The island continent fixed stand
ard of value under which no land could
be purchased at value higher than
that at which II was held before the
law was passed for the building of the
new city, Australia will build its new
capital from the ground up" said Mr..
Griffin, whose address was part of the
symposium on capital cities" held bv

Washington. March 24.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission in an
opinion made public. today, estab-
lished the far-reaching principle that
railroad must so adjust its rates
that justice will be done between
communities regardless of state
lines. If railroad makes a low rate
upon traffic wholly within a state,
even when forced to do so by a state
commission, it must grant the same
rate to interstate traffic movement
moving under substantially similar
conditions.
Tho principle was laid down by a
vote of four to three. The minority
held that the powers of Congress
were usurped by the majority opinion
and that the remedy for such a situa-
ton should be applied by additional
legislation. The decision was in the
case of the Railroad Commission of
Louisiana against the st. Louis &
Southwestern Railway and other car
riers operating between Louisiana and
Texas. The case practically precipi-
tated a conflict between federal and
state authorities over the control OF
interstate traffic. The opinion of the

Stock Prices OF Past Week
Touch Highest Level OF Year
attractive Profits Offered.

New York, March 2l.-Prices of
stocks during the past week touched
the highest level during the present
year, and were not far under the best
prices of the recovery of the latter
part of last year. The extent OF the
advance thus covered from the low
point of the February depression Of
fered attractive profit to profession
al operators and selling pressure both
on the long and short side contributed
to occasional reactions. The checks
encountered and the rallying power
displayed demonstrated, however,
that the market was still controlled
by forces making for the rise. The
professional bear element was quick
TO retreat.
Actual happenings in the field OF
business and industry moderately
confirmed the hopes of Improvement
on which the rise in prices was based.
Conditions in the metal trades we're
an important influence in strengthen
ing these hopes. The reported deter
nina ton of the steel manufacturers
to secure better prices for their pro-
ducts rather than larger tonnage
would tend to remedy, it was thought,
the unsatisfactory yield of profits on
present prices. Lower quotations for
the coming season and the recent
concessions in freight rates on Lake
Superior ores We're expected TO help
in this direction. 1t was expected,
also, that the opening of the spring
season would stimulate the demand
for steel products, including railway
equipment. The strong market for
copper metal reflected Il sympathetic
influence through an extensive group
of securities.
