Southern Road
Gets Into Fight
Cuts Rate from Kansas City to GAL
weston to Meet Reduction
to Oklahoma.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, March 1s,-Tht
Kansas City Southern railway today made
a cut in freight rates from Galveston to
Kansas City to meet in part the rate of
s1.l0 promised by the Missouri, Kansas a.
Texas railway from New York to Okla
homa City The latter rate was alleged
by local merchants to be discriminative
against Kansas City.
The Kansas City Southern proposes to re-
duce It's rate between Galveston and Kan
sas City to a figure that will make the
total rate from New York to Kansas City
via the Atlantic coast route and Calves
ton accord almost precisely with the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas rate from New
York to Oklahoma City, via Galveston.
Colupbus Halle, vice president of the
Missouri. Kansas & Texas railroad, who
made the concession to the Oklahomans
Commercial club here today. The Kansas
City people admitted the justice of the
rate so far as Oklahoma City was con-
cerned, but asserted that Kansas City
should have at least an EQUAL rate. MI.
Halle disclaimed any desire to discrim-
mate. but he did not offer to meet the
rate for Kansas City. The meeting then
adopted a resolution declaring In effect
that as long as the Missouri, Kansas a.
Texas railroad maintains the proposed
new rate and does not meet It for local
merchants that that railroad will secure
no business from Kansas City shippers.

NEW YORK, March 1s~.-Attendance was
small at the Stock exchange today and in
terest in the market was anguid. The
market showed its recently prevailing in
difference to developments Of all kinds.
The break In wabash securities seemed to
follow a published expression of doubt by
the head of the system that +. II. Harri-
man was to become a director, although
cordial regard between the two men was
asserted. The merger OF the Equitable
Trust company, counted as a Hartman in
stitution, with the Bowling Green Trust
company, I'm which the Gould name has APP
peared c~onspicuously, was also cited as ev-
idence Of the Impeachment of these two
financial groups. Another small decrease

ported by the American Railroad assoCia-
ton for the half monthly period. was taken
as a favorable showing. Some growing i'm
p%ortance is attached TO the continuation of
the outward movement OF gold, which Is
expected to continue next week. High
prices of grain have cut down our exports,
imports of various commodities are eX-
panding heavily with the reviving demand,
and foreigners are still sending home their
holdings Of American securities to market.
The money metal goes out to cover the
balance. The comptroller's compilation of
national bank conditions throughout the
country In February shows a loan account
of $3.50. 1900 which is an expansion OF
$4l8 600 over a year ago and stands, in
fact, as a record for thai item. Yet money
remains almost a drug and large offerings
at concessions in rates are falling TO in
duce sufficient borrowers to take up the
supplies. Tn weekly bank statement
showed no important change In the local
banking situation.

OF Neilsville testified before the senatorial
investigating committee today that in dis

son a small amount was given to the
editor of the Neilsville Times for him to
spend" outside OF certain expenses, he
said he spent most OF the money in the
saloons OF Clark county. When the SEN
atorial proposition was discussed It seemed,
he said, to be the field against "Uncle

OF the arrivals on an average have been
very satisfactory, there having been ~ good
many loads OF right good killers, both
sheep ana lambs. At the same time there
mas been quite a sprinkling of rather un-
satisfactory lambs, so that there has al
ways been something for feeder buyers TO
The week started out with prices just
about steady and they showed cOmpar-
atively htte change during the first three
days. III anything prices firmed up "A little,
ewes especially selling to very good advan-
tage. During the latter half OF the week,
under the Influence of untavorable condl-
tons at eastern points the strength OF the
market disappeared, the trade becoming
less active and finally on ETiday declining
as much as loo and In some cases l5c. The
developed Friday wiped out any
advance that may have been secured early
In the week, leaving sheep no more than
steady with last weeks closing and lambs,
II anything, n little lower. Taking the
week as a whole the market has been
fairly satisfactory. Packers have done an
enormous business, some Of them reporting
that their Kill for the week was the largest
for this season of the year In the history
of the business. That such large receipts
could be handled without creating any very
great change in values certainly speaks
well for the stability Of this market.
TIL future of the sheep trade IL a puzzle
at the present time. In fact, prices at
present seem to be entirely under the con-
troll of the eastern mutton market, and It
all depends on how that goes. At the
present time the down eastern market is
unsatisfactory, but favorable weather con-
ditions might bring about a speedy re-
covery.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on DOnrd of Trade.

CHICAGO. March 13.-A deadlock pre-
vailed In the wheat market today and
prices moved over a narrow range. At
the close prices showed almost no change
from the final quotations of the previous
session. Corn closed easy, oats steady and
provisions weak.
There was no renewal of the decided ac-
tivfty or strength in the wheat pit today
such as was noted yesterday and prices
fluctuated over a half cent range. Foreign
markets did not follow the 20 advance here
the previous day, and there was no news of
importance to inspire either buying or sell
ing. One of the leading long and followers
sold moderately throughout the day. May
sold between Sl165s and N17h and July
between S1.047s91.@ and T.0h. The close
was steady, with May unchanged at H.17is.
July was a shade lower at A.00MQ1.O6h
A slack shipping demand for the cash
grain, and predictions OF increased re-
ceipts from the interior next week had a
depressing effect on the corn market, SEN
timent in the pit being bearish all day. The
market closed at net losses of hc to hqa4c,
May being at 6S&c and July at 67Ac.
Oats moved within extremely narrow
bounds, the range for the day being con-
fined TO about nc. At the close prices
