INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE
Hearing on Port Differentials on
Frenght Continued

The interstate commerce commission to-
Gay continued Its hearing on the question
of port dlfferentials on freight to Atlantic
ports. Testimony OF Baltimore witnesses
as to the interests of that port occupied
the morning session. Walter Kirwan con-
tended that the differential was essential
10 the securing of business. John L. Dem
mis- testified that Baltimore shipping inter-
ests could not live on a one-and -half-cent
differential on grain rates. In the past,
he said. rates had been cut as low as q
cents per 100 pounds from the Mississippi
river to free on board" the vessels. Chas.
England said Baltimore should have a g.
cent differential on account of the short
land and long ocean distance, and that
since the diferential was cut there had
been little business done In the diffsrentiai
territory. He said when the differntial was
0 to 8 cents New York merchants estab-
lished branches in Baltimore, but they left
when the differential was cut to 3 cents
Blanchard Randall urged a Scent differ
entail for Baltimore on account of the dis
lance conditions. He said that since the
spring of 1902 the grain trade in Baltimore
had been anything but prosperous; that
prior to that date the railroad freight rates
huctuated according to market conditions
as the ocean rates changed and published
tariffs did not figure very much EQUAL
through rates. he said would divert the
business to other ports, especially New
York
You say said Chairman Knapp, that
the export grain rate to Baltimore should
be cents per hundred pounds less than
New York. The ocean rates from Balti-
more are not 3 cents more"
you are correct" answered the witness.
Then" AIDED Mr. Knapp, you hold that
the through rate to the foreign destination
must be less via Baltimore than New
York"
Yes" YVES the answer. Baltimore and
Newport News have certain disadvantages
which require certain advantages I'm rates
TO compete with business from other ports. %
Continuing, the witness said that If the
through rates were the same by all routes
the great bulk of the business unquestion-
ably would go through New York and Bal
timore must necessarily furnish some what
lower rates to the shippers.

Representative rainier, on behalf of the
managers, stated that the time they had
asked was only that which would be abso-
lutely necessary for an orderly conduct Of
the case. After hearing the reply of the
defendant, he said, the managers would
have to formulate their own reply to that
and submit 1t to the House of Representa-
tives. That would take time, which could
not be well avoided. He said that the
managers also would wish to interrogate
witnesses who arrive here before they are
placed on the stand, and that would REQUIRE
several days.
In fact, he said. 1t would be utterly i'm
possible to get the witnesses here by the
Sd of February for the reason that they are
now in Florida, in Louisiana and in Texas.
and to serve subpoenas on them and to give
them time to travel the long distances nee
essary would require all the time that had
been asked for by the managers.

the House were in fact managers Of this
