Effort Making To
Adjust Rates On

1t Is understood that the federal rail
road administration will take imnie-

ancy between the rates of that region
and the southern region. which permits
the Missouri Pacific railroad to handle
cotton out of Memphis to New Orleans,
Boston and New York tat rates from S
8sto IL cents per hundred pounds cheaper
than any railroad operating east out
Of the city can quote to the same des-
tirations.

which would raise Eastern rates up to
those of the Missouri Pacific railroad
for under the schedules Just published,

cotton to Boston over the Missouri

( sibly $3.50 per car.
Some contend that the railroad ad
ministration has the authority to cen.
slider the matter as an emergency and
raise the Western line rates to the
Eastern level on one days notice.
This would mean a change In the
rates for the entire Southwestern re.
zion, and shippers do not believe that
such sweeping action would be taken
without due notice to the shippers in
terested. Under ordinary procedure in
such a case, the railroads would first
apply to the St Louis Western district
traffic committee for hearing on the
changes asked The shippers would be
given an opportunity to be heard before
this committee, and the findings sub
snitted to the Western district freight
traffic committee at Chicago for review
where the shippers would also be heard.
The Chicago committee would then
admit its recommendations to the d.

morning with traders showing a DISPOSE
tion to wait for the effect of yester-
days government reports on the spot
markets. The opening was barely
steady at decline of 20 to rs points in
response to lower Liverpool cables and
English selling, but overnight reports
from the South indicated a continued
good trade demand at a higher basis
and prices held pretty steady around

trading.
Offerings increased shortly after the
call, owing partly, perhaps, to uneasi-
ness over the condition OF President
Wilson, while there also was scattered
Southern selling and realizing, or liqui-
