CARLOAD RATES
New Commodity Schedules
Affect Grain Rates From
St. Louis
BY Associated Press,

Washington, November 19.-The in
terstate commerce commission fol-
lowed up its recent order cancelling
class rates In territory south of the
Ohio and west of the Mississippi
which railroads sought to put into
eeffct June rs by canceling today
carload commodity rates as we'll.
The alterations in the rates were
proposed by railroads to go into eff
feet June %, 1921, as their proposed
method OF meeting previous decisions
of the commission to the effect that
water competition in the Mississippi
valley was insufficient to justify low
err charges at certain river points
while interior points were charged
higher rates. The railroads at
tempted to meet the requirements by
increasing the lower rates to de-
gree which the commission has now
held unjustified, both as to classified
and commodity freight shipments.
In the decision today canceling the
new commodity schedules the commits
sion ruled that rates on grain and
grain products from ST. Louis to Menu
pills in new schedules should not be
increased above 125 per 100 pounds.
and from st. Louis to New Orleans
should not exceed 3l.5 cents.
This was the most important COM
modify rate fixed by today's decision.
The present rate from St Louis to
New Orleans is 23.5 cents and the
railroads in the cancelled rates sug-
gested 3S.5 cents. The commission
ruled that other rates concerned
should be made on approximately the
same basis as that fixed for grain
and new schedules filed by Novem-
Der 81.

Cotton Goods and Yarn
Markets All Softened
During Week Trading

New York, November l9.-Primary
cotton goods and yarn markets have
softened considerably during the past
week. Trading has been very light
in unfinished goods lines and moder-
ate in finished goods. Print cloths
have fallen off from u to u from the
prices current a week or two ago
Sheetings have eased more than IN
per cent on some constructions. Fine
yarn plain weaves are down hc a
yard. Some cotton yarns are now
down-12h per cent from the top fig
ures of the year. Unbranded bleached
cottons are easier and branded goods
are selling very slowly. Ginghams
hold their values very well and per-
Gales are being sold moderately for
advance delivery on the new price
basis established two weeks ago Ow-
ing to the instability of prices and
the narrowing of profit margins,
some of the mills are again talking
of being forced to curtail their out
put,
Trade is seasonably slow with the
torying period. Shipments on old or
ders' continue active and will go on
for some time as many mills are we'll
sold ahead. Buying appears to have
been affected by the desire OF many
customers to go out of this year
showing light commitments as well
as the clean stock sheets that are
now probable. Spring hosiery has
been opened at advances of per cen,
over last season, due to the higher
yarn prices.
Current prices in first hands are
as follows:
