Railroads Advance. Rates.

CHICAGO, April 1.-Increased rates
on grain products from Chicago to the
seaboard we're put into effect by the
railroads today. The rate during the
past two years has ranged from 134 to
Is cents q hundred. The new rates
are from III to 10 cents. While the
increased cost Of operation is given by
the railroad as the reason for the in.
crease in rates. it is generally believed
that the action they have taken is
meant as a counter blow for the ad.
verse railroad legislation recently
passed in 80 many states. it is be-
lieved furthermore that this increase
Is but q forerunner Of q general ad.
vance in rates to be made by the roads
throughout the entire country.
P1TTsBURG, April 1.-The new coal
freight rates recently announced by
the trunk line railroads., an advance
of from 5 to 10 per cent over the old
schedule, went into effect today. The
coal companies in Maryland, Virgin
ia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and
Ohio are affected. Increased cost o
operation is given by the railroads al
the reason for the advance in rates
A slight addition to the price OF Goa
will probably result from the advance
in railroad rates.
