RATE WAR REGARDED AS
SERIOUS BY COMPANIES.
Will Cunard Line Competitors Make
Further Reductions2 Is Interest
ing Question at Present.

LIVERPOOL. Sept. 1.-The Cunard
Line today issued an official statement
to the effect hat it will be obliged
to follow the example of it's competitors
and reduce its eastward Atlantic fares.
This action had been expected, as
otherwise. with all the lines running
from the continent to channel ports ac-
cepting lower rates, much Of the liver
pool traffic might have been diverted.
The situation is regarded as serious.
The most interesting question is:
Will the Cunard Lines competitors
make further reductions? There is
little doubt that while the r~ate-cutting
at present is confined to the American
eastward traffic, eventually it will af-
feet the Canadian trade.
The American lines have been foster
ing Canadian traffic via New York and
Boston, n 1t appears that she Can
adian lines will be obliged t, reduce
their rates or else lose business to the
American steamers.

found some time ago that dry goods
and other merchandise from cars at
tached to the train in charge of Ford
was missing, but a Fence" where some
of the goods were disposed of. led to
admissions that caused them to be sus-
pected, and after they were taken into
custody by the chief, Detective Ser
geants Tuite and Horter. of the detec-
tive bureau, visited fOEu ; uOlHe ana
found several hundred dollars worth of
plumber concealed in the apartments of
the conductor and the room occupied
by Whalen, who boards with him. To-
day the detectives are searching the
pawnshops for more of the stolen
goods.
Chief Corbitt was walking down
Market street when he was informed
that the men had disposed of some
goods to secondhand clothing deal
ers in Canal street, and the chief hur-
ried to the vicinity. He found the men
he was after in a candy store partak-
ing OF ice cream soda and placed them
under arrest.
The chief was aided in his capture
by Policeman Chenowith. whom he met
in the vicinity. enjoying his day off.
In Cohen's clothing store, in Canal
street, were found eleven suits of boys
clothing, two women's eIoaks and sew
eral other articles, and the detectives
think that they can locate a lot more
before they are through with the
''hand-me-out" establishments.

port on crops which will be published in
the nuext issue of the American Agricul-

to the increased prices of farm products.
