LOOK FOR EARLY RULING
IN FREIGHT RATE CASE.
Rumors, Seemingly Well Founded,
Indicate That Decision Will Be
Favorable to Railroads.
Would Be Welcomed by Business In
terests-The Day on the Local
Stock Exchange.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

In all probability the decision in the
rate case will be handed down by the
interstate commerce commission with
in the next few days, and will be a re-
versal Of the previous ruling, in that
it will be favorable to the railroads.
Rumors, seemingly with much better
foundation than the average, have been
in circulation for some time, but of late
they have taken on more definiteness,
and the possibly" has become prob
ably"
The commission has had the case
some weeks. 1t was not a new matter.
The returns of scores of railroads have
been received at the Offices of the COM
mission. these reports pleading through
their almost unanimous showing, of
decreased earnings, for the granting of
the plea Of officials for higher freight
rates
Business incident to and depending
on the railroads has been languishfng.
at standstill. because the enforced
economies Of the management of
roads. who. in an effort to make both
ends meet, have been unable to keep
pace with usual betterment in equip
ment an maintenance, and have con-
fined orders therefor to the limit of
actual necessity.
No better Christmas present could be
given to the railroads of the country.
nothing more favorable for the bust
ness interests, nothing that would bet
ter please the thousands of investors
in securities of railroads and depend
ent lines.
Putting values under American rail-
road Stocks" has been looked forward
to as most desirable factor in the
reopening of the stock exchanges, as
special inducement to foreign holders
to retain their American investments.
Stocks and bonds have been holding
very well in New York of late. and the
leading rails have given evidence of
the belief that this decision when it
comes will be favorable to the roads.
The granting of the pleas of the rail-
road presidents for the per cent adj
vance, will give a new impetus to all
allied lines of industry.

Smallest Ship to Use Panama Canal.

The smallest vessel which has made
use of the Panama canal in CONNER
cial service to date is the Nicaraguan
motor schooner Wilhelmina. which Mo-
vember q. completed a double transit
Of the canal. She is a craft of only
forty-six tons net measurement. so
that 1t is doubtful whether the $3.50
which she paid in tolls for passing
through the canal one way covered the
cost Of the vast quantity Of water
locked through with her. the electric
power necessary to operate the mechan-
ism and the manual labor involved.
