COMPLAIN OF FREIGHT RATES
Charges for Carrying Bituminous
., Coal Declared Unreasonable.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 11,-Rates on bi
tuminous coal on railroads operating
from points In Virginia, West Virginia,
Kentucky nnd Tennessee to points In Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida, were the basis of a
hearing before the Interstate Commerce
Commission today.
Attorneys representing cotton and Ium
her mills and laundry companies In the
States named declared that the rates In
effect on the several roads serving; this
section -were unreasonable and discrim
inatory, especially those frpm the New
Blver and Kanawha coal districts.
WAR RISK RATES DROP
Destruction of Emdea Brought
Charges Down One Per Cent. "
WJth tho official confirmation of the
destruction of the German cruiser Emderi
In the Bay of Bengal, war risk -rates. In
tho marlno Insurance field took a tumble.
The prevailing rate of 4 per cent, dropped
today to 3 per cent, on 'voyages to and
from the Far East via tho-Sues Canal.
Bomelunderwrlters feared to make tho re
duction, belltvlnff that some other Ger
man warship may prey on- commerce In
Far Eastern waters.
Importers of goat skins. Jute and burUp
breathed easier, when, tie news of the
loss of the Emden -was verified. They had
expected that this terror of the sea would
continue, as It had already done, to pre
vent the arrivals of vessels with- these
commodities. Jt la now expected that tho
steamships from Calcutta and Bombay
will be able to make uninterrupted
voyages with large quantities of the
products.

EVENING
RAILROAD INCOMES FALL OFF
WHILE EXPENSES INCREASE
Interstate Commerce Commission's
Report Covers Business for
September,
WASHINGTON, Nov. li.-Dcctarallons
made by Clifford Thorne, of the Iowa
State Board of Railroad Commissioners,
before the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, that the maintenance expense no
count of the railroads was tho "weather
cock" whereby profits and losses wero
Juggled, were reflected In a statement of
revenues nnd expenses on 171 railroads
doing n business of $1,000,000 ft year Is
sued by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today. , '
Tho report shows for tho month of
September' the' operating revenues
amounted to $233,401,118 nnd operating ex
penses $16,014,203. For the same month
In 1913 the revenues amounted $280,
12S.G2S. while the. expense accoti otnlcd
$190,823,755.
Tho statement shows the nllons
ndvanced by attorneys In tl islorn
rate caso, that while railroads i 1914
may- show a decline In operating reve
nue, there wns likewise a decline In ap
propriations made for the maintenance
fund. In good business years, they as
serted, tlio maintenance fund was en
larged to offsqt tho net' revenues.
The net revokes for tho month of Sep
tember last i were $30,3fi0,913 as against
tS9,f09."53 for the same month of 1913, The
ayeroge number of miles operated was
221,938.
DISMISS $14,000,000 SUIT
AGAINST FRISCO DIRECTORS
Action Brought by Receivers In Bt.
Louis lo Withdrawn.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. H.-Sults tiled by re
ceivers of. the St, Louis and San Fran
cisco Railroad to recover $14,000,000 from
directors nnd former directors of tho
road were dismissed In the Federal
tjourt. The dismissal Is part of tho plan
of tho receivers to disclaim liability of
the railroad on a $26,000,000 bond Issue of
the New Orleans, Texas and Mexico
Railroad.
Loomls Johnson, attorney for the re
ceivers, announced tho dismissal of tho
suit would not preclude the filing of n
similar suit, which might be rellled after
tho liability of tho Frisco on tho $26,
00000 bond Issue had been determined.
Afi the receivers desire to contest the
liability of the $26,000,003 bond Issue, they
fit to do this effectively they should dis
miss tho $14,000,000 restitution suit. The
receivers could not consistently allege
tho road was not liable for tho bonds If
they contended the officers of tho road
hat4 exceeded their authority In making
the purchaso of tho St. Louis, Browns
ville and Mexico road, which Included a
guarantee of tho bond Issue.
If tlio bond Ibsuo wero Illegal, there
whs nothing to restore to the Frisco on
tbaj part f the directors.
COTTON GROWERS ADVISED
TO RAISE FOODSTUFFS
Department of Agriculture Announces
Plan to Relievo Situation In South.
In a circular sent out to farmers nnd
'business men In the cotton States, tho
United Statc3 Department of Agriculture
urges cotton farmers to grow their own
food. Instead of attempting to obtain
through cotton the money required for
necessities. In Borne sections of tho
South, thousands of small farmers are
said, to bo facing actual hunger, this
winter through tho falling off of the
cotton demand.
Tho Department urges the farmer to
grow cotton nnd devote some of his at
tention to the raising of garden truck
and cattle, hogs and poultry. This would
prove a remedy for the overproduction of
cotton.
. Specialists In the department believe If
the real value of diversified farming bo
onco thoroughly understood the cotton
acreage will be reduced In a natural and
healthy manner. It is stated.
FIRST COTTON FOR GERMANY
Philadelphia Vessel Reported Ready
to Sail.
The first cargo of cotton to be shipped
to Germany under the agreement with
a rent Britain not to Interfere with such
shipments, most likely will be carried In
the PhlladtHphla-owned steamship Caro
lyn. It was rumored today that the ves
sel had been chartered to carry bales
from Savannah to Bremen.
Underwriters holding policies on the
hull of the Carolyn have consented to the
voyage at an advanced premium rate.
What the rate will bo Is yet to be deter
mined. Vital Interest Is attached to this
shipment, as It will mark the real attitude
of Great Britain In permitting cotton to
be shipped directly to Germany.
The Carolyn, which has been used
chiefly In the coastwise trade. Is of 1411
tons net register. She Is owned by the
Johnston Steqmshlp Company ot this
city.
She will probably be the first steamship
from this country to enter a German port
since war was declared. To enter Bremen
she. will have to navigate mahy mine
fjetds. f

