WASHINGTON, Feb, 23-when Vice

Gordon ten or fifteen minutes, after the

When the senate was drowsy and thin,
And q nice young chap was prating away
Who had never had hair on his chin.
A bright little fellow by name Of Brown,
Who should be at home In his own little

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.--Dealings in stocks
today were scarcely larger than yesterday.
The thinness Of the market was as marked
on the selling side as on the ouylne Hae ,s
lift prices. The timidity of the bears Is
aggravated by such q dcmonstrauon as
that Of last week In Reading and that OF
today in the southern group OF railroad
Today's movement lacked authoritative
explanation. supposition naturally arose
that some financial project was working
out designed to change the relation be-
tween these properties, already very close
by reason of the control OF Louisville a
Nashville held by the Atlantic Coast line
and a mutual control Of other properties
held by Louisville & Nashville and South

An early attempt to depress prices met
with little success, and this as much as
any definite news OF conditions, prompted
the later upward movement. The quieting
down OF affairs in Philadelphia was ac-
cepted as good news.

CARLOADR RATE BEFORE COURT

Rates from the Rail-
roads.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 94.-whatever way
the supreme court OF the United States de-
oides the case up for argument before
today, involving the right OF forwarding
agencies" 70 carload rates on Interstate
shipments OF freight owned by Individual
shippers dire results will follow, II all that
the counsel in the three -cornered fight say
Is true
I'VE submit that the all-lmportSnt provi-
sions OF the act 20 regulate commerce will
be seriously impaired II forwarding agents
lare permitted 20 intervene and control the
less than carload portion OF the railroad
transportation"
'1t is economically inexpedient from the
public standpoint to develop class of in
tercepting carriers in this country
The two statements quoted were those
that counsel for the Delaware. LRcka-
wanna q Western Railroad company. the
wabash Railroad company, the New York.
Chicago n st. Louis Railroad company and
the Baltimore q Ohio Railroad company
went into court TO substantiRte.

ing they may take advantage OF their own
wrong" .a'ga..
That is the way Wade H. Ellis, assistant
to the attorney general views the attempt
OF the railroads north Of the Ohio river
and east OF the Mississippi to deny carload
rates to forwarding agencies Mr.. Ellis is
participating in the case in defense OF
the order issued by the, Interstate Com
merce commission in favor Of the forward
ing agencies.
THE result Of prohibiting the operation
Of the forwarding companies would be TO
eliminate the trade between the Pacific
coast consumer and the middle western
manufacturer"
Such is one prediction which counsel for
the American Forwarding company, Trans
continental Freight company and Rock
ford Manufacturers and shippers assocla-
ton are making. ~
