Railroad Commission
Shows No Intent
to Pay
DINGEMAN TIRES
OF STATE DELAY

Detroit will refuse to consuk fur
ther with the state railroad COM
mission over the hiring Of an aud
itor and an expert appraiser to 90
over the appraisal figures submitted
by the telephone company. unless
the commission IL willing to come
through" and pay for the hire of
the experts. Corporation Counsel
Dingeman has patiently waited for
the commission to signify a willing.
ness to pay the costs. but the com.
mission has remained mum.
When the commissions repre-
sentative, c. B. Hall, conferred with
Controller Engel and myself he
agreed that the commission ought
to pay for the hire OF the experts
and charge II up against the tele-
phone company, the petitioner"
said the corporation counsel. "If
the railroad commission does not In
tend to pay the costs Of proving up
the company's figures. then why
should we submit our selection OF
auditor and expert to the commits
sion? have written a letter to.
day. informing the commission that
the city is prepared to select its
own experts and pay the costs. The
railroad commissioners were very
anxious that the city go over the
appraisal as quickly as possible 80
that the telephone company could
benefit soon from any concessions
they might be granted. but the COM
mission is not In any apparent
hurry to help us get under way"
The Detroit Trust Co. has been
tentatively selected as auditor and
Prof Burch as appraiser, and II is
likely that they will be instructed
to go ahead with the work as soon
as the corporation counsel receives
a reply 10 his latest letter to the
commission. The cost OF hiring an
auditor and expert appraiser will be
about $4,000.
In connection with the telephone
investigation. Controller Engel for
warded communication to the
council committee on ways and
means that may give the inquiry a
new twist. Recently the controller
wrote to Is different cities, Milwau-
kee included. requesting schedules
OF telephone rates for the purpose
Of comparison. He received an an.
swer from Milwaukee to the effect
that the city attorney there was
preparing brief covering a tele-
phone hearing for presentation TO
the Wisconsin commission. and was
also planning TO file complaint
with the interstate commerce COM
mission in Washington for the pur.
pose OF having an investigation
made OF the American Telephone 4
Telegraph Co. and of the Western
Electric Co. which companies an
nually exact a great sum OF money
from the Milwaukee company, it's
claimed. This sum, the Milwaukee
attorney believes, Is unreasonable
and unwarranted.
He suggests plan whereby De-
troit. Chicago. Cleveland and Mime
apolis cooperate with Milwaukee In
conducting the investigation, the re-
suits Of which will be OF benefit to
all. The aldermen will take the
matter up with the corporation
counsel and 1t Is possible that De-
troit may also decide to invoke fed
eral aid in an investigation OF the
telephone company's financial az
fairs, going behind the company's
appraisal figures.

Chicago. Aug. 3.-Hogs ranged higher
the east.
Nowhere can scarcity of hogs, present
or prospect be detected. They are
showing up at western markets in old
fashioned runs indicating that the
profit making industry has come back
in response to remunerative prices, in
somewhat emphatic manner. Fortu-
nately there is pork enough to go
around, in fresh and cured condition,
otherwise current scarcity of beef and
mutton would be more severely felt by
meat consumers. What the future has
in store for the hog market is open to
conjecture. Patrick Cudahy, the oracle
of South Milwaukee, predicted recently
that the common price would go to Sc,
and recently that forecast has aDpar-
entity been deserving of credence. That
there will be enough pork to go around
is a cinch.
Cattle.
Cattle offerings lacked quality.
A year ago the financial crisis Incl
dental to breaking out of war in Europe
exerted a paralyzing influence on trade.
On that day seventy-SiX loads OF Mon
tana and South Dakota arrived. Prime
cattle sold at $3.50 on that session, with
the bulk below 1925. Two years ago
SO was the limit and as the market was
then flooded with drouth refugees, $1.25
7.65 bought considerable half fat stuff
half the crop selling below SO.
July receipts were only few in ex-
cess of year ago and with that eNcep-
ton is was the lightest July run since
1904. a!tho. owing to closure of the
feeder outlet beef tonnage was larger
than the figures indicate.
Sheep.
Sheep and lambs were scarce at most
of the outside markets.

Chicago, Aug. 3-After a hesitating
start wheat advanced today, influenced
by reports from North Dakota that
black rust was developing rapidly.
Near Fargo large areas were said TO
be badly affected. Lower quotations
from Liverpool tended to weaken the
market here at the outset and so did
prospects Of clearing weather in the
domestic winter crop belt Opening
prices, which ranged from l cent de-
cline TO Is advance, were followed by a
moderate rise all around.
Weakness developed later owing TO
slowness Of export inquiry and because
of warmer weather in the Canadian
northwest. The close was unsettled, Y

Corn buying was stimulated by good
eastern shipping demand. Country Of

inclined to hold at about that range.
The close was at the same as last
night to 4 cent down.
Oats.
Excessive rains brought about higher
values for oats. There were many
complaints that quality Of shipments
would be poor.
Provisions.
Selling weakened provisions. Higher
prices for hogs were ignored.
