Savannah, Ca, Nov 17.--tSpecial)--
While the foreign movement in resins ex-
eeeded ten thousand barrels. the exports
OF turpentine both domestic and foreign
proved light in the past seven days and
with receipts continuing in the usual vol
ume for some time past stocks at the ports
show slight increase for the week.
So far as prices turpentine were con-
cerned the week was productive of a soft
ening which carried values down to sac
about midweek. but after that time there
was a slow recovery on moderate buying or
ders and the article at the opening yester-
day was quoted firm at 55c. While there
was apparently no very pressing require
ments on the part of the usual buyers the
purchasing support was fairly good and
the recovery noted from sac was due to
this cause. The demand at all times was
strictly for legitimate requirements.
On last wednesday NOV. 100 the tur-
pentine market opened dull at SIC and there
was but little demand in evidence either
then OF the day following when the article
sagged to sac. Renewal of PURCHASING sup
port. however, came with the final call OF
Thursday and the article moved back to
save; on the day following at the first call
remained up 70 and including the opening
call of Tuesdays session. The last call

with final sales of 240 barrels.

Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 5.--American

now pouring over the boundary into the
Canadian West. According to a state
ment made by the deputy minister Of
interior at Ottawa, the invasion Of
Americans into Canada will total over

In the beginning OF this across boun-

largely from the Middle states, but this
year they are coming from almost ev-

Practically, the official report says,
80, 600 Americans this season entered
Canada, and every man, woman and
child was possessed on an average Of
VI, 900 in stock, cash and effects, mean
ing that they brought into this coun-
try nearly $50, 900, 900.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-Orders for equip
ment and power have just been placed
by Hartman lines which will bring the
total expenditure for this purpose
during the last six months up to fully
SIT, 900, 900.
The latest order is for 1900 steel
under-frame refrigerator cars. which
are being constructed by the Pullman
company, and an order for 500 all-steel
ballast cars. Orders have also been
given which bring the Hartman lines
all-steel passenger equipment up to
nearly 600 cars. Orders which are
now being delivered are for 48O all
steel passenger cars, the largest order.
with one possible exception, that Of
the Pennsylvania road, ever given.
In this connection it is stated that
the Hartman lines were pioneers in
the use of all-steel passenger cars in
the West, and that they will here
after use nothing in their passenger
service which is not all-steel and prac-
tically indestructible.
Hartman lines are also beginning to
receive the first of 5,400 freight cars
and los locomotives ordered less than

motives calls for 33 of the heavy NAL
let compound type. These locomo-
tives, it is claimed, will haul fully 10
per cent more than any two of the or

o. R. & N. MUST
CUT GRAIN RAltS
OREGON Railroad Commission issues
Order for Reduction.
Eecision Follows Ruling in Washing
ton Against Northern Pacif'c-f1'''
Road Has Made No Attempt to
Fight Regulation and Oregon Line
Is Expected to Submit.

Portland, Oct. 1.-THE state rail-
road commission of Oregon yesterday
handed down it's findings in the matter
of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company and its various branches IN
Oregon, known as the grain-rate case
which has been before the commission
for several months. The commission
declares the rates now in force to De
unjust and unreasonable and orders q
reduction equivalent to cut OF about
one-eighth in the present rates, which
will make difference in the revenue
of the railroads of approximately $751;
900 per year on the volume OF business
being done at this time.
The grain rate order was issued by
the commission from its office in Salem,
and while the general freight depart
ment Of the Oregon Railroad q Navi-
cation company yesterday was aware
that such an order had been il sued, on
ly its general terms were known. W.
e. Conan, assistant general freight
agent, declined to express any opinion
as to whether the railroad company
would abide by the order or appeal to
the courts to prevent it enforcement.
The order, in effect, is practically
the same as that made by the Washing
ton railway commission, commanding
fiat reduction of 121a per cent on grain
rates from points on the Northern Pa
cific to Puget sound.
Recent action by the Northern Paci-
fic has given the Washington commits
sion the understanding that the railroad
will obey the order without recourse to
the courts. The Washington commits
sion has made such an announcement,
but in the offices of the North Bank
railroad, which of necessity in the pres
ervation of its business will be COM
PEELED to meet the cut, nothing definite
is known as to the purpose of the
Northern Pacific.
AS to the points affected by the Ore
gon commissions rate order, the issue
is almost solely one for the o. R. & N.
The Northern Pacific has short
branch running into Oregon, but the
Northern Pacific is not affected by an
Oregon order nearly SO much as is the
0. r. & N. by Washington order re-
ducing grain rates.
