Rear Admiral Albert w. e rant was appointed a vice admiral by President Wilson. The promotion is part of a partial organization of the Atlantic fleet, which has been ordered by Sec retary Daniels to meet new problems resulting from expansion of the force to almost twice its normal size
 Admiral Mayo, the secretary said; will remain in general command, with the immediate authority under i1irn divided between Vice Admiral Coff- man. at present second in command, and Vice Admiral Grant. The former Is to have direct command of divi- sion containing most of the dread naughts and designated as force No. 2" while Vice Admira1N Grant will command the remainder of the fleet under the designation of force No. l.,
 It is understood that the reorganiza- tion will not affect. the division of the feet now in European waters under Vice Admiral Sims.
 Vice Admiral, Grant will be succeed ed as commander of the submarine force by Captain S. S.. Robison, now commanding the battleship South Carolina.
 Vice Admiral Grant was chief of staff of four successive commanders of the Atlantic f1eet-Evens, Thomas, Sperry and Schroeder-and was in command of the uperdreadnaught Texas when he was selected to head the submarine force.

STOCK MARKET

New York. July 21-The week end session opened with a continuance of yesterdays closing with a covering movement in steels and other equip ment shares, as well as shippings and oils. Gains in these issues varied from one to four points, Bethlehem Steel old stock scoring the greatest advance. Clippers were firm and motors showed none of their recent pressure. Dealings in railroads were extremely light, with trivial changes in Reading and Union Pacific. Steels and marines extended their gains in the course of the first half hour.
 War shares and equipments were the chief features of the market. rail-
 roads and other staple issues being
 largely neglected. Bethlehem Steel,
 old stock, led the movement with an advance of seven points, others of the same class, including United States Steel, gaining one to two points. Ship pings were decidedly better on the improved outlook at Washington and coppers and oils followed in their | turn at more moderate advances. The closing was strong. Total sales, $50, ,0O0 shares. Bonds were firm, the Liberty issue varying from par to 99.46. sA :

4nE FARMER AND
 THE RAILROADS.

'Railway freight rates are lower as present compared with the prices ef agricultural products than they over were before in the history of the United states.'' the Railway Age Ga zette points out in it's current issue in an editorial commenting on the fact that the farmers. especially in the middle West. continue to oppose advances in rates. while most other business interests favor them.
 m is often, said, the Railway Age Gazette remarks, "that while the prices which consumers have to pay for agricultural products have in creased greatly, the farmers have not received the benefit of these In creases. official statistics on the subject demonstrate the incorrectness Of this contentfon. The Statistical Abstract of the United States shows that between 1910 and 191eNthe farm values of the most important agricul- tura1 products increased as follows: wheat, from ss.3. cents per bushel, to sl.60. or 81 1-2 per cent; corn, from 4s cents to sss cents. or 85 per cent; oats, from 34.4 cents to 52.4 cents, or b2 per cent; barley, from 57S cents to 8s.2 cents, or 53 per cent; rye, from n 1-2 cents to s1.22, or 7o.S per cent; buckwheat, from es cents to s1.13. or 7o.S per cent; potatoes, from 55.7 cents to $1.4s. or 162 per cent.
 'tMeantime. railway rates almost stood still. Tn consequence, where as in 1910 the freight rates on a bushel of wheat from Chicago to New York was II per cent of the farm value of the wheat. in 1916 it was only s.s per cent. of the farm value of the wheat. Likewise, while in 1910 the freight rate on bushel of corn from Chicago to New York was IS. 6 per cent. of the farm value of the corn, In 1916 the rate from Chicago to New York was only 10 1-2 per cent of the farm value of the corn.
 asHow much the farm value of agri- cultural products have increased rel atively to the rates which the railways received is strilxingly illustrated by the increases which have taken place in the number of ton-mi1es and passen- ger-mi1es of transportation which can De bought with given quantity of any farm product, For example, in
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-07-21
of Finance

1910 fbushel of corn at the average farm value would buy 63 ton-miles of transportation, while in 1916 1t would l buy 126 ton-miles, an increase of ex- actly 100 per cent. Likewise. in 1910, a bushel of wheat at the aver
 age farm value would buy 117 ton
 miles of transportation, while in 1916 1t would buy 227 ton-rniles, an in crease of 94 per cent. Even more remarkable are the relative changes in the farm value of potatoes and in the average railway rates. In 1910 a bushel of potatoes at the average farm value would buy "A ton-miles of transportation, while in 1916 1t would buy POT ton-miles, an increase of 166 per cent. Certainly with such increases as l have occurred in the
 prices that the farmer receives he has become able to pay much higher rates than he is now paying.
 Furthermore, it would be to his
 interest to pay higher rates. Good and adequate service is more impor- tant to him, as we'll as to all other shippers. than the lowest rates than can possibly be obtained Now, as | a matter of fact, the farmer, like other shippers, has not within recent years been receiving adequate ser
 vice. Why? Because the railways have not been able to increase their transportation have increased They have been unable to increase their facilities sufficiently because, except ing in the abnormal year 1916, their
 net return has shown steadily
 downward tendency and this down ward tendency has been due to the i fact that they have been unable to se- cure increases of rates to offset the | increase in their expenses. Finally, their inability to secure reasonab ble advances in rates has been chiefly due | to opposition which has come, not only in the 1 5 per. cent. case, but in earlier rate advance cases, from the agricultural districts, and especially from those in the middle West.
 i s'In thus opposing all advances in freight rates regardless of the great
 changes which have been and still are taking place in the transp ortation 1 field, the farmer is injuring himself more than anybody else. He is los ling. and will Ncontinue to lose, much
 more money because he cannot get enough cars in which to ship his pro- ducts when he wants to ship them than he has gained or can gain by freight rates which are so low as to 1isa1ble the railways from providing sufficient facilities."
