supply but Of moderate proportions.
In quality it was the usual Tues
days run, q bunch Of COMMON stuff
showing up with the she stuff il

pretty fair brlnches the quality was
generally common and Of native

The market showed little eyi-
dence Of recovery from yesterdays .
decline and there was q disposition
On the part OF some statesmen to
quote prices lower than the pre-
yious day. Others could see little
change in the price level. The
former now quote prices about a
quarter Off from the high time last
week, while buyers still class it as
a 10 to Is cent lower market and
the quotations Of the decline show

Bulls ere quoted 10 to Is cents

The demand for veals had not
been satisfied today and there was
evidence early that buyers wanted

Small Shipments Corn
bined are Subject to
the HuoWeE Rates

Washington, July 27-As q re-
suit of the efforts of the Interstate
commerce commission q decision
was handed out today, permitting
shippers to combine small quanti-
ties Of freight Of various ownership,
either by arrangement among them
selves, OF through the medium of
a forwarding agency and ship the
combined lot at the relatively low
er rates applicable to large ship
ments.
The commission decided in favor
Of the smaller shippers On the
ground that the ownership q prop
erty rendered fer shipment can not
be made test as To the applicable
ity of carriers rates.
FORBIDS DISCRIMINATION
The interstate commerce law for
bids discrimination between ship
pers and the fact that one shipper
tenders a ''bulked shipment" made
UP OF property Of various ownership
consolidated before delivery to the
carrier will not justify the carrier
in making a different charge than
for 4 shipment Of simular character
rendered by & shipper who is also
the owner.
The commission rests its decision
principally on the case OF Wight
versus the United States, where
the supreme court held that the
phrase under substantially simuIar
circumstances and conditions as
found in section 2 Of the act. pro
hibiting discrimination, refers to
the matter Of carriage.

South Carolina.
e. D. Smith, A. H. Gasque, G. and
A. Hugh Hines went fishing near Eff
fingham yesterday where creek runs
into Lynche's river. They had fine
sport, and caught 1O8 of the finest red
breasts in the country.
Fishing down there Is done with
the hands. All you have to do Is to
feel under the logs and In the stump
holes and pull out the fish. 1t is
characteristic of the red breast, we
are told. not to leave their hiding
place. They stick so close to 1t that
one can literally pick them out OF the
water with the hands. These gentle
men had fine fun. They caught some
shad, but they were poor, except one
and were put back into the water
One snake was killed.
The only bad thing about fishing
this way is the fact that there are
some snakes under the logs, and IL by
chance the fisher gets his hands or
moccasin there Is generally some
thing doing. Mr.. Johnson, who lives
IN that section. interviewed a snake
the other day in some trash where
red breasts were hiding, and now be

High Price Pleases Champions Of
New Grain.
Minneapolis, Aug. 16.-Despite the
fact that the millers are opposing its
being graded as high quality grain,
velvet char" wheat sold for $1.23
per bushel at the Minneapolis cham
Der Of commerce yesterday. The sale
caused no little excitement in the
state grain inspection department. At
a recent meeting of the inspectors
they could not agree upon giving the
new wheat separate grading, owing
to the fight which was on between the
friends of the wheat and the millers
regarding its quality.
The wheat which was sold yester-
day morning was sold for milling pur-
poses, and this fact pleases it's cham
pions. The inspectors report that
the wheat is being largely seeded in
the southern part of the state. 1t is
heavy yield and the quality has
made the farmers enthusiastic over
it.

from which the bees also escaped and
attacked him in turn.
Workmen from the fields round
