while under the structure prescribed
by the commission his situation
will be reversed and the rates will
graduate downward as the distance
decreases.
THE commission also adjusted
the rates w~estbound from points of
production so as to produce a nor
NAL movement of wool traffic by
way of the Panama canal. This re-
adjustment results in material re-
auctions on water shipments and
gives a rate structure which in
creases as the distance from the
Pacific coast increases. The effect
of this will tend to balance better
the volume of traffic between rail
and water carriers and extend to the
producer the option of shipping by
either form of transportation"

REDUCTIONS In SHIPPING
RATES BENEFIT WOOL men.

Sweeping benefits to woolgrowers
of the west will result from the re-
cent ruling of the interstate COM
merce commission adjusting wool
freight rates to eastern markets, ac-
cording to ar analysis of the COM
missions decision by C.. o. Bergan,
traffic manager of the Spokane Mer-
chants association. The new rates
become effective October %.
In addition to a reduction of
rates. the commissions order re-
quires railroads to provide for sort
ing and baling of wool in transit
at intermountain points.
THE commission in disposing of
other matters incidental to the
movement of wool, requires the car
riers to provide baling, sorting and
concentration privileges on traffic
moving either east or west Mr..
Bergan said. This should open
new opportunities for location of
baling and sorting plants at inter
mountain points,"
In the decision, Mr.. Bergan con-
tinued, the commission disposed of
q 1CAAP dlt
matter in a constructive way and
established a precedent in the CO.
ordination of rail and water trans
%portation. This, he said, is in ac-
cordance with Section 500 of the
Transportation Act of 1920, in
which congress declared its policy
Ito promote, encourage and develop
water transportation, service and
facilities in connection with COM
merce and foster and preserve in
full vigor both rail and water trans
portation."
For a number of years all-rail
wool rates to eastern markets have
been in violation of the long and
short haul law, commonly known as
the fourth section of the commerce
act, in that rates from the interior
points of production to Boston were
higher than rates from Pacific coast
terminals" Mr.. Bergan sail in his
analysis of the ruling.
I'm 1921, the commission denied
further relief asked by the rail-
roads and ordered them to adjust
their rates so as to remove all long
and short haul Determinations. The
carriers then proposed tariffs sub
s~tantially increasing the all-rail
rates from Pacific coast terminals
to h eastern markets. Protests
were made by wool shippers. The
commission suspended the proposed
rates and instituted a general in
vestigation of all wool rates from

For two and a half decades follow
Ing 1885 there were some very definite
changes for the better in cotton mar
keting. Local factors stlll did ii large
part of the business, but under d modl-
fed system, Local buyers established
themselves in every small town. Local
banks were organized, local COM
presses and warehouses were built.
The market had met the producer half
way. Next came country buying. The
planter could sell his crop at his own
gin platform. This was a change In
the method of marketing, hut the sys-
ten itself remained almost the same.
The one difference was that the grower
might be present at every stage of the
proceedings.
