teen different boards and purchasing
agents and they did remarkably we'll
considering the disadvantage under
which they worked, in fact, they pur.
chased coal cheaper than it had ever
been purchased before, thus making

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. S1.-The cor
poration commission has been dealing
with the ice question III several diff
ferent parts Of the state and yester-
day signed an order in the case of
Rose Upton VS.. The Ada Ice and Fuel
company. This order reflects the ideas
OF the corporation commission and will
serve as the basis of all their orders
in the regulation Of the furnishing Of
ice through corporations.
The order recites that in the very ma
ture of things, an ice company has a
monopoly Of the ice business within
its own territory The evidence in
this case showed that the Ada Ice
company sold ice In the business part
of the town at forty cents per hundred
delivered in quantities Of ten pounds
and up where coupon books had been
purchased. In the residence district
they charged sixty cents per hundred
where coupon books had been pur-
chased. otherwise they sold It for
eighty cents per hundred. The price
at the pant was fifty cents per hun
dred.
The complaint alleges that there is
an understanding among the ice fac
tories OF that part OF the state which
virtually amounts to a trust The evi.
dence before the commission showed |
that parties at Ada had attempted to
buy ice at Sulphur in carload lots
That the manager Of the plant at Sui
phur had refused to sell them ice un-

come in competition on good many
cattle. Stock steers are selling pretty
freely although there is a certain
amount of poor grade stuff Of uncer-
tain ancestry that is slow to move,
and can be secured at bargain prices.
Hog supplies are slightly heavier
than heretofore, but the demand is
strong, especially from eastern killers,
who hold local packers well in line,
and the market Is higher than week
ago. Prices opened a shade lower to-
day on a supply Of 5000 head, but

trade can see no reason to expect 1

selling on the basis of hogs at $3.50,

probable that droves can be purchas-
