TALK OF REDUCTION IN RITES ItMtiic of TramotitiieiUl Biriat Ctllid. Freight WILLING TO CUT THE THROUGH TARIFF Several nontl. Favor I.en.enlusr of Chnrtfe. Provided Joint Action of All Unci Can lie Secured. ST. PAUL, Jan. 18. Tho Tranacontfnontal Freight bureau has Issued a call to tho seventeen lines it Includes, for a session la Portland, February 18, at which moro than 1,000 questions will bo taken ud. There Is a strong probability that trans continental rates as a whole will be dis cussed, and n possibility that tho bureau may decide upon Important reductions. The Northern Pacific, Great Northern. Burlington, Santa Fe, Union Pacific and other lines In tho west will bo repre sented. Suggestions havo been mado from time to time Indicating that some of tho In teroatcd lines would be willing to reduce through rates should It bo posstblo to so cure joint action. The attitude of the Northern Pacific and Oreat Northern Is said to bo unfavorable. A representative of ono of thceo lines said of the probable action of tho bureau: "There will without doubt bo action of Importance to this territory. I do not know positively that tbo question of lower ing through rates will enmo up. Although there are indications of a tendency toward reductions, there aro so many Interested lines that It Is always difficult to secure united action. "I havo Just addressed a lotter to the bureau asking for Information. The call for the sessions shows hundreds of sub Jects, each of them Important, but gives nothing more than a mention of each. "Ono of the tasks before tho bureau will be to check up transcontinental rates, ro vising them to Include changes made since the last session, I don't think the lower Ing of a merchandise rato In Minnesota and North Dakota will have the least effect on throusb tariffs." CHANGES IN FREIGHT RATES We.tern Claaalflontlan Committee Doe. Work Affectlnir Oinnhn Shipper. At different freight headquarters in Omaha news has been received of changes made In freight rating by the Western classification committee at Now Orleans which are of the utmost Immediate Interest to Omaha Jobbers, shippers and merchants On tho first day of tbo session alterations were mado in the classification of more than a score of articles and commodities, most of which are manufactured extensively In Omaha and all of which have heavy ship menu out of here. As this association In cludes every lino west of Chicago and St. Louis, some seventy-two in all, the Impor tance of theso changes to Omaha Jobbing Interest, can hardly be overestimated. Tho date upon which they will go Into effect has not been named, but It will bo very soon, and announcement will bo made by circular. Two big changes In minimum shipment weights head the list. That on agricultural Implements Is raised from 20,000 pounds to 22,000, that being tho smallest quantity on which a car rate is offered. In oils Is an other upheaval. All are bunched at a mini mum of 26,000 pounds. Formerly different oils were differently rated, all previous fig urcs, however, having been lower than tho ono now set. Oleomargarine has been lowored from the second class to tho third. This will make Its shipment about two cents cheaper on tho hundred pounds for every 100 miles. Tho following articles are advanced from tho fourth to tho third class: Dottle cases, butter Jars, butter tubs, cans, carboys, chccBo boxes, garden seed boxes, milk cans, mineral water cans, oystor pails, coops, cracker boxes, crates, egg cases and fruit baskets. Thcso will all cost about 2 cents moro now per 100 pounds per 100 miles. Rating on several commodities previously In force was absolutely eliminated. Here after no ratcB will bo quoted on crockery In either tlercos or hogsheads, on dry goods In other than boxes, on bagging In less than carloads. No such shipments will now bo allowed. Other changes wero the advancing of roed and rattan furnlturo from third to second class, of leather In boxes from socond to first class and tho reduction of roofing paper from third to fourth class and of wall cases from double first to first class.
