There has been q great deal Of dis
appointment because the Garfield re.
port shows that the profits Of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent. of the volume Of
business transacted There is mo-
doubt, however, that the report is cor.
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agita<
ton regarding the beef trust began
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry Is conducted on
smaller margin of gross profit than
any other industry in America The
gross margin of profit Of 81 flour and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year, was nearly seven per cent. on the
volume Of business. The gross margin
of fifty-one wholesale Strengthening and
meat packing establishments In ILL.,
nois was only about one-third as large,
or little more than two per cent. en-
the volume of business.
The milIers have not been accused
of being in a trust" and combina-
tions would seem impossible in BUSH
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the -four trade, but it APP
pears that the gross profits Of the mill

RAILROADS CUT THE RATES
Tariff Charges on Sugar Have Be-
come Demosalized.

Chicago, July 3.-The sugar rate war
has broken out again with renewed
vigor and rates in every direction have
become demoralized. The war is the
result of the New York conference
which was recently held between East
ern and Western railroad traffic officials
and steamship agents.
At this conference the Fasteners
were given the right to make whatever
rates they saw fit in order to meet the
situation arising from time to time.
Acting upon this the Eastern lines put
in rate of 81 cents on sugar, all rail,
from New York TO Missouri river points,
being cut of 10 cents.
The Illinois Central today gave no.
tice of new cut rates from New Orleans
to all points north. These cuts, it is
expected, will be met by another l0-cent
cut by Eastern lines.

This assertion was made last night at

talked very interestingly of the affairs

IF the Chinese persist in boycotting

TUMUL TUOUS SCENES

Following Government Report on
Cotton Advance of So Per Bale.
New York, July 8. The cotton mar.
ket became badly excited Immediately
after the publication of the govern
ment report today showing the condi-
-tion of cotton to be n per cent, or
lower even than the small crop year Of
1908. The report was great deal
worse than had been expected, and
caused q stampede of general buying,
the price jumping up 1c a pound With
in ten minutes after the publication OF
the report This was the equivalent
of SIS bale.
The weekly crop reports had been
generally favorable and led to expecta-
ton that today S monthly report would
show an improvement, or so per cent
at least. Excited scenes were witness
ed in the trading pit when the unfavor-
able report was read. For the first
hour thereafter brokers on the short
side of the market kept it violently ex-
cited and prices advanced at times ten
points between trades, or fuctuated
wildly when the top point had been
reached. The trading was on an enor-
nous scale and the market was in a
turmoil for more than two hours.
December and January advanced 20
points at time, more than 100 points
in all, December selling at 1880 and
January at 1885. Thousands of bales
were thrown over by the bulls who took
profits at the prevailing high prices,
and this selling Quilted the market to-
gether with the belief that the advance
had discounted the existing conditions.
Later in the afternoon prices again adj
vanced nearly to the top of the day.
