How They Hold Up Prices.
ATLANTA Constitution.)


Manager Fleming, of the Georgia
Fruit Exchange, is in receipt of a
number Of press clippings from the
New York newspapers showing how
the retailers in hat city are contin-
uing to holdup the price of Southern
products, Notwithstanding the fact
that the prices paid by the whole
~saiers, who buy direct from the ex-
change, at the pier, continue unusually
low. The continued high prices
charged the consumer is curtailing the
demand for the Southern fruit and the
peculiar market conditions in New
York are keeping the wholesale price
down.
There are so many in the
South who are requesting their fruit
shipped to New York city, regardless.
AS a result, there is practically a
congestion of fruit. TWO or three
times a week there is a doubling up
of shipments in this market caused
bv late fruit trains from the South,
with consequently low prices as a re-
suit. Another detracting feature
which is being reported from all sec
tons OF the country is the fact that
so many of the growers are over
loading their cars. h exchange has
requested a maximum loading or 4fo
crates to a car, whereas some grow
ers will put in as high as $50 crates
The heavily loaded cars arrive III pool
condition and bring low prices.
The daily bulletin issued by the
Georgia Fruit Exchange, which gives
the sale OF every car Of peaches with
the gross price received, shows that
practically every market in the coun-
try is paying more for Georgia
peaches than New York city. This IS
especially true Of the New England
markets and the western MARKERS
notwithstanding the duty Imposed by
Canada. Georgia fruit is selling IN the
provinces, at a good price, too.
notwithstanding the fact that the
present peach crop is a bumper one

on cars with the exception that two

with the order will not cause any m

with respect to new cars. A suficien,
mount Of time will be granted to the
railroads property to equip their ole
cars with new standards as the ears
are from time to time relegated TO the

In most cases the people who have

STATE COMMERCE. COMMISSION.
(By the Associated Rress.

Washington. D.. =, Oct. 15.-Upon
the conclusion of the testimony OF J.
{. Stuart, yice-presldent In charge OF
operations Of the Erie Railroad. the
railroads today rested their case in
the investigation by the Interstate
Commerce Commission into the pro-
posed advances OF freight rates by the
Eastern Trunk Lines.
The hearing was adjourned until
November Fl, in this city, when the
shippers may present their reasons
why the rates should not be increased.
Counsel for the shippers Will put on
the tand approximately a score of
Witnesses.
Chairman Knapp. Of the Commits
sion, suggested to the attorneys that
they would be expected finally to con-
clude their testimony at the Eovem-
Der hearing, and that nc further con-
%tinuance would be permitted.
The commission thereupon set De-
cember IA as the date for the pre-
sentation of final arguments in the
case
The last witness for the railroads,
Nice-President Stuart, presented a
mass of technical data concerning the
operations of the Erie. On crOSS-eX-
animation he declared that the large
increase of wages to which the Erie
had been subject this year had not
produced the slightest increased meas
ure of efficiency in the service.
This large mount in increased
| wages has been a dead loss he said.
we are getting no appreciate return

It IS scarcely probable that the com
mission will decide the case before
