just forced myself to drag through

"A cousin of mine, who lives at Pop

helped him that I decided to try it
myself. On my second bottle my ap-

GRAIN, MARKET LETTER.

FURNISHED by b. C. Christopher & Co..
226 New England Bldg. Topeka, Ean.)
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 12.-WHEAT-Buying
by seaboard interests took the surplus
out of the market early in the day but
the ensuing rally brought out sufficient
the demand. At the close the market had
n heavy appearance. Cash prizes were firm
with a good demand reported for choice
grades. The Canadian government esti-
mated the wheat crop of Canada at 2SS 000.-
600 against 34,000,000 year ago. A cable
from abroad placed the French wheat crop
293, 000,0 600 against 232, 900 600 last year.
These estimates received a bearish con-
struction. A substantial part of the sell
and as this class of pressure will I'M
doubtedly increase. co-incident with the
movement of the Northwestern crops we
believe the logical policy will be to sell on
bulges with the idea OF replacing on mod
crate declines as exporters are likely to
absorb surplus offerings at such times.
CORN-The highest prices of the day
after which persistent selling by hedgers
resulted in Independent weakness. Re-
eeiptS were estimated at 210 cars and the
cash market was without feature. We be-
lieve a further Increase in the movement
from the interior such indicated will
be. accompanied by gradual lowering of
prices
OATs-As in other grains the bulk of
the selling of oats was by cash interests
Receipts continue large and the cash mar
ket fails to revive. Under these condi-
lions we fail to see how the short crop
this year can exert much, if any inf1u-
ence on prices.

ISSUE new R. 4. RATE ORDER
!. U. C. Asks Joint Class Rates on
Intrastate Shipments.

The state utilities commission. on
August 5, evidently seeking for some
kind of an advantage over the inter
state commerce commission, as that
was the day on which the new rail-
road freight rates became effective,
issued an order, effective September 4,
establishing joint class rates for intra-
state movements within the state.
The order demands that the car
riers in Kansas establish joint dis
lance class rates for intrastate appli-
cation from points of origin in Kan
sas, taking Kansas jobbers' distance
class rates to all Kansas destinations
on the basis of the effective single line
jobbers' distance class rates plus the
following arbitraries:
Classes '-..--.'..
In cents per
hundredweight 10 9 s 6 5
and similar arbitraries for the lower
classes.
Under the commissions orders the
Joint rates plus the arbitraries will
apply from approximately sixty-five
towns In the state to all destinations
within the state, while the distance
rates will apply from all points not
now enjoying jobbers rates, or inter-
mediate to such jobbing points.
If the order is valid an illustration
of the reductions which it will bring is
had from Manhattan to Downs via
Clifton, where the present first-class
freight rate is $1.39, while under the
proposed basis it will be one dollar
Inasmuch, however, as all of the
Kansas rates were increased on Au-
gust under the order of the inter
state commerce commission there is
considerable question whether the
Kansas commission can require the
carriers to make the proposed rates
effective, and it is quite likely that
the entire question will have to go to
the interstate commerce commission
for final adjustment. The interstate
commerce commission has taken the
position that no rates may be changed
in Kansas without its action but it
has announced its willingness to CO.
operate with the utilities commission
in such matters.
