ASSOCIATED PRESS WINS.
Appellate Court Sustains Judgment
Obtained Against Cable Company.

NEW YORK, July 13.-The appellate
division Of the Supreme Court has
affirmed the judgment of the lower
court which sustained the contentious
of the Associated Press in the suit
brought against it by the Postal Tele-
graph Gable Company. The telegraph
company refused to allow the Asso-
ciated Press certain reductions
granted to others in leased wire rates
on the ground that such reductions
did not apply in the case Of an ex-
listing contract.
The court holds that the rates gen.
orally announced were applicable to
all users under similar conditions and
that the attempt to collect from the
Associated Press higher rate con-
stituted an unjust discrimination and
was in violation of the interstate COM
merce act.
The court affirmed the judgment,
which allowed only the reduced rates
admitted by the Associated Press to
be due.

Advantage Of Plan.

1.-THE administrative method Of agree
ing upon a fair price has this very great
advantage which any element Of rigidity
would in large part destroy, namely, the
advantage of f1exibility of rendering
possible at every stage and in the view
of every experience a readjustment
which will be fair alike to producer and
consumer.
"a fixed minimum price of $40 per
bushel would. 1t is estimated, add 81
per barrel to the price OF flour; in other
words, raise the price of flour from the
present price of $10.50 to $3.50 at the
mill. and inasmuch as we are antici-
pating a crop of approximately 900, ,000,-

would be equivalent to the immense
