 When Bro. Scott finished his admirable Address on "The w. C. T.

New Orleans, September 1S.-An ad-

pine lumber from New Orleans to
points in the North, West and East
will become effective October l. when
the lines handling business through
St Louis and Cairo gateways will with
draw their proportional rates. The
lumber after that date will move
through those gateways on the lowest
combination of rates in effect, and
this will result in an advance Of 2
cents hundred pounds an this class
of freight moving as stated. Similar
action by lines handling business
through the Ohio river gateways. it
was stated yesterday, has not been
taken, and the result will be that no
advance will become effective through
those gateways.
