ALL RATES ON GRAIN
ARE TO BE REVISED
Farmers Will Get Better Prices
as a Result, Says White
House Statement.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.--Strong hope
for better prices IN the agricultural.
markets IS justified by reductions in the
railroad rates on grain for export. al
ready in effect and proposed. according
10 statement issued at the White
House tonight.
Recent reductions in the export rate
on grain between Chicago and New York.
the statement said, will be followed By
sweeping revisions Of grain rates gener-
ally, including those from Mississippi
River points and on the lines to the
Gulf, in order that the entire agrcul-
tural interest may share fully in the
benefits.
In general" the statement continued.
advances in freight costs are passed on
70 the consumer by adding them TO the
selling price. But in grain, whose do
mestic price Is dominated by the foreign
price of the exported surplus, the pro-
ducer suffers when rates 60 up and
benefits when they 60 down. Therefore.
though the exports represent minor
share OF the total grain production, the
lowering OF export rates affects the en-
tire crop. These reductions Of rates,
together with the arrangements for
financial assistance TO the export trade
and the assurance that Europe Is going
10 need extraordinary quantities of
American foodstuffs. constitute altogeth-
er justification for strong hope that
the tendency in the agricultural markets

better prices"
Reductions OF transportation rates on

Of the most important measures the Ad-
mnistration has Initiated for the relief
of agriculture and OF general industrial
conditions" The reductions. Il was ex-
plained, were insisted upon by Secretary
Hoover as concession to the agrlcul-
tural interests, when, on behalf Of Prcsi-
dent Harding, he negotiated with tho
carriers the basis for settlement of their
claims against the Government growing
out OF Federal control.
This was made the basis or the adj
justment," the statement continued. "the

port grain rates while the Administra-
ton undertook 20 . rsss .hem by secur-

A fair volume Of merchandise pur-

says BrddstreePS. THE industries.

basic lines, like iron and steel and coal.
show a more hopeful feeling. based In
some cases on larger dealings. The
wearing apparel trades. wholesale and
jobbing, have increased slightly in ac-
tivity both at wholesale and in final job
bing lines, and there is slight accent
uation OF the more optimistic feeling
visible last week. In word, the adj
vance Of the season is bringing out n
certain amount of needed buying, which
has lifted business as a whole out of the
rut of depression and dulness of mid
summer"

ROADS AGREE TO CUT
EXPORT STEEL RATE
L. G. C. Will Be Asked for 25
Per Cent. Reduction as Re- ].
suit of Conference.

AS a result OF joint conference here
yesterday between representatives OF
Eastern shippers of iron and steel and
the traffic executives committee OF the
Trunk Line Association, an application
for permission to effect on September
25 per cent. reduction in the freight
rates on export shipments of iron ana
steel moving through Atlantic ports wiz
be filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission within few days.
The iron and steel shippers repre-"
sented that trade competition in foreign
fields, particularly England and Bel
gium, made reduction of transporta-
ton costs imperative. Although point
ing out that lower rates would not affect
domestic business and expressing doubt
concerning the advisability of applying
a cut to the rates on export shipments
of these commodities, the railroad
traffic executives agreed to the reduc-
ition on the chance that some stimulation
,of the export movement might result.
Western shippers of iron and steel
products have arrived at a correspond
ing agreement with the railroads
represented in the Western Freight
Association. The schedules of the two
sections will be checked up in the usual
manner before the application is for
warded to the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
To make the reductions at the earliest
possible date. it is believed that the
commission will authorize the cut on
September / by reducing to two weeks
the usual thirty days notice of the new
schedules.
IN
portation charges on export shipments
of grain moving from central points
to the Atlantic seaboard has already
been effected 1t is believed also that
negotiations pending between traffic
executives and shippers of oil looking TO
similar revision win be concluded at
an early date.

Estimate on Rail Income.

With no Improvement in traffic other
than the regular seasonal upturn, the
railroads of the country will show net
operating income for 1921 amounting
TO between $525. 900, 900 and $3.50, 900, 900,
according 10 the estimate of high
railroad authority. This would cover
$475,000.0 900 fixed charges with only
small margin to spare for application TO
dividend requirements, which in 1920
amounted to S27S.000.00o. The foregoing
estimate makes rough allowances for the
saving Of II per cent in wages in the
latter half of the year and for increased
expenditures for maintenance of way
and equipment. the, outgo for which has
been drastically curtailed in the last ten
months

Townsend Railroad Bill.

Although expressing some disappoint-
mcnt in the prospect that action on the
Townsend bill will be delayed by Con-
gress, railroad executives here yester-
day were hopeful that the bill would be
acted upon when Congress reconvenes
in September after the recess. and not
postponed until the opening Of the new
session In December. IL Is believed that
the bill. which empowers the War
Finance Corporation to act as agent for
the funding Of the s500,00o.o00 owed
for capital expenditures made In the
period OF Federal control, will succeed
In commanding the necessary support
for passage In both houses.

Employees and Holders.

The public Is prone to show more
solicitude for the employees Of rail-
ways than for the owners OF their Sc
curities, mainly because it assumes that
there are many more employees than
security holders" says an editorial in
the current issue of the Rail,ooy A1e.
1T seems probable that the number Of
owners of railway securities is not far
from twice as large as the number of
railway employees Statistics concern
ing those interested in the Northern
Pacific Railroad in 1920 show that it
had 35,240 employees in that year. who
received wages aggregating s66,503,794;
$4,000 stockholders. who received $17,-
100000 In dividends. and $1,000 bond
holders. who were paid $12.134. .43S in in

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
stock Market Has n Double Phase.

The stock market yesterday had two
major phases. neither of which was con-
elusive of public participation. The
bears had considerable success for a
time. carrying along the recession of in
dustrial shares, which had continued
steadily from Monday morning. They
found it easy enough to break Central
Leather down II points. General AS
phalt also succumbed to fresh short
sales, and an adventure into American
Writing Paper preferred brought paper
profit. Studebaker and several others
gave signs of ccrling up. But it looked
as though short covering was going on
under the smoke screen put out by the
itack upon these issues, and when buy
.rg spread into the rails the market
tr end turned about. The strength of
pr ices in the afternoon was more pro-
no unced than the weakness of particu-
lar stocks in the morning.

A decrease OF seventy-three in the
