Eventually the plant will employ

Not all the peas handled in the

No. 1928 were rewarded by a uni
form reduction of 10 per cent on
practically all classes of freight, eff
fective July l, 1922. We are en-
tremely gratified with the results.
We realize that the general public
does not understand freight rates,
but in order that any one may know
the result of this investigation, the
following comparison of advances
and reductions in freight rates in the
various groups are submitted, from
which it will be noted that Montana
has Jared admirably throughout the
entire transaction.

per cent of previous advance.
Inter-territorial group, advanced
33 1-3 per cent, reduced 40 per cent
of previous advance.
Western group, advanced 35 per
cent, reduced SO IL per cent of pre-
vious advance.
Eastern group. advanced 40 per
cent, reduced 35 per cent of previous
advance.
Montana Reduction. so Per Cent
The Mountain-Pacific group in
cludes Montana, and it will be seen
that the advance in rates effective
September 1. 1920. in that group,
was the lowest of any of the groups
comprising the entire country, while
the reduction of July /. 1922, was
the greater in the Montana section
than in any other district.
It should be understood that the
reduction in Montana, which really
amounts to 10 per cent of the rates
in effect prior to July /. 1922, applies
to all freight whether moving be-
tween points within the state or to
or from interstate destinations. The
saving thus accruing to the public can
only be Appropriated, but applying
this to the total freight revenues OF
all carriers operating in Montana for
the calendar year 1921, the people
have been relieved Of the payment
Of an annual sum for the transporta-
ton Of freight Of $5,46O,614.63,
which figures are based exclusively
on Montana earnings Of the railroads.

The raising of seed peas has be-
come an extensive in dustry in the
Bitter Root valley. The crop not
only flourishes there, but it has
proven to be profitable one. Be-
cause of irrigation the crop is never

before this was about the only coun-
try that produced peas in paying
quantities.

RALLY BRINGS
wheat PRICES
UP AFTER NOON
(By Consolidated Press.l

Chicago, June 2S-Wheat was
lower early but the undertone to
the market could not be called
heavy as there always was good
buying on the breaks and, it was
this buying which was largely re-
sponsible for the rally which fol-
lowed after mid-session. The SELL
ing was inspired at the start by the
beIIef that the market was over
bought and the rains in many sec
tons OF the spring wheat belt. The
strength in Minneapolis wheat at
tracted attention later and induced
buying followed by local short COW
ering. Later a report that the
weekly weather report on Kansas
was bullish showing damage all ov-
er the state induced a fresh wave
of buying. Outside mills showed
more interest in cash wheat fearing
a railroad strike on July l. Kan
sas City reported sales of $4,000
bushels off grade wheat to the
Gulf over night. Seaboard reports
cable bids not following the ad-
vance and some exporters claimed
that England was trying to cancel
some august purchases. Movement
of wheat is only of fair volume.
Corn was lower early and prices
rallied later but support was con-
stantly needed to prevent prices
from slipping back. Armour hous-
es bought and there was some buy
ing by cash houses presumably re-
moving hedges against sales of cash
corn. Selling was general, based
on beneficial rains over big part
of the corn belt Cash demand
was improved, sales of 100000
bushels being reported over night,
part to exporters. Receipts con-
tinue of heavy volume. Sales of
100000 bushels of corn were made
to go TO store.
Oats were inclined to hang back
although the market was benefited
by the rally in wheat. Trade was
mostly in the way of changing, but
there was some liquidation evidence
based on the better weather. Cash
demand was exceedingly slow.
Lower hog market caused a de-
cline in provision values. A little
recovery with grain was noted
later
Wheat closed Is to 1ac lower,
showing some reaction from the
high point. July 1875 @%; Sept.

New York, July 2s,-Some i'm
proTement occurred on the curb ex-
change as the result of short COW
erings and a moderate amount of
new buying. Price changes in the
main, however, were of little conse-
quence. Standard Oil of Indiana
and Mexican Seaboard were the
two stocks upon which interest
conferred Standard Oil of Indiana
was down a half point or more but
was a we'll supported stock and
rallied sharply in the afternoon
Mexican SeabOard issues also
strengthened after selling off ear
lier in the day.
Mutual Oil, Maryland of Mexico
and Simms Petroleum were steady
while Omar Oil. again had a sag
ging tendency. Southern States Oil
Corporations stock was traded in
for the first time and was one of
the features. 1t rose substantially
with large blocks turned over on
the way up. This company is con-
trollea by the head of the Middle
States Oil. 1t is capitalized at $780,
900, 900 of which 100000 is out
standing. 1t has 405 acres and SO
producing wells and a settled pro-
duction of 2,113 barrels a day.
Among the motors, REQ was rath-
er actively bought at an advance of
about a point. Durant on the other
hand was slightly easier. Dubilier
Radio came near rallying in its
high and International Carbon was
firm.
Phillip Morris was higher but
Retail Candy and Goldwyn Pictures
were mostly reactionary. Tobacco
Products new shares held steady.
In the mining group American
was favorably inf1u-
enced by statements that shipments
from the iron ore properties in Min
nesota are running ahead of last
year In bonds the features were

generally held their own In
number of instances, there were
slight recessions from figures
touched in the advance the two pre-
ceding days OF the week.
Fresh offerings included an issue

