WHEAT AND COTTON
 CLIMB THE LADDER
Stocks Tumble Down Cellar
 With Velocity
LEADERS SCORE LOSSES
Break In Prices Is Attributed to Per slstent Selling, Mainly From Western Houses-Bears
 Take Advantage.

New York, May 27.- With the price of wheat and cotton booming upward, the values of stocks as quoted on the New York Stock exchange turned downward under persistent liquidation again today and scored losses ranging from 5A to 2 points for the leaders. Opening weak, the market continued it's downward trend un- til the closing hour when profit taking by the bears checked the movement and brought about recoveries of a point or more in the most active stocks.
 The break in prices was attributed to persistent selling, most of which is said to come from western houses actuated by the reports of damage to the wheat crop by frosts. Professional bears took quick advantage of the selling and gave the movement vigorous assistance. Reading, which has been the leader in several sim liar movements lately, was one of the earliest to succumb to the urgent liquida- ton, dropping 21k points In the first hour. Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Amalga- mated Copper, Smelling, Southern Rail- way, St. Paul and Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit were swept into the wave of liqui- anu lilIOuSAiOht lhS AOA thOOh A0- corded steadily dropping prices Temper ary support afforded to some of the most active stocks checked the decline soon after noon, but an engagement of $S0O,0OO gold for shipment for Paris gave the bear traders renewed courage, and after 1 o'clock prices crumbled away until new low records for the year were established in some. By o'clock Canadian Pacific was down points from Saturdays close, Reading G. Smelling 5, St. Paul and Illi- nois Central IA, Union Pacific 4ss and Amalgamated Copper 3ss

RAILROADS MUST
 NOT ADVANCE RATE
Interstate Commerce Commis-
 sion Wins Strong Point
ALABAMA IS AFFECTED
Case Involves Advance of Cents Per Hundred on Pine Lumber From Southern States to the
 Ohio River.

Washington, May 27.-A decision favor able to the interstate commerce commis- sion was rendered by the supreme court of the United States today in the case of the Southern Railway company vs. a Georgia lumber firm, H. II. lift & O., involving the right of the commission to prohibit the railroads from advancing freight rates on pine lumber from the south to Ohio river points. The opinion was handed down by Justice McKenna.
 The suit was the result of an order by the commission commanding the railroad company to desist from collecting an ad- vance of Pc per 100 feet on lumber ship ments from the southern states to Ohio river points becanse the new rate was 'unreasonable and unjust"
 The company appealed from this ruling to the United States circuit court for the Southern district of Georgia, but both that court and the circuit court of ap- peals for the Fifth circuit sustained the commissions order and the trial court entered a decree enioining the road against the enforcement of the advanced rate. The decision rendered today affrms all previous rulings.
 The case has attracted much attention. It was only test suit, as the advance in rates was made by all the southern roads, and one of the charges was that the roads had acted in concert to raise prices contrary to the antitrust law. It was shown that some of the roads had not complained of the old rate as unremunerative, but had explained the advance as in pursuance of a desire to share in "the phenomenal prosperity ol the country"
 The decision was regarded by the in- terstate commerce commission as greatly strengthening it's hands. The case in- voved the rates on yellow pine from Georgia points to Cairo and other Ohio river points. The committee issued an order prohibiting an advance of ? cents a hundred pounds on lumber.
 Involved with this case was another the Central Yellow Pine association against the Illinois Central railroad ct al In this the railroad contested their right to advance the rates ? cents a hundred pounds on, yellow pine lumber from East Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi to Ohio river points. Evansville Louisville and Cincinnati. In both cases the com mission issued orders forblddng the en- forcement of the advanced rates.
 The decision of the commission was rendered by Commissioner Clements. dis senting opinions being submitted by Chair man Knapp and Kneifer. The cases were taken into the courts and contested strenuously up to the supreme court. Both cases involved large amounts and questions of law of vital Importance.

It may interest newspaper men to know that the Monon railroad is going right along making advertising contracts on the same old basis In defiance of the in terstate commerce law. It Is not known when a test case will come up against this road, but there will be one and this case will be decided whether the ruling of the interstate commerce commission on the matter of the exchange of com modities is legal or not Texas editors are trying to find loophole to get around this same ruling and they, like all others, are waiting on the Monon developments.
 After many years of effort work will begin next week in Memphis on the great union passenger station, which is to be built there at total cost for station and terminals of $4000,000. The Mem phis station will be two and a half miles from the center of the business district and will be a great boon to the hackmen of the city who will collect some nice juicy fares. This time is some distance away, however, for the new Memphis station, like Birmingham will be a long time in building.
