Special Rates AnnuIIed.

The Constitutionalist railroads in Mexico have announced that hereafter all special freight rates will be an nulled and allShippers must pay the regular rate. The special rates were established years ago with the idea of aiding national industries and many shippers were permitted to transport raw and manufactured products with- in the republic at reduced rates. The announcement of the annulment of these rates declares the necessity for these special privileges no longer exists.
