Little Hope for Lower Prices

No hope for lower prices for beef, says the president of the Union stock yards at Chicago.
 Not so many cattle being rais ed; the young animals have been killed off to satisfy the call for beef. It will take years to build up the supply to point where It will equal the demand.
 Probably lower prices will nev- CT come, for population is increas- ing while the range land is de creasing. Even at present high prices it does not pay to raise beef animals on farms where they must be fed for three or four years.

 Class rateson Arizona railroads including all branches and through lines, must be reduced on or before May 1st, from five t. 50 per cent, and in many cases m ,re than 100 per cent, in accor- d lnce with an order issued by the corporation commission.
 This order of the commission expected to save the shippers o Arizona between $500. 900 and $l00. .000 a year.
 Numerous claims for over charges are now in the hands of the corporation commission. Sec retary Charles Smith took the trouble to look up the present rates on seversl of the shipments from which these claims arose, and the rates under the new or der.
 On one shipment of household goods from Kingman to Miami the charge was $103. 93. After the order goes into effect a simi- lar shipment can be made for $74.15. This, it will be noted, is a reduction of more than 100 per cent
 On another shipment of house. hold goods. from Mayer to Miami the freight charge was $76. 80. Under the new rates it would have been $39.31, a saving of S37. .49.
 For two carloads of machinery and old pipe shipped from Kirk land to Gleason the charge was $1101. B. The new rate or the same shipment will be $716. 06 or $385 27 less.
