Washington, Aug. 26.-Declaring

dent Wilson. recommends that opera
zion of refrigerator cars and of cars
used for transportation of meat ami
mails be declared a government mo-
nopoiy. 1t recommends further that
the property concerned, including ic-
ing stations and other facilities as well
as the cars. be acquired by the gov
eminent and railroads thereafter be
licensed to own ard operate them.
The big packers, the report says, now
own 90 per cent of all the refrigerator
equipment in the country suita BILE for
the transport of fresh meat.
Get Rail Advantages.
''The present country wide system
OF distribution by the five big packers
has grown up from their control of
refrigerator car lines in conjunction
with various pools" the report says in
part.
IN turn the volume OF traffic of the
five packers has enabled them to Sc
cure from the railroads advantages
over competing shippers. Formerly
In the shape OF direct rebates, these
advantages are now usually in expe-
dited service to the big packer cars;
in favorable mixing rules which in
clude all their diversified products and
even many articles not related TO the
packing industry: by allowances paid

President Wilson's refusal to aecede TO the
demands of the railroad shopmen and his

at the active opening today. Steels and
railroad equipments were the strongest

fore the end of the first half hour gains
OF one to three points were recorded.

Morning Grain Gossip.

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 26.-The Tribune !:
GRAIN: Ten cars OF Southwest Texas
White corn were sold yesterday to come to
Chicago. This is the first time in the his
tory of the trade that new corn has been
sold from Texas to Chicago IN August or
any other time. While most traders re-
gard the offerings of Texas corn IN North
ern markets as bearish factor, and likely
to I'll the gap between the exhaustion of
supplies Of old and the beginning Of the
new movement new crop, they reason that
Texas corn is like the stories of Argen-
tina coming here in large volume that were
sent out last winter. There is consider
able underlying bullishness prevailing in
some quarters in regards to oats. This is
due mainly to the lightweight of the grain,
the materially smaller supplies as COM
pared with last year, and the fact that the
eastern domestic demand promises to be
much larger and more persistent than last
year. The latter is a new factor in the
market.
