COMMISSION MAKES
RULING ON PRIVATE CARS.

CHICAGO. Feb. 16.-Some time ago
Western roads asked the Interstate
Commission to rule on the question of
free transportation OF employees OF
private cars. and recently one of their
number sumbitted for approval the fol-
lowing clause. which II was DESTROYS of
inserting in Its tariff:
Employees of private cars (owned or
chartered by the parties using them.
!. e., cooks and porters In service. not
private service) viii be regarded as
train employees and carried free"
In reply the carrier was advised that
this was not considered legal; that the
servants which the act, as construed
by the commission permits TO be car
ried free. ara only such as are fairly
entitled to be included in the word
family" and that any other private
servants cannot be brought within the
provisions OF the act by being regarded
as train employees when such is not
the fact In the case. The ruling will
require changes TO be made in the tar
IFS OF a number OF roads which have
been carrying the Objectionable clause.

RAW SILK MARKETS
REPORTED INACTIVE.
Yokohama Prices Declared to Be
Growing Weaker.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-From reports
given ~ by raw silk agents 1t ap-
pears hat the Yokohama market Is
dwindled to very small proportions
One a for this Is hat a majority
of the manufacturers of silks do not
feel certain that prices have touched
bottom. and they are accordingly in
clined to hold off. They are taking
only sufficient raw silk to protect them
on business in sight, or on a percent
age of their spring trade. What they
will do In the way of covering final
requirements will depend upon the
eventual turn OF the market within the
next three to six weeks. Business in
Canton is reported as slightly stronger.
and sales exceeding 2,4OO bales are re-
ported as due to business coming from
European and American buyers during
the past three weeks.
While prices in the Shanghai market
are unchanged, there Is very little
trading being done and agents are OF
the opinion that before any consideru-
BILE trading is put through, n readjust-
ment of prices will be necessary. Eu-
ropean silks, especially Milan offerings,
are moving more satisfactorily. Ital-
ian extra classical is quoted at s4.321a.
Canton flature extra A.-14-18 Is quoted
at t3.4o. On China silks the market
is holding steady, and tussah ~flatures
best grades, are quoted at s1.75 =iS
months.

THE CHICAGO MARKET,

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Conhdence that
some reaction would follow the recent
12-cent break in wheat made a major
ity of traders take the buying side to-
day. In consequence the market was
given a material Int. Prospects Of
smaller world shipments helped the
bulls. Forwarding from Russia, it was
reported being delayed by heavy ice in
the Black Sea. The opening was q
shade to %Gh higher. May started at
91h to 91AmB. a gain of Ii to %@M,
dropped to 91a and rallied to 91%s.
Wet weather west of the Mississippi
river resulted in a little advance fol
corn, but selling on the part of pit
traders nulllied all of the effect. MAY
opened " to h@A up at 4S%@% to 4ss
and fell back to 4sh@%.
Although oats were dull, prices
showed a tendency to ride with wheat.
May started a sixteenth to b@A higher
at S1h to 31%, and kept within that
range for some time.
A bulge In the market sent pork up
ward, but liberal offerings held down
other products. First sales were 10
higher 10 2h down, with May options
at 1856 TO 17.70 for pork, 9.421i to 9.45
lard and 9.45 for ribs.

PIG-IRON BUSINESS is
IMPROVED AND EXPANDING.
In Finished Lines, Bars Consti.
tute a Notable Feature.

CLEVELAND. o.. Feb. 1s.-The Iron
Trade Review today says: Business IN
pig-iron is expanding and sentiment in
this direction has improved to a
marked extent within the past ten
days. This. coupled with continued
steady improvement in finished ma
t%erials, is very gratifying to business
interests In the Central West. It
seems apparent tina the upgrade has
actually been reached and some OF II
negotiated.
February blast furnace reports will
probably show an increased production
of pig-iron on account of the improved
conditions.
A notable feature OF the improve
ment in finished lines Is the increased
business In bars. This Is not yet, by
any means, as heavy as manufacturers
would desire, but there has been q no.
ticeable change for the better. Struc-
tural lettings continue fair and fabri-
eating prices are firmer.
Cast-iron pipe-makers have received
large contracts within the past thirty
days and prices have stiffened ~percepti-
bly,. The scrap market is much
stronger, although actual consumers
are not being induced to buy very
heavily, fearing that the increase in
prices may possibly be short-lived

EXTENDS LINES
AND LAYS NEW CABLE.

NEW YORK, Feb. l6.-The annual
report of the Mackay Companies, issued
last evening. states that new trans
continental liner have been completed
by construction from Reno, New, to
Salt Lake City, Utah, and by construc-
ton from Seattle to Spokane, Wash.
In the ocean system a new additional
submarine cable has beer laid from
Waterville, ireland. to Weston. Eng.
with underground connection to Lon
don. The eastern ends of two Of the
Commercial Cable Company's cables
from America to Europe have been re-
placed by new heavy cables. A long
section OF the cable from Waterville
to Havre, France, has also been re-
newed.
On the land line system the night
letter has been in use for some eleven
months. Much of the day business has
passed into night letters. notably over
one-half of that to and from the en-
tire Pacific coast; the advantage to
the telegraph companies is doubtful,
to say the least. 1t necessitates the
transmission of fifty words instead OF
ten and transmission lie expensive.

FREE TELEGRAPH ORDERS
BY LINES ASSERTED LEGAL.

NEW YORK, Feb. t6.-It ha7
been the custom and practise for rail-
roads 20 make free use of the tele-
graph lines for ordering tickets, maxi
ing sleeping car reservations, and other
service IN behalf of people travelling
over their lines.
Recently, however, the question has
arisen as to how far they may continue
this under the drastic provisions OF the
railroad law. It has been taken up
with their legal advisers. one OF whom
has said without qualification that
such use of interstate wires is legal,
In giving this opinion he says
THE placing of prepaid orders for
passengers and the making of reserva-
lions for these or other passengers re-
late clearly to the operation and the
business OF the railroad company, and
IL IL not unlawful under the terms of
the statute and the contract to use the
Western Union wires for this purpose"
