WHEAT RATES FROM BUFFALO
Railroads Cut Traffic Charge to 4
Cents a Bushel.
Arrangement In Competition with
Water Rates Regarded as Tenn
pOrary ExPedient.

For the last two seasons OF lake navi-
cation an increased proportion OF grain
for export has been carried by the lake
routes operating from Western lake ports
via the Welland Canal to Montreal at
exceedingly low rates, which has seri-
ously depleted the shipments by lake via
Buffalo and other Lake Erie ports to
New York and other Atlantic ports
With a view 10 retaining fair share
in this business via the Buffalo all-ran
routes to New York. the railroads leading
east from Buffalo have found It necessary
to reduce their rates. and will announce
a reduction on April 2s on wheat only for
export from 5lk TO ( cents per bushel
Buffalo TO New York. with correspond
ing changes to other Atlantic ports. The
arrangement is a temporary one. and the
tariffs are TO be made applicable for sixty
DAYS only. expiring on June 26
The rates on other grains viii not be
changed, and It is not understood that
the change made from Buffalo on wheat
win be followed by changes in the all
rail rates from Western points. These
reduced rates are made solely for the
purpose Of meeting the competition OF the
Canadian water routes.

YELLOW PINE CLAIM CASES
Four Hundred and Thirty-two Now
on File Here.
Hearings in Progress on Them BE-
fore Interstate Commerce
Commission.

-Four hundred and thirty-two cases. in
volvlng claims Tor a refund Of cents
per 100 pounds upon yellow pine lumber
shipped from the Southern pine region
east OF the Mississippi River, were set
for hearing before the Interstate Com
merce Commission during the last week.
These are VAat are popularIy known as
the yellow pine reparatiOn cases Practi-
cally al of them were adjusted by the
counsel representing the claimants and
the railway companies. and it was neces-
saTy only 70 get the commissions per
mission for their indefinite continuance
The claims were divided into two gen
eral classes. those from the territory
covered by the decision OF the eomrais-
sion, affirmed by the United States Su-
preme Court, in the case Of Tiff et al
against the Southern Railway Company
et al, and those from the territory COW
cred by another decision Of the commits
sion. affirmed by the United States Su-
preme Court, in the case OF the Central
Yellow Pine Association against the III
nOis Central Railway Company ct al
The first territory comprises the State
portion OF Alabama east OF a line drawn
from selma southeast 70 the Gulf OF
Mexico. %he second class includes sli
cases from The Southern pine region east
OF the Mississippi River, except that de-
scribed as the Tiff territory
Many Of the claimants and their al
torneys were in Washington to attend
the hearing. and the railroads were rep
resented by their general Consel and their
special counsel retained for these specific
cases. Several conferences were held be-
tween the two parties concerned prior 10
the time set for hearing tie cases. An
agreement finally was reached that the
railroads would pay all claimants from
the Tiff territory 81 per cent Of the
amount OF their prOvable claims within
ninety days The claims from the other
territory, known as the Central Yellow
Pine Association territory. are much
larger IN amount and have not vet been
worked out as completely by the rail-
roads as those from the Tiff territory
As TO these cases, il was agreed that
they might be continued indefinitely by
the commission. to be called up and re-
assigned for hearing upon the request OF
the cOmplainants al any time after April
25 next. IL by that cate the railroads
had not submitted to the claimants q
proposition for a reasonable and salts
factory settlement OF the claims. This
proposition and agreement are TO be sub
mitted 10 the cOmplainants in all The
yellow Pine TeparatiOn cases.
The settlement made In the Tiff terri
tory cases is on identicalIy the same basis
as that made q few weeks ago with
claimants from the same territory. IN

The sudden abandonment by the Atchi-

clear By an announcement which has

plated issue if made at once. yet after

not advisable 10 make the issue upon the

was preferable TO postpone the entire
matter and at some convenient time make

CHILEAN CROP REPORT.
Harvests I'm south. American COuntr1
Are Very satisfactory.


The harvest In Chile, just closed, is In
general quite satisfactory, notwithstand-
ing the light rainfall during the last win
ter. The north central portion suffered
quite severely, but farther south the
crops were better than usual. owing to
the lighter rainfall, since as a usual thing
that portion Of the country has too much
rain for the best results.
The wheat yield Is about the same as
for last year. when there was a surplus Of
about 100000 bushels, and the quality in
the main is superior. The barley crop IS
a little short OF an average, but viii be
sufficient to meet the home demands. The
fruit crop promises well, and the yield
viii more than supply the demand. but
as there is little exported, the surplus will
be allowed 70 decay.
The future looks bright for the develop
ment Of agriculture in Chile. as the gov
ernment is doing much to open UP the
undeYeloped portions Of the country by
building railways, assisting irrigation en-
terprises, betterIng the wagon roads, and
encouraging immigration. The soil OF

rn Mako cream WhIn.

Many housekeepers who like
whipped cream as an accompaniment
for broths, chocolate or desserts think
they must order cream Of a special
richness. This generally must be
done the day before and always costs
double the price Of ordinary cream.
One young woman discovered last
winter a way of easily making her
daily supply OF cream whip. she
merely added teaspoonful of granu-
lated sugar to every pint, had 1t Ice
cold and quickly whipped II to thick
froth in the churn.
A special whipped cream churn Is,
by the way, an investment that pays
for every housekeeper. The old meth
DDS Of using fork and skimming on
froth as it comes to the surface is a
waste OF time that the modern woman
can not afford.
