It was said that the Elks had re- stricted their invitation list before the dance which was given on Fri day night. It is true that there were fewer invitations sent out but it is also true that there was an even more general acceptance tban usual and the affair on Friday night ranks with the largest given by the lodge during the present season. It was one of the best too. with select at tendance and even better music than the usually good music that is fur nished for the Elks' dances.

Mr.. Lamon declares that the egg pro.

fits in with conditions in the District

Scarcity of Ships Sends

BOSTON, Oct. 2o.-Freight fates on
transatlantic liners sailing from Bos-
ton have advanced TO q point not
eaualled for fifteen years. and owners
OF vessels are reaping a rich harvest
between bumper cargoes and high
rates. Exporters are begging for cargo
space IN vessels and shipping agents
are picking and choosing, among the
vast amounts Of cargo offered, those
which will net them the greatest re-
turns.
The rate on grain to London is now
10 cents bushel, an advance OF s cents
In two months. The rate one year ago
was ~ cents q bushel. The rate on
grain to Liverpool has Jumped from q
cents to 10 cents i bushei since August
and has Just doubled since October OF
last year.
At these rates Boston shipping agents
have booked q round half million BUSH
els OF grain for shipment from this
port before December I.
Rates on hay. cotton, lumber, tobacco.

American commodities have andvar,ced
% to 100 per cent. Scarcity of bottoms

That q concerted movement is going "a

out the country this winter to obtain

the plea that II is necessary to make
improvements and betterments, has be-
come known here. Interstate Commerce

Simultaneous with this. powerful organ
isatons OF shippers are going to make

At the same time they will take the
position that there is just one way to
get such extensions and betterments,
and that is by first getting more reve-
nue., which will be possible only through
ATCtBnI Tdtcb.
Many Of the leading organizations OF
shippers do not so much object to an
increase Of 6reight ratesJ providing that
increase 10 to be used m the improve
ment OF the roads and the enlargement
of facilities for handling traffic. whas
they do object to is to have rates In
creased, to have the money turned into
extensions and betterements, and then
to have fhe roads turn around and pile
on increased capitalization because of
the extensions and betterments for
which the public has paid.

The result ID that an acute issue prom
ises to be sharply raised before Com
sress this winter. The shippers are
going to. insist that II the railroads are
to- be allowed to increase rates there
