•Tulius Knitts.hniit, chairman of the
hoard of the Southern Pacific com
pany, went into great detail as to the
effect of freight rates on produce ship
ments, foreign and domestic. The
main points ho made in this part of
his testimony were;
First—That business depression is
net the resuit of high freight rates.
Second—That the real cause of stag
nation in produce shipments is lack
of market or profiteering.

A widespread propaganda Is being

•die fact is that even since the rates
have been advanced the cost of trans
porting commodities is far less than
the toll taken by the commission mer
chant and the retailer for buying and
selling them.
Public Pdicled as to Situation
People are misled and conclude that i
high rales have stopped the movement
of a large amount of freight and that
tlie railways would make more money
1/ they would reduce the rates and
thereby revive the traffic.
There is the strongest reason to be
lieve that the very great reduction In
traffic has been due almost entirely to
general business conditions that are
world-wide in their effect, and that
would have come if there laid been no
advnn p in freight rales.
Prices of commodities readied tlielr
maximum in the first half of ihe year
1020 und thereafter fell with great
rapidity in France, the United Stutes.
and the United Kingdom. The fall In
the United States began in May, and
was rapidly on its way downgrade in
September, when the advanced rates
took effect. Nevertheless traffic did
not drop for at least four months.
Slump Not Caused by Higher Bates
It was a general deflation and fill
tn prices from the heights to which
they liad been driven by war condi
tions that lias caused a stagnation of
business throughout tho world.
That it is uut caused by the cost of
transportation is convincingly shown
by the fact Hint stoppage <<f buying
has caused' an oversupply of ships,
hence ocean tonnage rates have been
recently at the lowest points in their
history.
Notwithstanding these low rales,
ocean traffic shows ns great stagna

of shipping here und abroad are rust

COTTON UNSHIPPED FOR LACK

Of a Texas cotton crop of over four
million bales. 40 per cent remains un
marketed. The average cost of rail
and water shipment from producing

about $1.23*2 per 100 pounds, in the
face of which about ono-hali trillion
bail'd of cotton b'ss than normal have
been exported to Liverpool. Obviously
• the freight rate is not responsible for
the restricted movement.
During September, October, and
November, 1U20, 45 per cent less rice.
60 per cent less canned salmon and
77 per cent less dried fruit were ex

of tho previous year, although the
reduction in ocean rates was sub
stantially more than the Increase in
inland rail rates, so that the material
decline in the exports of theac com
