commission today and asked that the
order effecting the mileage pulling" to
become operative on February Il be
postponed until the interstate COM
merce commission shall have passed

such further date as the state commits
sion might elect.
The commission will pass upon the
petition on January g. and has called
upon the travellers associations and
commercial bodies interested to show
cause, if they can, why the petition
should not be granted.
The impression is that the petition
will be granted, and if it is not. it
seems likely that the railroads will
proceed by injunction against the com
mission to prevent the order becoming
operative on February l.
The South Carolina case will settle in

a good part of the Southwestern winter

like the bull side, but want something
more tangible than has appeared OF late.
Those who have been best buyers of corn
said last night they considered corn the
cheapest of all grains and feed, being rel.

said they did not believe the market was
ready to hold an advance above present
prices. and that the rise should induce
