REFUSES TO REOPEN
 FREIGHT RATE CASE
1. C. C. Turns Down Request of
 Western Railroads

Washington, Nov 11.-Applications of the western railroads for a reopen ing of the advance freight rate case were denied yesterday by the inter- state commerce com mission.
 At the same time the commission of it's own initiative ordered an inves- tigation of rates, rules and practices of western railroads in relation to the transportation of livestock, fresh meats and packing house products. These commodities were among those on which the roads sought to have rates increased. No reason was as- signed for the refusal to reopen the case
 Cause of Decision.
 It is understood, however, that the decision was due to the fact that in- creases proposed by the same roads on other commodities have not been acted upon, and the fact that an in vestigation is to be undertaken of livestock rates.
 The petition was filed several weeks ago, but final action on it was deferred until all members of the commission were present.
 $1O,OOO,OOO Revenues a Year.
 The western roads in their original case asked for increases which they said would mean added revenues of about $10,O00,0O0 year, but the con- mission granted only such increases as it calculated would add about $1,50O,- 900 per year. In the petition for re-hearing the principle reason giv- eh was that the commission had failed to consider the need of addi- tional revenue. A re-opening and re- hearing was asked in respect to the rates on livestock, fresh meats, pack ing house products and grain and grain products.
 Briefs and arguments before the commission indicate that the added revenues through the increases asked on fresh meats, packing house prod ucts and livestock would have been about $3,000,O00. The investigation now undertaken may result in giving the carriers at least a portion of that sum.

There has been some Iactivf| in Stanley Rule & Level whicI13pe el quoted 385 bid, 400 asked.s ATiffrI tendency is shown in Union Manl featuring Company stock whfch9l quoted 79 bid, 81 asked and Gll1el Britain Machine, which is quoted tlI same with sales ranging fromh78s so. Stanley Works remains the isaffl at 69 bid, Fl asked. All of the nffj vestment stocks are selling at highd prices than they were four week ago. It is only the war stocks fhd have been declining. The Hart \ Hutchinson company has called i'd $100,000 new stock, increasing thel capitalization from $200,000 to s8O0l 900. This stock is very closely heI} and probably none of the fraction| will come on the market.
