Freight Rate Reduction Boosts Mt. Sterling Commerce
The C and C Railway cuts Louisville to Mt Sterling freight rates by about 40 percent effective October 12 interstate and September 12 intrastate. The move matches Carlisle Ky rates, aiding merchants to compete and may open Bath county shipments through Mt Sterling. Example reductions include horses from 96.60 to 36.50 and stock cattle from 44.00 to 35.00. Similar cuts planned from Cincinnati. The Chamber of Commerce praises the change as beneficial to the community.
