ARE OPPOSING ADVANCE.
Californians Want Same Shipping
Rates Maintained.

Chicago, June 16.-California pro-
ducers are opposed to the advance in
sugar rates, arranged for transcon-
tinental lines more than a year ago
and to become effective July 10. The
increase fixed the rates to Colorado ter
minals. Missouri river, Mississippi river,
Chicago and common points territory
at 60 cents per hundred pounds, mini
mum carload weight, $4,000 pounds.
In defense of their action and the de-
cision to make the advance effective on
the date named, the carriers contend
that sugar rates have been extremely
low for a number of years and no in
crease was made during prosperous
times, when the prices for ali commod-
tiles were greatly increased. They do
not believe that the volume of traffic
from California will be seriously affect
ed. in spite of the opposing view of the
producers. The principal increase-10
cents per 100 pounds-will be at Mis-
souri, common points. This will affect
Kansas City, st. Joseph, Atchison,
Omaha, Council Bluffs, ST. Paul and
Minneapolis. These are the chief points
of competition between eastern and
western manufacturers of sugar.
