Chamber Backs New * Coast Grain Rates A télegraphic request has been Interstate commerce |commission by the transportation department of the Chamber of Com- merce, asking that the new rate on corn and other coarse grain from Minneapolis and other mid-Western points, filed to become effective on June 1, be not suspended, The rates would mark a reduction from 64 to 59 cents per hundredweight. Certain interests in Minneapolis which desired to prevent a free movement of grain to the Coast are sald to have requested the suspen: sion, according to the chamber, Grain and milling Interests. In this territory, however, are very anx- fous to have the new rates go into effect. Local dealers have contract: ed for grain to be shipped on a ba- sis of them, and if they should be suspended, the dealers would suffer considerable financial loss.
