ON GRAIN AND HAY
Reduced Rates in Trans-AIissis-
sippi Territory Effective
December 27.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. - Reduced
in transmississippi territory. which the
carriers recently sought to have sus-
pended for six months, were sustained
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
to-day and Will so into effect on De-
cember 81.
The reductions average about 16h
per cent of the 1920 grain rates and
are decreased further by the commits
sion's order of to-day. which requires
that corn and other coarse grains be
carried for 10 per cent. less than wheat
and other breadstuR grains.
The commissions original order for
the reduction was issued on October
20 and was based on the petition of fif-
teen Western States and several agri-
cultural organizations.
Railroads opposing the reduction
asked for rehearing and voluntarily
Offered a reduction, general throughout
the United States except in New Eng
land territory. of 10 per cent. on all
agricultural products. which they said
should be considered substitute for
the grain reductions. The rehearing
was completed on Wednesday morning
and the commissions final decision was
announced to-day. Further suspension
of the rates, it was said. could be OBJ
tanned only by court order In the case
an appeal from the commissions action
should be taken by the railroads.
Renewed arguments against general
rate reductions by the Interstate Com
nerce Commission were made to-day
by spokesmen for railroads in three
districts of the United States. Argu-
ments were based the spokesmen ex-
planned, on statistical studies of earn
ings and the effect upon them of rates
and traffic fluctuations.
7. c. Powell. vice-president of the
Erie, was the witness for Eastern car
liers; w. c. Maxwell. vice-president of
The Wabash lines. spoke for the Central
Freight Association, including most
mid Western territory. and George w
Lamb, auditor for the Association of
Railway Executives. made the presen-
tation for the Southern district.

COTTON MARKET
CONTINUES TO GAIN
Closes With Advance of z to 80
Points From Thursdays
Final Bids.

Another Improvement occurred yester-
day in the cotton market, making the
fourth day OF moderate advances. 1t
developed a decidedly firm undertone
in the early part OF the afternoon and
rose 25 to 35 points from Thursdays
final bids. closing around its top to
30 points higher than it did on Thurs
day. Further uneasiness among shorts
developed soon after the opening and
their covering proved more than ample
to absorb offerings in the ring.
Since the release of the Government
bearish crop estimate, the market has
rallied about a cent a pound. There has
been no sharp advance. but rather
creeping, upward movement that reached
yesterday 1850. for January and 1S.0Sc.
for December. 1t was evident yester-
Gay that some change in speculative
sentiment had taken place, probably due
in part to a report to the effect that
the National Ginners Association placed
this seasons total ginnings prior to
December II at 100000 bales, which
would mean that only about 10000
were ginned In that period.
Bulls were helped by constructive
week end statistics. The mill take off
was about $4,000 bales greater than the
amount brought into sight, which was
27S.56S Spinners' takings of American
cotton for the week to end tonight
amounted to 100000 bales. in contrast to
366. 900 In the preceding week AMI 271,000
the corresponding 1870 week.
After opening points better to 2
points lower the market slipped off
few points under Thursday's close
and then started Its upward movement.
Trade interests, Liverpool and Wall
Street shorts bought. while the South
and local longs were among the orin-
cipal sellers. The market was helped
in the forenoon by continued better
ment Of securities and steadiness OF
the Liverpool market.
Business generally was extremely
quiet, bigger operators neglecting the
market The narrowness Of price fluc-
tuations may be seen from ,he fact
that the low Of May contracts was
17.2Oc. and the high 17.4sc., only 2S points
difference. All through the session there
was a decided tendency by professional
bulls and bears to tighten commitments.

Hen Came to Life

OF all the queer things that ever
came under our observation the
queerest was the coming back to life
of a hen which had been perfectly
dead for twelve hours or more. A
crate containing eight setting hens
at the F. d. WEIGH home at Elgin,
Iowa, was submerged by the flood
during the cloudburst last week.
Three of the drowned hens showed
signs Of life and were resusticated.
The other FIVE were left in the crate
and set aside until an opportune
moment to bury them. The next noon
F. ID. was passing the dead hens
and noticed that one of them was
opening its mouth. He examined her
closer and saw signs of life so warm
ed her up and finally brought her
back from hen heaven and the
strange part of it is-she still wants
to set.-Elgin Echo.

The Cherry Sisters Again

The world renowned Cherry Sis
tiers, who share honors with Quaker
Oats and Douglas starch in putting
Cedar Rapids on the map, last week
announced their intention of return
ing to the stage after two years
vacation, during which theatrical
agents and producers have bounded
them to resume their stage career.
Although they have not yet affixed
their names to contract, according
To a statement of Miss Effie Cherry,
issued from behind the counter OF
the sisters little west side bakery,
they are waiting only for a salary
offer which they consider worthy OF
their famed name and long expert
ence. Two years ago the Cherry
sisters left the stage on account OF
the flu epidemic and consequent clos
ing Of many theaters, temporarily
ending at the time a successful stage
career Of more than twenty years
They opened the bakery IN Third
avenue west at that time, and have
made a splendid success OF he busl-
ness, according 10 Miss Fife.