A few millions of state and munich

eign vessels are plying healthy
trade in foreign liquors. Snug
Cling on an extensive scale has
been going on ever since the fed
eral amendment went into effect
How can it be prevented? The task
is almost hopeless.
The federal government hasn't
enough agents TO search vessels or
their crews effectively. 1t takes a
long time to make a search OF a
modern merchant vessel and by the
tive agents would finish one part
of a ship it would be comparative
ly easy matter for crews to trans
fer their liquor to another part Of
the same vessel. If agents are sta
toned on the docks, the crew can
put out small boats and land at
other points alongshoTe. Nobody
pays much attention to the activi-
ties of a crew when the vessel is in
port. They can come and go free
~. In the case of American ships,
the captains might be penaliZed if
negligence in preventing smuggling
is pFoved-thiS might easily be
added to the laws but this would
not touch foreign shippers who
could hardly be punished for some
thing their crews did in their own
smuggling began.
The practical difficulties in the
way of enforcing prohibition are
numerous but few phases of the
question are as perplexing as the
smuggling of liquor by crews. The
shipping board has written its
managers and urged them to do all
they can to prevent smuggling Of
liquor, particularly while the ships
are in foreign ports. The shipping
board keeps a record of the liquor
bought for sale on board and seals
up the intoxicants when an Ameri-
can port is reached. Any SNUG
Cling that develops is usually in
liquors privately stored on the ship
by members of the crew.
An idea of the difficulties of
catching smuggler may be obtain
ed by the experience of the ship
ping board in stopping the traffic
in narcotics. Nobody in the gov
eminent, no matter what his views
may be on liquor questions, can be
suspected of a desire to let drugs
come into the United States, espe-
cially from the Orient Yet the
has had its hands full
in keeping drugs out of the United
States Only last week 200 pack
ages OF narcotics came into the
United States through a shipping
board vessel The packages had
been carefully concealed between
the electric switches and the chief
was arrested. There
are so many places aboard ships
which permit of easy concealment
Of contraband articles that the fed
eral government will have to in
crease its searching force consid-
srably to cope with the problem

New York, June 2S.-The dry
goods market showed a firmer tone
today and there was a fair amount
of business in evidence. The stand
ard construction print cloths were
well supported in spite of the de-
sire of some southern mills to clear
up their stocks by the end of the
half year. Some concessions at
second hands were reported. Sheet
ings showed little change the best
demand being for the heavier con-
structions. There was some ex-
port business in evidence. Trades
were made in drills and sateens at
current prices.
The tone of the oriental silk mar
kets was reported firm and better
tone was in evidence here with new
silk at a premium. Trading was
not of large volume. The market
for finished silks was more active

declines, the United States Bureau
of Markets weekly fruit and veg
etabIe review, issued today, indi-
Gated.
Heavy shipments of Watermelons,
the movement to date of 1861 cars
being nearly double the shipments
of the corresponding period last
year caused declines Of 800 to $500
car in eastern markets. Georgia
and Florida Tom Watsons of medi-
UNI sizes, % to 80 pound averages,
ranged from $500 to $500. In Chi
cago the market closed strong at
$3.50 to $500. Texas stock sold in
Kansas City at $3.50 to SO a hun

At Georgia shipping points the
price strengthened to closing
range of so cents to S2.25.
Catalogues likewise declined
with increasing supplies, California
salmon, tints, standard ASS, drop
ped to 80 to 81 per crate in eastern
cities and to 81 to $3.50 in the mid
dlewest, closing at a general range
of SO to 1915.
Peaches generally were lower in
price due to heavy shipments, the
increase from Georgia amounting
to 154 per cent Georgia Hileys, in
SKIES and bushel baskets declined
81 to $3.50 in most cities.
Potatoes shipments, however, de-
cleased, and the market strength
ened. Virginia was the heaviest
state and Irish Cobblers
from the eastern shore brought
$3.50 to $3.50 a barrel in leading
eastern cities. A loss of rs cents
