This is Secretary Wilson's Explain
alton of the Sudden Break
in the Prices of
Meats
NOT A NORMAL DEVELOPMENT
Drought in Southwest and High Price
Of Hay Have Caused Farmers to
Market stoek-PoIitics Not
Concerned.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 16.-Full
bins of corn and oats have had much
90 do with the fall i'm meat prices, in
the opinion of Secretary Wilson.
The present break in meat prices,
said Wilson, lis hardly a normal mar
ket development. While it is true we
should expect downward trend OF
prices because of the great crops of
corn and oats we have had. the pres
ent sudden drop i'm meats is too pro-
nounced 10 be an effect from that
cause altogether. | believe Ihe
drought in the southwest and the con-
sequent shortage and high price of
hay are responsible for the unusual
movement for this season of farmers
rushing To the market with their stock.
They see II pays better to sell now
than to feed through the winter. They
probably are also influenced by the
anticipation of lower market.
1T is too soon after election to con-
meet politics with the decline of prices.
The country is full of corn and oats;
that's the reason fundamentally for the
lowering of prices

Plans Of Railroads Operating Be-
tween the Mississippi and
Missouri Rivers are
Frustrated
DECISION IS IMPORTANT ONT
Will Establish Precedent as to Rate
Making Basis Points-lmmense
Traffic From the East is
Affected.

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 16.-The at
, tempt of the railroads operating be-
tween the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers to resume advances in rates al
ready condemned from Washington,
was thwarted by n suspension order
announced by the interstate commerce
commission today.
The suspension involves a long
standing fight between st. Louis and
Kansas City johbing interests and af-
fects immense traffic from the East.
The ultimate decision viii be of vital
importance TO not only the Immediate
volume of business, but as a precedent
as to rate making basis points. The
commission ordered class rates from
the mississippi to the Missouri appii-
cable on shipments moving from points
east Cf st. Louis TO Kansas City ana
beyond.
The principle involved is that rates
from the East to Kansas City should
be lower than the. aggregate of rates
from the East TO st. Louis and ST
Louis to Kansas City
| The railroads appealed To the courts
and when the Supreme court of the
United States sustained the commits
sion the railroads put into effect de-
creased rates.
With the near expiration of a fixed
period the roads gave notice of the
contemplated restoration of the rates
| which had been condemned.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 16.-The
result of last Tuesdays election in
New York, when a Democratic Legis-
lature was chosen has settled finally
all consideration of the appointment
of Senator Elihu Root as chief justice
of the Supreme court. The Legisla-
ture will select a successor to Senator
Depew, and if Senator Root were to go
upon the bench 1t would mean that a
second Democrat would come to the
Senate from New York. With the
diminishing Republican majority in the
upper house. neither the President nor
Senator Root is willing still further
to decrease il. In consequence there
is a renewal of the talk regarding the
elevation of Justice Hughes to the
