FROM BOARD Of
TRADE MEETING

Members of the local Board found
considerable amusement in the way
Mr.. Callahan persisted in addressing
their president as IN" Ordway.
The visiting delegt tes were greatly
impressed with their reception at the
railroad station. A big committee to
meet the train, all decorated with
special badges, was something of a
new experience.
Delegate Eastman of Portland re-
marked upon the genuine "dryness'
OF Skowhegan which prevails in pri-
vate as well as public. He had never
experienced anything quite like it in
all his numerous travels.
In opening the afternoon session,
President Callahan paid Skowhegan
a pretty compliment on the beauty of
her residential section. OF course
the local people knew all about it,
but they enjoyed the bouquet just the
same.
We wish that every citizen could
realize the contrast between the ban
quet at Lakewood last Friday and sim
liar function in states where license
prevails. When the leading business
men from all over a big state get to-
gether for stag dinner, and cut the
booze out entirely, it means lot both
now and hereafter
An after dinner story told by Con-
gressman Gould made great hit at
Lakewood. A verbose minister had
been engaged to speak before a GER
tain gathering, and in completing the
arrangements asked the presiding Of
ficer what he should speak about.
About fifteen minutes, was the appro-
pirate answer.
One of the pleasing things of the
State Board of Trade meeting here,
was to hear the delegates express
their admiration for Skowhegan's
new Municipal building. The people
of this town do certainly believe in
doing things well when they start
in was the remark heard from
the different visitors.
When W. X. Sanderson heard his
fellow delegates enthusing over the
beauties of Hayden Lake. he told
some good stories of the way scenery
was being capitalized over in New
Hampshire. One Boston man had
purchased an old farm with slightly
outlook for $500. Then he spent $500
more in fixing it up, and the follow
ing spring refused an offer OF 5000.

Ruling Is Favorable to Score or
More of Carriers and Covers over
Six Thousand Items-Freight Rate
on Lumber and Forest Products
Generally Between Omaha and
Nearby States Reduced.
Washington, July 1.-Distinctly fa-
vorable to a score or more of carriers
was the action taken by the inter
state commerce commission in the
cases of the Banner Milling company
against the New York Central and
of flour and wheat products from Buff
falo east to the New England states.
The commission decided that, in view
of the increased expenses of opera
ton, it would not suspend classified
tion No &c, thereby allowing the rail-
roads to make the increases. This
classification affects over 5000 items.
In addition the commission has de-
cfded to indefinitely postpone the
hearing granted in the Jennison case.
In this case a couple of score of flour
milling companies in Minnesota filed a
complaint against the Great Northern
Railway company, the Northern Pa.
cific and about two score other rail
roads and several boat lines operating
on the Great Lakes, charging that
rates on grain and -four from the Mid.
die West to Buffalo were dispropor.
tionate and favored the milling OF
grain at Buffalo and other Eastern
milling points.
Rates Never Became Effective.
After a hearing the commission en-
tered an order requiring the carriers
to reduce their rates on flour from
the Middle Western points by rail
lake and rail- from % cents a hundred
pounds to 2112 cents a hundred
pounds
This decision of the commission was
to have become effective May 10, but
when the rehearing was granted
which took place June /, the rates
were postponed and never became eff

In another ruling the commission
reduced freight rates on lumber and

range from one-half a cent to cents

Bears H4mmer Stocks to a
New Low Level.
PRICES CRUMBLE RAPIDLY

Excited and Violent Fluctuations Fea-
lures of an Exciting Day on Change,
Declines Being Followed by Partial
Recoveries-Leading Railroad Is
sues Hit Hard, Atchison Goinq
Down Six and one-haIf Points.
New York. July 1.-The stock mar
ket was flooded with selling orders at
the opening as an aftermath of
Wednesdays violent decline. The
opening downward plunge in prices,
after establishing new low levels for
the year, was followed by quick and
violent rebound which made up the
opening losses in some cases. Excited
and irregular fluctuations followed, but
the excitement quieted down to an
extent before the first hour was over
and steadier tone was manifest.
Immediately after IL o'clock another
spasm of liquidation convulsed the
market and prices broke violently in
new directions. Northern Pacific and
Atchison were carried down 4 points,
Union Pacific 31a, Southern Pacific
3as, American Smelling 3A, Reading,
st. Paul, Canadian Pacific, Amalga-
mated Copper and General Electric 3,
Rock Island 25s, Baltimore and Ohio
21s and United States Steel and Cen
tral Leather 2.
Fluctuations Are Violent.
Another feverish rebound came and
the shorts started to cover, but the
market continued excited and greatly
unsettled.
The tone of the market became de-
moralized towards noon and there
were indications that important mar
ket pools were letting go enormous
holdings of stocks for what they
would bring.
The prices of Atchison were swept
down 61a points, Southern Pacific 5h,
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and
st. Paul 5, Reading AZ. Chesapeake
and Ohio 4, United States Steel 3 and
corresponding declines in practically
all of the active stocks.
! There was a violent upward reac
tion in the quarter hour after noon
owing to the rush of shorts to cover
on the severe break in prices.
