows differential of 10 cents as against corn products.
 A decision was rendered also In the matter of rates Of corn and corn pro- ducts from Missouri River pofnts to points in Louisiana It was held that prior to July 1. 1905. rates per 100 pounds from Missouri River points to points in Louisiana were cents higher on corn meal than on corn, but on that date the differentiaI was removed by respondents and the rates on corn and corn meal made the same. Such action having obviated the complaints herein, no order Is considered necessary.

Instead of the we'll known cit- izens who established the tavern draw 1 ing per cent. dividend as they ex. Ipected. 1t was said that in the last six months they had been compelled so

 When the tavern was opened in Oc- ltober. 1904. it was announced that only pure liquors would be sold, One room was fitted up with q soda fountain, where women might be served with beer.

THE IRON MARKET.
United states Steel Corporation shows
 Cautious Policy.

CAutiou@ EOhcys
 New York, Aug. 31.-Apparently the United States Steel Corporation will pursue a cautious policy in it's pur- chases of pig iron. says The Iron Age. The corporation has just bought 25,- 900 tons of Bessemer pig for delivery during the first half of September, pay ing for some of the iron on the basis of s14.50 a ton and for some of 1t up to SIS a ton. It is understood that the corpo- ration now has in blast 92 1-2 per cent. of its total furnace capacity.
 Some big purchases have been made in the eastern territory, sales aggre- gating about 10000 tons have been ef- fected In the Cleveland district and some buying has taken place In the Pittsburg district. There have been further sales of low phosphorus iron.
 There has been fair run of orders for foundry iron and the first indication of interest on the part of buyers for the first quarter of 1906 are appear ing.
 The scarcity of steel is becoming g more acute, particularly in the Chicago district. The announcement that the steel corporation will build seven ad- ditional ffty-ton open hearth furnaces and an additional blast furnace at South Chicago Is interesting in this connection.
 Further heavy sales of steel rails have been effected. the aggregate being about 200. 900 tons Orders for 2O0.- 900 tons more are pending. An inter estiuR transaction is the sale of 10000 tons to the Grand Trunk road. made by an American mill for delivery this year the Canadian mill which had the order not being able to live up to its deliv- cries.
 Good reports continue to come from the wire trade as to the tonnage belns placed. The leading interest has book . dabout 10000 tons thus far this month.
 There is a fair buying movement in sheets and tubes, but tin plate is still Iagging.

 The ballots used at the polls all were marked yes and no one was expected to vote no in any event" said the doc- tor. .-The only way a negative vote could be cast was by writing out spe- cial ballot. In addition. the men in charge of the election showed strong antipathy to any one casting negative ballot and persecution, or what amount ed to it, followed him. who flew in the face of the influence behind the referen~ dum."
 Dr. Walderstrom said the action or Norway had been a hard blow to King Oscar, who, he declared, had aged rapidly in the past few months.

Berlin, Aug. 31.-The spread of chol- era from two localities on the river WeichseI i've days ago to twenty mine cases in twelve localities extending iron, the Baltic to the river Warthe, one hundred and fifty miles south. and It's appearance in Hamburg has given an unpleasant thrill to the people of Ger many, for 1t may mean a long and steady fight, as in 1SS2-9s. to prevent the disease from getting beyond con- trol In those years 1t Is estimated that 800, 900 persons died in Prussia from cholera.
 The Prussian government is keeuly aware of the possibilities of the danger which so far is not regarded as giving occasion for apprehension. A commit tee from the cabinet consisting of Dr. studt. minister of medical affairs, Herr von Budde, minister of state and minis ter of public works, Herr von Mueller minister of commerce and industry. and pr. von Bethmann, -Holweg. minister of the interior, has the central direction of the preventative measures.

|CITY BONDS SELL. CHEAP.
TOW RECORD MADE.
Election MuddIe and Tight Money
Market the Chief Causes.

City bonds touched a low water mark yes
tsrday at the sale OF s12,50o0o0 by Controller
Grout, when they sold at an average price of
s13,79e,710. The low price is accounted for in
part by the uncertainty over the control of the
city government for the next four years. The
tight money market is another factor in the
situation. Had not Harvey Fisk & Sons and
Farson. Leach & Co. bid par and accrued in
terest for all, the sale would have been a fail
ure as city 31h per cent bonds cannot be sold
for less than par.
The only other bid for any considerable
amount was from the Columbia Trust Company.
This was for s725.000 at various prices ranging
from 10O.O55 to 100125. All the other bids were
for small amounts. OF the total issue of s12,500.
600, the two big bond houses mentioned obtained
s11,59S290.
Controller Grout after opening the bids. in
commenting the sale said:
I am pleased to make a sale. We cannot
sell at less than par, and during the last two or
three weeks city 31a per cent bonds of previous
issues have sold as low as 99h Considering
the condition of the money market, the election

of the Mortgage Tax law, under which you can
obtain guaranteed tax exempt mortgages pay
ing Il per cent, think the sale was one of the
most satisfactory in my experience in this Of
fee l think the result of the sale will be to
stiffen the price of bonds to above par again.
The last previous sale of city gold bonds was
