A Washington dispatch states that
lower express rates throughout the
country will become effective February
2. By the terms of the recent inter
state commerce order not only will the
rates be reduced materially, but the
companies will comply with ~regula-
tions for improved methods of service.
Experts of the commission estimate
that the average reduction in charges
will be approximately II per cent.
One official of a large express com-
pany informed the commission that
tho holiday business for 1913 was %
per cent less than it was in 1912. He
attributed the loss to parcel post.
