 Lack of space forbids mention of more than a few of the important items of daily consumption on which large savings in freight charges will be effected by these reductions, but some idea of their importance may be gained from tine following:
 Nearly all boots, shoes, dry goods and notions are shipped in here from New York territory, and oD them the reduction will be about 80 cents per ewt. On similar articles from Chicago the reduction amounts to Il cents, and from St. Louis to 6l cents per cwt.
 Groceries are more largely shipped in car loads and rate on canned goods from Chicago is reduced from $1.70 to $1.47, a saving of g cents per cwt.. while from Missouri River the reduction is 27 cents.
 Packing house products are large ly shipped from Missouri River points, and the reduction on car load shipments amount to 42 cents per cwt.
 Crackers come from Denver, and | the reduction on less than ear load shipments is 72 cents per ewt., while the rate on ear loads has been re- uuced lI cents.
 Colorado potatoes have paid 93 cents per cwt. The new rate of 70 ! cents makes a reduction of g cents, or about one-fourth cent per pound.
 Among the most important redue- tions to a mining community is that on machinery, and while very low rates have been carried on this com modity for some time past, the pres ent reduction amounts to 3 cents from Chicago, 10 cents from Missouri River and 21 cents from Colorado.
 Wire and wire fencing is used largely by the cattleman and farmer, and on these commodities the rate from Chicago mas been reduced 39 cents and from Colorado 15 cents per cwt.
 On iron rails, which are shipped in ear loads for the mining industry, the rate from Colorado, which has been very low, remains the same, but from Chicago the rate is reduced s per gross ton, while from Pittsburg territory the reduction is even great CT, account no through rate formerly in effect from points east of Chi eago.
 Furniture, as generally shipped, in mixed ear loads, mas heretofore paid a rate of $2.57 per cwt. from Chi cago, while the new rate will be $2.09, saving of AS cents per ewt., which will amount to considerable, on heavy pieces. On straight ear loads of iron and brass beds, wire etc, the old commodity rate has been $1.ss, while the new class rate which will apply on such shipments in ear loads of 30,OOO lbs. from Chicago, is $1.47, a saving of fl cents per cwt.
 Less than ear load shipments of furniture take class rates and the , reduction on such shipments is as 1 shown in table of class rates, given i above.
 Agricultural implements have not ; generally been shipped to Prescott in car loads, but the growing demand for them in this county, and the re- I duction in car load rate from Chi eago, from s2.O5 to $1.5O, a saving $ of 5 cents per cwt., and much more as compared with the old less than car load rates, may enable the Pres eott merchants to ship prOfitably in ( car loads and still considerably re- auee the price to the Turehaser.
 Eggs move largely from Kansas points in less than ear loads at sec ond class rate, and this reduction amounts to 9s cents per ewt., or about 50 cents per case.
