WESTERN RAILROADS
FILE TARIFFS FOR
RATE INCREASES
Michigan Commission Per-
mits 5 Per Cent. Advance
and Roads Appeal to Mis-
souri, and Illinois.

While the Eastern railroads are pre-
senting testimony before the Interstate
Commerce Commission In support of their
rates, virtually all railroads in the State
of Illinois have announced their inten-
tion of advancing freight rates within
the boundaries of the State per cent,
effective November 16. The Michigan Rail-
road Commission has granted the rail-
roads of that State an advance of per
cent. in class freight rates, and the Pub
lie Service Commission of Missouri has
before It an application OF the railroads
in the State of Missouri for authority
to increase freight. passenger and excess
baggate rates
The new freight rates Of the railroads
OF Illinois will go into effect unless the
Public Utilities Commission OF that State
sets 1t aside. Shippers will fight the new
rates.
The Railroad Commission of Michigan
had tentative figures compiled, and, it is
understood, had determined to issue an
order for the increase of 5 per cent, but
desired to give the railroads and shippers
and opportunity to express their opinions,
which were heard at hearing before the
commission yesterday, resulting in the
Increase.
mOHE THAN FER CENT.
The figures compiled by the commission
show that Detroit is hit harder than any
other city, yet the commissions proposed
Increase is lower than the roads specified
per cent, but the largest increases were
at points where the tonnage was heaviest
and smallest where the tonnage was light
est, thereby giving the railroads con-
slderaoly more than an average of per
cent
The Public Service Commission of Mis-
souri, yesterday. upon the application OF
attorneys of the railroads, postponed the
date on which the commission will take
up the request of the roads for increases
in freight, passenger and excess baggage
rates from October q to December /.
The postponement was granted after the
railroads attorneys said that they would
be unable to compile the necessary data
by October q.
In support of their application, rail-
road executives conferred with Governor
Major. OF Missouri. in Jefferson City.
President Bush. OF the Missouri Pacific.
told the Governor that in the year end
ing June 80 the Missouri Pacific, the
Wabash. the St. Louis Southwestern, the
Chicago, RoclSs Island and Pacific, and
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas had each
lost from sl,OOO,0OO to $3,5OOOOO.
WAR A FACTOR.
1t was pointed out that when the Euro
pean war began the strain on the rail-
roads was almost at a breaking point.
and the war had destroyed credit. The
two-cent passenger law, now in effect in
Missouri, was attacked Governor Major
said that he would give the argument
consideration.
The Ann Arbor Railroad has applied |
for an injunction in the United States
District Court at Detroit to prevent the |
Attorney General of Michigan and the |
members of the State Tax Commission OF |
that State from interfering with the |
railroad in case 1t raises passenger rates |
from two to three cents mile.

WHEAT FIRMER WITH
BETTER CABLES AND
BIG EXPORT SALES
Yesterday Was a Banner
Day for Exports in All
Markets of the United

CHICAGO, oct. 9O.-wheat opened firm
er today on better cables and large ex-
port sales.
Yesterday was banner day for exports
In all markets of the United States, espe-
clally at Chicago. Scattered commission
houses bought May literally In the
meanwhile there was free and persistent
selling of December and May and the
market reacted. Trade was in fair
volume.
Bullsh sentiment was tempered at
Liverpool to some extent by the refusal
of mllers to follow the advance In
American and Canadian offers and on
good rains in Australia and favorable
reports from Argentina. 1t was reported
Italy was again in the market for con-
siderable wheat and flour as a result OF
the reduction in the import duties.
Paris reports wheat and flour for mill
tnry use are arriving freely at all ports.
Wheat is scarce in Hungary.
Corn started higher on light offerings
but reacted with wheat and on some
local selling Prices at Buenos Aires
were strong on unfavorable weather.
This caused steadiness at Liverpool.
Oats opened stronger, but also reacted
on proft-takinE sales by yesterdays buy
ers and on some hedging by cash con-
Germs. Liverpool Is showing more inter-
est in foreign oats and buyers abroad
appear to be willing TO follow an upward
movement. Prospects are for good Ar
gentna yield.

,on why sentiment should be more de-
,rsssed on one day than another as long

GOOD BOND DEMAND.
There was a good demand for Canadian
Pacific 6s at 1919 bid. Amalgamated
notes were 9sls bid, and Baltimore and
Ohio notes, due June 1, were quoter at
gS to 9Sh. Good bonds can also find
market at under per cent basis for
the long time issues. The money market
is working easier, with some loans OF call
money at per cent and offers of time
money at 6 per cent although the ruling
rates remain unchanged
Further weakness was shown today in
sterling exchange, with demand down to
N96A, and cables at S497, in spite of a
brisk demand, the supply coming from
oil sections Of the country. Relchsmarks
ard guildcrs were also weak.
The hearing on the application for in
creased freight rates by the Eastern rail-
roads is attracting increased attention be-
cause Of the general belief that the de-
csion of the Commission will enter
largely into any proposition for reopen
Ing OF the Stock Exchange.
EFFECT OF RATE DECISION.
The question, in Wall streets view, has
now become one of general welfare in
stead of n controversy between carriers
and shippers. Foreign bankers attach
moro Importance to the prospects OF this
decision than they do to the matter of
foreign credits or banking developments,
as they believe 1t will determine the dlvi-
dend outlook of several Independent
systms for years to come.
Another call for 5000 900 has been made
on subscriptions to the New York city
loan. This is payable on Thursday, and
Is expected to be followed by further
exports of gold to Canada. The bank
position has become so strong, however,
that the payment will not have a material
effect on the resources of the local banks |
or disturb the financial situation here |
to- the slightest extent.

INSURANCE BROKERS SAY
FIRE RATES MAY GO UP
AS the Result of Board of Trades In
vestigation Of City's Engines.

Higher fire insurance rates in the city,
In the opinion OF Insurance brokers, may
follow the finding Of imperfect FIRE ap-
paratus by the Board of Trades special
committee to investigate fre department
conditions. Although no action has been
taken and none can be predicted with
certainty, a general feeling of dissatis-
faction prevails on account of the report
that so per cent. Of the fire departments
engines are obsolete and 40 per cent. of
the hose defective.
Robert M. Coyle, a member Of the Fire
Underwriters Association, said that the
association had not yet considered the
report, but that insurance brokers had
for long time suspected that protec-
tion from a great FIRE was not Of the
best
President e. G. irwin, of the Fire AS
ISOLATION, refused to comment, saying
that politics was at the bottom of the
fire departments defectiveness. "I'll say
one thing, though" he said, '1f the fires
continue the rates will go up. We can't
sell our goods below cost"
mo one can say yet what effect the
committees report will have" said
George e. Wagner, another broker. THE
rates will not go UP Immediately though
The report of the committee which
was read before the Board OF Trade yes
terday, made revelations which were
as startling. That Phila-
delphia has been lucky In escaping big
fire such as those which devastated Salem
pnd Baltimore, was included among the
committees findings.
