REDUCED RAILROAD RATES..

The decision rendered by the Inter.
state Commerce Commission a few
days ago, in regard.to railroad rates
in several western and Pacific. coast
states, is probably the most import.
ant action yet taken by that tribunal.
The decision affects such q large vol
ume OF business and Is so radical in
char cter, that the I railroad interests
are expected to resist it through the
courts, and with all the resources at
their command.
The people of Montana and other
western states are idirectly concerned
in the reduction of railroad rates con.
templsted in this verdict of the inter-
state commission. Although consider.
able time may elapseIbefore the order
OF this tribunal goesiinto effect, it is
cause for satisfaction that the com.
plants OF western shippers regarding
unreasonable and excessive freight
charges are acknowledged to be we'll
founded. The members of the inter.
state commission devoted several
months to an Investigation of the mat.
ter, giving patient hearing to the facts
presented by the railroads as we'll as
by the shippers, and celebrating care.
fully upon all evidence before an-
nouncing their conclusions.
That portion of. the proceedings
which refers to railroads that control
the transportation business in Mon
tana is OF special interest to the people
OF this state. The decision of the com.
mission in the city of Spokane against
the Northern Pacific and Great Nor.
them companies, and other carriers,
was prepared by Commissioner
Prouty. 1t was held that the earnings
of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern for the 10 years preceding
1908 might fairly be termed excessive,
and that reduction in revenues nigh,
therefore be made without viol attn
the constitutional rights Of those com.
psntes. The report continues:
"Having determined that question,
we did not make reductions in rates to
Spokane for the reason that these rev.
enues were excessive and for the pur.
pose OF reducing the revenues. The
rates to Spokane we're held to be IN.
reasonable and other rates were estsb'
lished as reasonable on ga entirely
different consideration.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Grain prices fell
off here today in the early trades, and
provisions ruled easier, influenced by
a larger run of hogs at the packing
centres.
A rush of sellers to the wheat pit
caused a break at the outset of from
* to s4% in prices. Foreign cables
telling of lower Liverpool wheat prices
and Argentine cargoes offered at a
decline were the controlling bearish in
fluences. May showed the greatest ac-
tivity, opening %@h to %@% lower
than yesterdays close, at 113A to 11s.
In the first hour May dropped to 1925
and lowered with slight variations In
the neighborhood of 113. The early
range at no time ven above the OPEN
ing figures. Other futures moved with
In a narrower range, keeping practi-
cally within the opening figures.
In the corn pit prices fell off at the
opening uniformly in all the futures Il
to ". The trade was light and a slightly
improved cash demand failed to streng-
then the marketing. The first hour
of trading was within the opening
range. May opened at 6SA to 6sh,
In harmony with corn and wheat, oats
showed q decline early. Prominent
holders sold freely and cash houses
were the principal buyers. Opening
prices ranged from a shade to * lower
than the previous close, and the first
hour showed little variation from the
opening figures. May opened at 47Ss to
47A, and later sold at AN.
Larger runs of hogs in the different
markets, together with a decline of
from s to 10 in hog prices made an cas-
Ter market in the provisions pit. The
opening n was from S to ~ lower
than yesterdays close.
The market continued weak through
the session. May fell off to 112A. The
close vas steady, with May " to 70
lower than yesterdays close at 113h.
Commission and speculative buying
in corr later on absorbed the offerings
in thai commodity and rallied the
market. All the futures showed an adj
vance of about ". May touched a high
point of 691s, " above yesterdays clos
ing figures. The market was steady at
the close, with May at $50, ~ above
Yesterdays final figures. +,

COTTON BREAKS 20 POINTS
ON HEAVY SELLING ORDERS.
Spectators Swamp Market in
Hurry to Cover.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Yesterdayfs
sensational break in the cotton mar
ket was followed by continued excite
ment and very erratic fluctuations at
the reopening of business today.
The calls for additional margin had
brought in q perfect avalanche of SELL
ing orders from out of town, and after
opening from~10 to Is points higher,
owing to relatively firm Liverpool
cables, the active months broke about
20 points>in less than hat number of
minutes, with March selling at 1903
and May at 1929, the latter month
being a shade under the lowest point
reached yesterday.
After the first burst of forced liquida-
ton the market rallied on covering and
a renewal of bull support, with March
selling up to 1890 and May to 1859, or
about 81 per bale from the lowest, be-
fore the end of the first hour.
The market was less active late in
he forenoon, and ruled very irregular.
The advance to 1890 for March and 1852
for May following the first break was
pretty we'll maintained. however. by
covering. and a moderate demand for
long account, encouraged by firm spot
advices and the somewhat better lone
of the Liverpool market. Prices at mid
day were about ii to 10 points net
higher.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. lin a
lecture before the Marquette Univer-
sity College of Law. United States Cir
cult Judge Grosscup, of Chicago, de-
clared that the Sherman law in its
nineteen years of operation had, in
stead of preventing the formation of
trusts, brought about the closest form
of consolidation in business enterprises.
He advocated as a remedy for this
condition the bringing of corporations
again into the hands of the people. He
favored the determination or adequate
rates of service by the Federal gov
men upon the basis of a fair in
come on the amount of capital in
volved, all surplus to go to the gov
eminent.

SEPARATION OF
HARTMAN PACIFIC LINES.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia proposition
looking to the separation of the South
ern Pacific II Union Pacific systems Is
now under consideration between Presi-
dent Taft and Attorney General Wick
ersham and officials of the Hartman
railroads, and following the conference
of Attorney-Genera Wickersham and
Judge Lovett, head of the Hartman
system in Washington. it was said in
Wall street today hat a definite an
nouncement of the separation was only
a question of time.
The executive committees of the Har-
riman lines in the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company, h Southern Pacific
Company. the Oregon Short Line Rail-
road Company and the Oregon Rail-
road and Navigation Company. held
their regular weekly meetings today.
Judge Lovett announced in advance
that nothing other than routine BUSH
ness would Engage the attention of
the committees. Nevertheless, It III
taken for granted that the conference
at Washington would be very thor
oughly discussed.
There is reason to believe that at
yesterdays meetings a proposition vas
made for the separation of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
roads along the lines laid down by the
government In its suit.
This proposition came from the rail-
road interests, and according to Wall
Street gossip is likely to be finally en-
tertained by the government, provided
certain other conditions imposed by the
administration are Incorporated therein.

WALL STREET NOTES.

Uptown Observation-Disclosures It
10 known that some of the
largest financial interests look
for a much more active market
and for higher prices a little later, it is
believed by some close observers that
for a few weeks the market will con
tinue dull and irregular. They believe
that this trend will be due chiefly to
the fact that large speculative inter-
ests lave sold considerable amounts of
stock within the last two weeks, and
are endeayoring to replace those lines
at a material advantage to themselves.
1t is known that a Wall street interest,
whose opinion is earnestly sought by
large speculative interests, is confident
that the whole situation will appear
more satisfactory in a few weeks, and
that sentiment will be correspondingly
more cheerful.
