PITTSBURGH, Pa, January s.
In replying to the allegation of steel

steel and iron products were discrini-
mated against in fixing freight rates.
o. S. Lewis of Baltimore, Md, freight
traffic manager Of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, at the hearing. being
conducted here by Examiner William
A. -Disque, for the Interstate Com
merce Commission, cited the compar-
atively cheap rates on iron orc, coal
and limestone as tho reason for the
high rates under protest. He pointed
out that the raw materials used in
the manufacture OF iron and steel are
being hauled at special commodity
rates and he asserted that 1t was not
moro than fair that an industry hav-
ing the advantage Of cheap rates on
raw materials should shoulder large
percentage of the burden Of keeping
the railroads prosperous.
Lower freight rates on steel and
iron products would result in lower
prices Of these comm modities to the
consumer, +. A. Ogden, traffic mana
ger of the Jones and Laughlin Steel

CHICAGO, January 5.-An after
holiday tendency on the part of the
housewife to economi1e was consid-
cred responsible for the falling off
In butter consumption during the
week. Buyers found their require
ments for fresh butter just about
equal to the available supplies, and at
Boston and Chicago competition for
the limited supplies Of fancy butter
forced slight advances.
Lighter production was due to the
effect of the holidays rather than any
actual break in normal increase in
the milk flow. Withdrawals from
storage of nearly half million
pounds in excess of the corresponding
week of last year were taken to indi-
cate a healthy storage situation.
Consumption during 1928 was con-
eiderably above 1922, according to
reports. Receipts at the four princi-
pal markets were approximately 49,
100000 pounds larger than for the
previous year. Imports at New York
were about 100000 heavier. Trad
ing stocks and cold storage holdings
were about the Same for both years.
