Wheat Growers Request
Lower Freight Rates
BY the Associated Press.

STERLING, Colo, Feb. 23.-
Wheat growers of Northeastern Col
orado and Southwestern Nebraska
are attempting to lower the freight
rates on grain shipped to Missouri
River markets and to have the rates
based upon actual mileage of the
haul.
The move was initiated by the Ne
braska- Colorado Grain Producers
Association, which wants to break
down a common-point rate struc-
ture for territory extending as far
West as Cheyenne. Wyo., and to
Trinidad in Southern Colorado.
A hearing on the association s
complaint will be opened at Ster-
ling week from today by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
Charles w. Kreager, jr, OF Ster-
ling, attorney for the association,
said the I. C. c. has allowed a re-
duction of rates on corn into the
territory represented by the Grain
Producers Association.
While the Union Pacific and the
Burlington Railroads are designated
as defendants in the formal COM
plant, Kreager said he believes
they will not oppose the rate reduc-
tions asked. Success Of the growers
action would serve to return to the
railroads the movement of millions
of bushels of wheat now hauled by
itinerant truckers.

Consolidated Edison
Holders 10 Decide
On Bond Bids
Question Of Competitive
Action Placed Before
Shore Owners
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Consoli-
dated Edison Co. of New York, Inc,
worlds largest seller of electric
power, has asked its stockholders to
decide the moot issue of whether
new finance money shall be raised
by competitive bidding, or by the
traditional Wall Street investment
house method of private bidding.
Financial sources here said they
believed this was the first instance
of company of Consolidated size
asking its owners opinion.
The whole subject of competitive
bidding has been recent topic of
debate, not always friendly, by the
temporary National Economic Com
mittee, the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and by some officers
and groups in other fields, notably.
by some Cleveland and Chicago
bankers and some railroad invest
ment groups.
Consolidated's chairman, Floyd L.
Carlisle, inclosed with the COM
pany's annual report to stock
holders, mailed yesterday, a ballot
asking their opinion on competitive
bidding.
The company reported 1899 net
income of 36,428,119, or $2.22 a
common share. This was "A per
cent higher than the 1888 total of
$34.S93,6l9, or s209 a share.
The competitive bidding ballot ex-
planned to stockholders that the
company's board of trustees wished
to know its stockholders views "as
to the method of marketing it's is
sues of securities for new capital
and for refunding purposes" The
ballot, it was explained, grew out of
stockholder's request for informa-
ton and current discussion as to
what is the most advantageous
method of selling securities-to in
vestment bankers for marketing to
the public, to underwriters or others
chosen through competitive bidding,
or to institutions or investors direct
ly by private SALE
Up to now, the ballot explained,
the board decided the method on
each occasion according to its best
judgment of the market conditions
and other circumstances prevailing
at the time of issuance"

Decline Is Expected
In Retail Trade
And Industry
Dun & Brudstreet, Ine.r
Finds Rote Of Drop
Diminishing
BY the Associated PrAss.

BY the Associated Prass.
NEW YORK, Feb. ga down.
ward trend in industry and retail
trade continued this week, although
at a diminishing pace, Dun & Brad
street, Inc, reported today.
Retail sales still, held above last
year, but by a narrower margin than
last week and snow and rain again
hindered uniform improvement in
volume. Spring buying was said to
be disappointing in view OF the early
Easter date.
Retailers orders to wholesalers,
still shaped closely to store turn
over, were confined largely to fll-in
needs practically on a day-to-day
basis.
Statistical measures continued to
confirm sagging trend in industry,
but showed in some instances a
leveling out of the decline. Steel
production, automobile output and
daily crude oil flow showed i'm
provement in trend compared with
the previous weeks indications.
On the other hand, stocks of fin
lshed and unfinished gasoline, elec-
trio power output and bituminous
coal production showed a less ad-
vantageous picture than last week.
Freight loadings were only 4.8 per
cent above the corresponding 1899
week.
A somewhat firmer trend devel-
oped in staple commodities and price
averages advanced moderately from
the low Of the previous week.
The weekly food price index rose
l cent to S2.34. or cents above the
1899 level. The daily wholesale
price index touched 1884 Wednes-
day, going from 1881, low for the
year to date; last years comparable
figure was 1854.

day a reduction in the Agriculture

6,725, 100 short tons Gas announced
December 29) to $780,, ,745 tons.
This decrease of 117,355 tons,
made under provisions of the Sugar
Act of 1887, necessitated a reduc-
ton in marketing quotas of various
producing areas.

tor in the reduction was delivery
of large supplies of sugar to the
American market late in December

suspended by President Roosevelt.
The data on such deliveries were
only recently compiled.
The revised and initial quotas,
respectively, included:
Domestic beet area, 1,549, 1893 and
1854 short tons; mainland cane
area, 420,167 and 422,823; Hawaii,