Foreign Demand Caused a i
Sharp Rise in Leading
Cereals.
Although many articles of eonsump
II' continued to show a downward
tn. ucy Inst month, these declines wero
intue than offset by ndvnnees elsewhere,
so that commodity prices roie to $124,340
on November 1, against $123,531 on Oc
tobor 1 and $125,503 on November 1. 1913
On tho corresponding date of 1912 tho
total stood at JtM.SK. 1'nder ordinary
rticumst.iuccs a higher iuiibi of quota
tions Is to bo expected with the ap
proach of winter, nnd while tlio flurry
caused by tho l-Mropean war hits largely
subsided. Its effect Is still noticeable in
some directions.
Readjustment of conditions to a more
normal basis, however, linn occurred In
numerous lines nnd of seven separato
divisions, nil snve one disclose more or
les'j recession from the level attained on
September 1, whon tho compilation
touched the maximum point of the yoar.
In comparison with a month ago, In
creases appear only In two groups,
namely, breadstuITs nntl dairy nnd
garden products; but, as previously men
tioned, those more than counterbalanced
tlio declines In tho greater majority of
commodities.
Tho Insistent -foreign demand again
brought a further sharp rise In the lead
ing cereals, notnbly In wheat, which was
almoit 10c a bushel dearer than on Oc
tober 1. Higher prices for tho dairy
and gnrden section wero duo almost en

terests aro now In full sway, this condi
tion ulso taking hold of the cross streets
from 21st street to 24th street as far south
us Chestnut street and at 21th street also
extending to that thoroughfare
The question of tho different grades
on Market street, Chestnut street and
streets crossing them or adjacent thereto,
made no difference to an Industry turning
out machines able practically to go any
where. Tho felopcs up to the bridges did
not Interfere at nil.
Tho trade onco established at 23d and
Market street section was the signal for
a general move.
COMPANIES LOCATE.
On the northwest corner of 21st and
Market streets Is a largo building given
up to tho trade, lot 221.4 by 160 feet. a
sessed at 100,000. The John J. Short

GOOD FIEId rOR" ATJTO TRADE
A great many Instances could be given
to show the "great Improvement In the
situation on 'Market street between say
18th street a?d the Schuylkill River. The
most poteat -one, hortefer, Is the fact
that tho automobile. Industry hvt claimed
It, It was the d)ieovrer that prices wera
too low In "Broad street ndrth of Arch,
and Is still toJbefoiind there, but 31st and
Market streets and oiit to the river Is
today a better field. '
This part ot Market strpet. It Is safe to
say, will noi He speolally "benented from
the Improvements of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, soon to be made in
connection with the widening of the right
of wcy and tbe vacation of Filbert street
from lBth street to 20th, unless, perhaps,
from the taking up- for alt time of so
much propafty to tbe north. This, how
ever, will tlve the eot oa thoss look
ing for business leatlona In the district tc
watch for anything- tlwit may be otr4,
thus keaplag the MiaVt with s. daddtdly
advancing teadancy.
