mako tho ducuo by November 20,
which vas not done because the rail-
roads opened negotiations with the
commission suggesting hat a 10 per
cent decrease in freight rates on all
agricultural products be substituted
for tho larger decrease on grain pro
ducts and hay alone.
The commission. however. by the or
der issued today disregarded the com
promise proposed by tho railroads and
makes the larger decreases on hay and
grain mandatory upon the roads.
Tho order issued today made speci-
flo and definite the hay and grain re-
auctions.
The original decision said railroads
should reduce tho rates on the pro-
ducts oncerne by one-haif OF tho In
~creases given in 1899. The commits
sion today ordered hay and grain
rates between points IN mountain-Pa-
cific territory at not moro than 12.b
per rent above the rates In effect be-
fore the 1890 Increase. Between points
in the western group as defined in its
decision where 40 per cent increases
were allowed in 1920 tho commission
today ordered them mnde effective as
20 per cent: between other western
group points tho commission held
rates shall not exceed IFS per cent
above the old schedules and between
points In the mountain Pacific group
and points in the western group the In
crease above the old 1920 schedule
shall be held to 16 pa per cent. The
effect of the order thus is to make spe-
cific the percentages of reduction in
the territory concluded. The commits.
sion also reiterated Its decision regard
ing the roads to fix rates for coarse
grain such ms corn at 10 per cent less
than the rates on wheat Tho western
group mentioned in the order includes
territory between The Mississippi and
Illinois rivers and the north and south
boundsfy line "a -vhich- st..es Of
North Sskot.. Montana. South Da

MINE SERVICE BUREAU FILLS
 NEEDED WANT

The mines service bureau has been formed to fill long-felt want in the mining industry. The experience of it's sponsors in mining engineering has shown that the average mine owner does not possess the expert ence to enable him to place his pro- position before the capitalists in the proper form. Maps are usually lack ing, or at best they are poorly made and do not convey the impression they should. The other facts pre- sented by the seller, such as reports development and production records, and smelter returns are not sys- tematically arranged, nor is a digest made summarizing the essential facts to be deduced from such records.
 The purpose of the bureau, know ing from experience the essential re- quirements of both the sellers and buyers of mines. is to correlate and arrange the data submitted by it's patrons, and to furnish a brief di- gest of the same. Maps, reports, and statistics are compiled in logi- cal order The resulting statement is concise, systematic and convincing and the facts will be presented in such form that the property will re- ceive the attention it deserves from legitimate capitalists who are search ing for meritorious prospects.
 The bureau is not designed as a sales represe entative, but aims simply to furnish the seller with a proper ly arranged digest of facts concern ing his property with which he may approach capitalists. It cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information summarized, nor will it in any way violate the ethics of the mining en- gineering profession. Charges for the service are moderate and within the means of every owner. The of- flee is at 42 Broadway, Room 53S, New York City.
