RAIL LINES TO MEET
CANAL COMPETITION
New Tariffs to Be Filed Next
Week-Delay Inevitable in
Westbound Plans.

Within the next week the steam car
merce Commission lower transcontinen-
tai tariffs on eastbound shipments of
dried fruits. canned goods, peas. rice,
beans and other commodities adjusted
to meet water competition through the
Panama Canal. The step will be taken
as a result of conferences between a
committee representing the Eastern
trunk lines headed by G. II. Ingalls,,
vice-president in charge of traffic of the
New York Central and a committee OF
the transcontinental carriers headed by
Lewis J. Spence. director of traffic,
Southern Pacific Lines.
Traffic experts will meet in Chicago
on Tuesday to check the new tariffs.
following which a prompt move will be
made to file them in Washington. These
schedules will become effective thirty
days after filing without other formality.
The Eastern roads also agreed to join
the transcontinental lines in applying TO
the commission for release from section
4 of the Interstate Commerce act, which
contains the long and short haul clauses,
in order to effect downward read1ust-
mcnts of the coast 10 coast ran rates
on westbound shipments of twenty-three
different iron and steel products build
ing paper, wall paper wrapping paper.
canned goods, soda. floor coverings nho-
leum, paints, rope and twine.
The necessity of public hearings ana
of formal action by the commission on
the readjustment of the Westpound
tariffs precludes any possibility that
they will become effective much pefore
September or October.
The Eastern railroads further agreed
to reduce their charges for the trans
portation of import and export freight,
as did lines west of Chicago and the
Mississippi River.
The Southern Pacific Company ex-
poets the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to act soon on the application
made recently to reduce the combina-
ton rail and water rates on eastbound
shipments of dried fruit, rice, beans,
asphalt and other commodities moving
by rail to Galveston and Gulf ports
and thence by sea to Atlantic coast
ports in Southern Pacific ships.

CROP AND HARVEST
ILLS BOOST WHEAT
Report of 100000 Bushel
Purchase by Germany and
100000 by Japan Help.

CHICAGO, June 23.-Crop deteriorating
Northwest and harvest delay Southwest
had bullish influence on wheat to-day.
Prices closed strong, lie. to e1ac. net
higher. with July s1.30% to $1.S1. and
September s1.23% to s1.24. Corn lost
sc. to &c. and oats sc. to $50. Pro-
Attention of wheat traders was di-
rected chiefly to the effects of drought
and excessive heat in the spring crop
belt and to unwelcome rain in the region
where the harvest of the winter crop is
In progress. AS a result, the July-Sep-
tember difference in price showed ten
dency to widen at times owing to COM
mission house buying of July and sell
ing of September. The general upward
tendency meanwhile was encouraged
somewhat by gossip that Germany had
taken 100000 bushels of wheat in the
last few days on three months credit
through English and Dutch banks. 1t
was said also that Japan had purchased
100000 bushels Of wheat on the Pacific
coast. With pit shorts covering at the
last prices closed at the days highest
point.
Evidence that stocks of corn were
piling up md falling to find an adequate
outlet resulted in considerable selling
pressure on corn and oats
Indications OF some export demand
rallied the provision market from de-
clines due to lower quotations on hogs

BANK OF ENGLAND CUTS
DISCOUNT RATE TO s p. C..
Surprise to Britons Is Partly
Due to Action in u. S.

LONDON. June 23-The Bank of Eng
land sprang a surprise upon the money
market to-day by retsucing its rate of
discount one-half of l per cent TO per
cent
IT had been thought that the Bank of
England would abstain from any reduc
ton pending the settlement of the labor
troubles, and it Is believed the chief rea-
son for the decision was the necessity
that the Treasury be able to borrow
money more cheaply. The Government
has been able to place Treasury bills
recently at just over per cent. in con-
sequence of cheaper money conditions,
and with another half per cent. off the
bank rate 1t is considered probable the
Government will be able to place them
still lower.
The recent reduction of the Federal
Reserve Bank rate i'm the United States
and cheaper money conditions in Amer
lea were also guiding influences to the
lower minimum rate.
The effect of the reduction was i'm
mediately seen In the stock market,
where fair sized orders were placed in
the git-edged section for war loans,
Indian stocks. Argentine As and other
bonds. The market also hardened in
other sections.

SUPREME COUNCIL AGREES
 ON GERMAN PREPARATION

PARIS, Jan. 29-The report of the special committee appointed to arrange the details of German re- parations, has been approved by the Allied supreme council, after long deliberation. The decision stipulates that the Germans must pay twenty six billion marks, in forty annual instalments. The instalments are to increase slightly as they become due.
 German customs are to be seized by the Allies in the event of failure of the Germans to conform to the requirements of the decision.
 The council had considerable diff culty reaching an agreement on the question of reparation and, for a time, it was feared the session would terminate without reaching an agreement. Several interruptions oc- cured and yesterday it was con- sidered doubtful if another session would be called.
