RAILROADS LOSE AND WIN.
Two Decisions Announced by Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Washington June Two decisions wers an
nounced by the Interstate Commerce Commission
to-day one relating to through rates graiu
-four ana feed IN carloads from the West 10 East
ern points aud the other to a reconssnment
charge of s. grain shipped TO Kansas
city and thence to other points.
Chairman Knapp handed down the opinion IN
the first case-that of Eber De Coy against tho
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company et al. The differ
ence in through rates the 100 pounds from Chicago
and other Western points TO Mount Holly and
Pemberton, n j.. is five cents. Mount Holly TAX
ing the rate New York, and Pemberton. six
miles east the New York rate plus Ave cents
Since the hearing tho Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has put in a tariff naming recOnsignment
charge on the traffic of 25 cents go cents toni
from Mount Holly to Pemhertou. The commission
holds that the present through rate TO Pemberton
as compared with the rate Mount Holly. is
itself to unreasonable prejudice and disadvantages
that the through rate to Pemberton should not
exceed the New York rate plus cents the 100
pounds. and should not be at any time more than
two cents above the rate 10 Mounty Holly.
Commissioner Clark gave the opinion in the re-
consignment case, which brought by the
Board OF Trade OF Kansas City against the Chit

Island lines. The complaint that the recon-
sgnment charge of 81 grain shipped TO
