roads facing a decreased revenue of
$400, 900 900 annually and not come to
the rescue of the greatest Industry
that exists.
The only commodities to escape the
increased rates are wheat. flour, pack
inghouse products and dressed beef.
products the railroads are practically
cstopped because of Il contract which
the Pere Marquette made with the
packers three years ago to maintain
the present rates to the seaboard upon
condition of receiving a certain speci-
fled portion Of the tonnage.
Effect of Competition.
The grain and -four rates are adj
vanced every winter and are reduced
every spring because of the COMPETE
ton of the lakes, which controls this
traffic. The official classification di-
vides all products transported into SIX
classes and into scores of commodi-
ties. The class rates, on which not
to exceed 80 per cent of the business
is done, will be increased between Chi
cago and New York as follows: First
class. from rs to SIS cents; second
class, from 65 to IA cents; third class.
from so to 81 cents; fourth class, from
30 to 40 cents; fifth class, from 80 to
33 cents, and sixth class, from 20 to u
cents The increase in the commodity
rates, on which the great bulk of the
traffic moves. will be on an average of
cents per 100 pounds
The railroads which have agreed to
this general increase include the Penn
sylvania, and the New York Central
lines. and have a total mileage Of
about 10000 miles According to the
interstate commerce commissions sta
tistical report. these roads earned in
1906 approximately 100000 out
of total gross earnings of $2,O00,00O,-
900 for all railroads.
In the rate conferences which were
held in the east, it was stated that an
increase of approximately 10 per cent
in the gross revenues was desired and
was actually imperative. If the pro-
posed increases have the desired effect
it is not impossible that the revenue of
these railroads will be sweled by $780,
100000 annually.

Of buyers willing to pay $3.50 for
feeders, and most of the country wish
tors are after cattle which can be had
at $4.75@5.25. This range gets me-
dunn to pretty decent kinds of feed
ers, and also the better grade light
stockers. Steers ranging down to $3.50
lack desirable duality and the com
mon light kinds sold down to $4.25,
with some poor, thin, little stockers
down to $3.50 and lower. A strictly
good kind Of fleshy feeders of quality
and also of class suited to the needs

and sheep for local packers the last
month totaled only 641,703, or 273, 7S4
| less than a year ago, being the small
est April packing in about a quarter of
a century
Exporters are not much encouraged
by reports from abroad, and buy mod
erately, tho they were compelled by
the force of competition to pay higher
rates than last week.
The top of the market yesterday was
1925, which price was paid for cattle
from Iowa and Nebraska. There were
good many cattle of high quality
here. and the proportion of the re-
ceipts at 81 and above was larger than
for some time. a good many of these
steers came from west Of the Missouri
river.
There is good strong demand for
all of the good to choice cows, and
supplies are soon exhausted. Sales
range from s3Om6O, with the bulk
selling at s35@45.
Close proximity of planting
time and desire of hog owners to
empty feed lots before becoming &C
lively engaged in putting in the crop,
was doubtless responsible for the eN-
cessive Monday supply.
Buyers say they are not able to sell
the heavy cuts of mutton even at
sharp discount Eastern meat dealers
want nothing but the light lambs.

much waste.
