TIIE 3IORXING OKEOONIAN. FRIDAY. NOVE3IBER 17. inifi. CONSUMER WON T FEEL RATE RISE Transcontinental Advance Ex pected to Be Absorbed by Big Shippers. COMPROMISE IS REACHED frunl; T. Robinson, of O.-W. K. & Y. Company, Says lira of Prosper- Has Suffered o Diminu tion rseeause of Election. ity rd ad- the Advance." in transcontinental com modity rates, as proposed by the rail carriers, are not likely to affect the re tail prices, says Frank W. Robinson, traffic manager for the O.-W. R. & N. Company, who returned yesterday from Omaha and Chlcaffo. The advances apply only on the com paratively heavier articles of com merce, such as iron and steel, canned Roods, riry goods, carpets, oils, paints, and the like, that generally move in carload quantities. The rates are to be advanced 10 cents per cut on car load lote. and this fipure, it is believed, can be absorbed by the shippers. .M r. nooinson noes not vAt;. m.. shippers to protest. The new rates reallv are a compromise between no ad vance at all and a much heavier vance at. first contemplated by carriers. Ilearlncfi Arc fonceled. Tn view of the implied agreement be tween the railroads and the shippers, the Interstate Commerce Commission lias canceled tie hearings on this sub ject which were to have been held in Portland and other points in the West and Middle West. , The hearings on the reopening' of the original Spokane case will take place ns scheduled, however. Examiners for the commission will sit in Chicago, Salt 1-ake City, San Francisco, Portland and Spokane. The Portland hearing will take place on December 14. Mr. Robinson was in . Chicago less tiian a week, but reports that the rush of business for the railroads, manufac turers and mercantile institutions la continuing. The election did not dis turb them much, he says. The car shortage is .avinr its effects on all kinds of business, and on all the carriers, ho reports. It is getting to be a serious problem with the railroads. All the Dig car manufacturing' plants arc working night and day to fill or ders for the carriers, but they are not able to keep up with the demand. "But despite these adverse conditions the O.-W. R. & N. Company is gettinsr a steady supply of empty cars from the East," reports Mr. Robinson. Grain I-fTifB Heavy Toll. The roads are heavily taxed to sup ply cars for the abnormal wheat move ment this year, as the absence of ships on the Pacific forces the wheat to move across the continent by rail. As evidence of the unusual prosperity along the lines of the O.-W. R. & N. company. Mr. Robinson calls attention to .the fact that in the four months ended November 1 the company moved 1 2.000 more loaded cars from points on its line than in the same period a year ago. Of course this figure Includes wheat shipments going east, but last year the wheat moved west to Portland and to Puget Sound, virtually offset ting the quantity that went east till year. Mr. Robinson declares that these 12.000 cars practically represent a net increase in business in the months of July, August, September and October over the same months of 1915. included in this figure, too, is an aggregate of 1539 loaded fruit cars representing the increase of the fruit movement this year over last year. "All our reports show that the North west is prosperous tnis year, said Mr, Robinson, "and it is apparent that this condition will continue indefinitely, Business In our territory Is good.

Good Tthngs In The Market A FTEE the really touchy cold Cjl weather of the past week, it is certainly a delightful surprise to come on fresh, ripe, red strawberries from Los Angeles, Cal.
