Thp commission TT&s also suspended advances on packing house products, fertilizer, hides, broom corn and grpln products. The advance on vegetables and fruit are from Texas points, those on rice from Louisiana and Texas. No sub stantial advance was granted'in mid western territory except on coal. In this section, the advance on hay and straw is only two per cent of the total at issue in the case. No parties opposed. "The decision Indicates, says Thome, "that the commission pro poses to demand more than a mere declaration of a railroad to Justify a proposed ratS. The difficult science of cost accounting has not received narked recognition by both the su preme court and the interstate com merce commission/ "A plaintive tone runs through the comments of some railroad officials' calling for sympathy because the poor railroads did not get this mon ey. This is all too bad. But there is no use of wasting much sympathy or of becoming alarmed that the rail wads will not have enough money to take care of their properties. During the trial of the case, the chief coun sel for the railroads admitted that they were able under the present rates to maintain their properties as I£they should be maintained."

[Copyright 1915 by the New York Evening Post.] NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—Wall street was a good deal taken aback by the announcement of the interstate com merce commission's decision in the anthracite rate case. The news came out after the close of the market yes terday so that selling orders were ready" for execution at the opening of the market today. These forced prices down from 1 to points in the stocks immediately affected. The industrial shares, as well as the railroad stocks, declined sharply during the first half hour. Then there was a good rally, so that by noon the losses had been largely made up. Heaviest selling was In Erie, Read ing and Lehigh Valley, the latter stock breaking points soon after the opening, rallying later. The en tire market was unsettled, however, and there was heavy profit taking in the more speculative of the war stocks. The violent break of sterling- ex change was a factor, causing some uneasiness as to just how payment would be made for some of the war material that was ready for delivery. A good deal of attention was paid to reports from Chicago regarding the cancellation of contracts for the exportation of wheat.
