NO BIG PASSENGER CUT.
Abnormal Traffic Made Necessary by
War. Rail Heads Say.

Chicago, Jan. 4-There will be no
radical reductions in passenger service
made by western railroads. Necessary
passenger travel is heavier than in
normal times, even exclusive OF troop
movements, because many persons
must make journeys on government:
business and to maintain the national
prosperity. and therefore It Is inadvis-
able to make a serious curtailment OF
passenger service. This is the gist OF
a statement given out by r. II. Ashton.
president Of the Chicago and North
western. following a meeting yesterday
Of the executives OF the western roads.
to adjust their business affairs to gov
eminent direction.
Freight routing presents perhaps the
most important problem with which
the roads have to deal. Investigation
Of this problem Is under way. under
the direction Of a committee on direct
routing, OF which j. G. Woodwork.
vice president Of the Northern Pacific.
Is chairman. This committee calls up
on shippers to Cooperate with 1t by
the sensible routing OF freight ship
ments," and the exercise OF "discrimi-
nation and good judgment" and Mr..
Woodwork Is sanguine that this CO.
operation. added to the labors Of his
committee IN efecting the elimination
of circuitous routing. win do much to
relieve freight congestion.
Many OF the evils that formerly ex-
listed owing to competition among the
roads, resulting in the use OF many
circnitous and impractical routes" said
Mr.. woodwor:hs statement. have al
ready been eliminated by the railroads
themselves during the last year by
teamwork and the ready response OF
shippers.
Now that cooperation IN railroad :
ing has superseded competition" said
Nr. Woodwork" there will be many
illustrations OF the good results OF such
a course. Heretofore the government
has forced us to compete: now we are
being forced to cooperate. and the re-
suits will SPEAK for themselves.

Cattle.
Cattle offerings lacked quality Out

The country is liquidating shortfed
cattle and will not desist until the crop
has been cashed in. Steers selling at
s1O@12 were in profuse supply, ana
most of them did not realize to exceed
initial cost. Eastern beef trade was
congested and choice cattle were not
wanted Butcher trade was In rela-

the major branch OF the trade. Cows

Receipts at all markets THURSDAY

eleven points received $4,000, being
$4,000 more than on the previous
Thursday ard $4,000 more than year

a week ago was at st. Paul and Miss

$1,000 of the $4,000 at eleven points.
Arrivals here On the previous Thurs
day were 1896. while year ago only
1928 were received.
Sheep.
The supply Of sheep was small.
A feature OF the trade was the sale
OF a string OF fed western ewes OF
prime class at 1910, averaging 1ia
pounds. This price was the highest Tor
ewes since last June. Other strictly
good ones went around $11.Ts. Some
western wethers of variety which
made $1,000 upon last arrival were ex-
pected. Some western yearltngs went
down to $3.50 and others landed
around $14.25. with a few two and three
year olds out.

Lamson's Grain Letter.

203 Masonic Temple: Phone 1881
Chicago, Jan. 4.-Corn-Speculativ
trade has practically abandoned the
idea Of profits on the short side OF
corn. It, therefore, took little buying
today to advance the market steadily,
despite the fact that cash corn was
not acting well. The urgent demand
for No. yellow to fill shipping sales
appears to be almost satisfied. and this
accounted for the weak close in cash
corn. Consignment notices are in,
creasing. Missouri river points are
shipping in this direction.
Oats-The high prices for cash oats
encouraged operations on the long side
and, while the marke, was erratic. it
closed at substantial net gains. The
demand for the cash article is I'M
abated, arrivals being well absorbed
to fill previous shipping sales. While
consignment notices indicate an in
crease in receipts. this enlarged move
ment has failed to matertdlize for so
long that the local element is very
skeptical as to the prospect OF pressure
from this source.
Stocks-Stocks trended lower during
the early trading. a disposition being
shown to await receipt OF the presi-
dents railway message to congress.
Thereafter the market was nervous,
and, altho realizing sales were heavy,
there was nothing to cause serious
liquidation and the undertone was
fairly steady. Casual examination CT
the presidents message indicates that

which accompanied the proclamation
