Rates in Buffalo flour trade cut by Interstate Commission
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled several Buffalo flour milling cases, finding the 11 cent rate to New York and the 13 cent to New England excessive. It ordered no formal remedy yet, awaiting a possible proportionate rate adjustment for exlake grain. Similar actions affected Thornton & Chester Milling and Washburn Crosby cases, with dismissal of the Philadelphia Baltimore grain dispute. The commission pinned Buffalo’s disadvantage on geography and did not require differential treatment.
