son. United States Attorney from Chr
cag0. has arrived i'm Washington TO sun
NIT 10 the Attorney General the plans o:
the National Packing Company for tho

case. held a Ions conference with James
4. Fowler. assistant 10 the Attorney Gen

THE CROP MARKETS
Wheat Higher, Corn and Oats
Down, Coffee Up a Little.

News OF rust in spots, an increased cX-
port demand and firm and higher markets
abroad affected the local wheat market TO
such an extent that although July closed
&c lower the other months resisted sell
ing pressure and showed i9li.c gain ct
the end of trading. While the rust reports
were only a small part Of the influences
governing the market, there is a strong
feeling that caution is advisable in follow
ing a downward movement, as the crop
is not yet entirely free from frost and
rust damage, while a wet harvesting
would make considerable difference IN
both quantity and quality OF wheat. Corn
felt the influence Of beneficial rains in
the Southwest, and was quiet and easier.
closing at 4 net loss OF Agliac Oats broke
SIC in the July option on liberal country
offerings, and new crop months lost "a
3sc, although the close showed a slight
rally.
Coffee had firm and higher foreign mar
kets and an indisposition on the part Of
Brazilian shippers to make concessions as
the basis OF II covering movement, which
Kept tho market steady most of the day
Labor conditions in Brazil which are ap-
parently Interfering with the movement
also helped the hrmness, and on sales
of $3.50 bags futures closed steady at IA
u points net advance, with the spot mar
Ret unchanged but steady.

MAY INCREASE STOCK
Rumor of New Issue to Come in
Great Northern.

The Street has q rumor which seems TO
be growing stronger that Great Northern
is TO have an issue OF new capital securi-
ties and that stockholders will be given
attractive rights of subscription for the
new issue The strength OF the stock
and the information that James ]. Hin
and his associates hare been having some
lengthy conferences at his Office in New
York have rather given a color 10 the
report. and the question now is, II So
where will the announcement be made?
Whether tho Great Northern is in need
Of money does not seem 10 come into the
question very seriously, as on general
principles all railroads need money, and
while the Great Northern has been put in
excellent physical condition other i'm
provements or acquisitions might be In
the future plans of Mr.. Hill and his
directors The fact that among the
moneyed interests In the Street there is
such a tone OF optimism regarding Great
Northern, as we'll as Northern Pacific,
seems to show. like the straw which way
the wind blows but this feeling toward
these roads may be the result Of a good
crop outlook in the Northwest, and, OF
course, plus the new financing. COmpeti-
ton with the Canadian railroads might
be a reason for more money TO provide
increased mileage and facilities. II il all
speculative, but IL Is Interesting. and. as
in the case Of General Electric, there
may bee some fire with so much smoke.

BACK FROM COAST
States Needs of Coast Cities in
Terminals.

Some time since 4 report was current
that Irving T Bush, Of the Bush Ter
mlnal Company, together with party OF
New York fnanciers, had gone 10 the
coast for the purpose OF organizing a ter
minaI company similar TO the ono i'm this
city. Mr.. Bush returned Yesterday and is
reported as follows.
What IL needed. not only IN Tacoma.
but in other cities a. well, are industries
first and wharves and docks afterward.
People think the terminal business IL
vastly more profitable than It really is.
New York has a large volume OF ocean
going commerce and consequently large
facilities for handling 1t which pay the
owners large returns. II Is possible there
20 build large docks and wharves and at
the same time realize fair return. on
the other hand. Boston steamers pay
nothing for docking privileges.
~ believe the time has come when prl-
vate capital can no longer be invested IN
wharvos with safety Competition is
growing and competitors are other cities
who have invested their community mon
eys Los Angeles has just voted $1,000, 90
FOR harbor and dock improvements; Seat
tie has made substantial appropriations,
and large Eastern cities are doing the
same Massachusetts, has recently voted
50 0p.010 To be spent on Boston Hafbor.
and cities all over the country are going
after the occango!ng commerce. ono dis
tinct advantage Is the lower borrowing
capacity which a city has than an irdi-
vidual or a corporation"

PROBING THE ICE TRUST
Head Of American Co. Before
Grand Jury in Capital.
lFroIn the Tribune bureau.

Washington, July 26.--Wesley NJ. Oler.
or New York City. president of the Amer
lcan Ice Company. was a witness before
rue grand jury in the District Court to-
day In an investigation begun by the De-
partment OF Justice 10 determine whether
there is an Ice trust in Washington.
MT Oler was summoned by the United
states Attorneys office, with instructions
to bring with him all books and records
covering the transactions of his concern
Tor the last six years, but he refused 10
comply with tho order relative 10 produc-
ing the books and records in question,
with the result that the District Attorney
threatens TO institute contempt Of court
proceedings. Mr. Oler agreed TO submit
for examination all local contracts and
any records In the office OF the Washing
ton branch of the corporation.
1T would be an unwarranted seizure to
compel me TO produce the books for the
last six years" declared Mr.. OleT. While
have othing 10 hide do not wish TO
repeat the experience we had in an In
quiry In New York, when volumes of our
records were left in the corridor 10 DO
kicked around by any passersby.'
MI Olcr further states that II would
cripple the business Of his concern 10
have the books and records tied UP IN
court He added that the investigation
IS for political effect" saying that sew
eral other inquiries have been conducted
Tor political purposes.
lee prices have been the subject Of in
vcstigation by Department OF Justice
Go tn
Gmated by the government prosecutors
that there is much evidence 10 show that
Consumers pay unreasonable prices. The
relation OF the fee dealers 10 the govern
mcut departments IN the matter Of fur
nisuing ice has also been investigated.
The grand jury last week indicted five
laundrymcn on a charge OF conspiracy
TO defraud the government by means OF
an agreement relative to contracts for
washing the towels used IN the depart
ments II was alleged that the defend
ants agreed TO divide the contracts
About dozen ice dealers besides the
officers OF the American company were
summoned before the grand jury. S. A.
westerly manager OF the American com
pany, was witness to-day.
The average price OF ice IN washing
ton "a 10 cents 100 pounds, according
10 evidence adduced before the grand
Jury to-day. 1t was stated that the pre-
valling wholesale price is . cents lU

Indictments were returned against the
American Ice Company and several other
dealers In 1906. and they are still pend
ing They charged a violation Of the
sherman antitrust law
An action in the District OF Colum-
bia. where the federal government has
jurisdiction, IS The only way, It is de-
clared, that the Department OF Justice
can touch the fee situation under the
sherman law, because interstate traffic in
ice practically has ceased. Ice IS now
manufactured in almost every municipal
ity and the commerce is consequently in
trastate depriving the national govern
meut Of jurisdiction.

FREIGHT RATES ADVANCED
Pacific Coast Hard Hit in New
Schedules Announced.

San Francisco, July 2s.-Announcement
Of q sweeping advance in transcontinen-
tai freight rates, In some Instances
amounting 10 100 per cent, has been made
at the general offices OF the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe Railway companies,
following the receipt OF advance copies
of the new tariffs from Eastern officials.
These increases are due. the companies
state, 70 the rigid enforcement of the
long and short haul laws and the sue
cessful complaint OF intermediate points
against terminal rates based on water
competition.
East bound rates are principally ahect-
ed. particularly as 10 shipments in less
than carload lots. All California products
going East after August ls Will move
under an advance ranging from 10 TO 100
per cent. On September the west bound
rates become operative. at sufficient In
crease 10 destroy all the benefit Of water
competition now enjoyed by shippers.
Western bound changes are less radical
than the east bound, ranging from about
o. per cent TO 20 per cent. The tariff
includes all classes OF goods.
