Rate wars ignite between railroads over canned corn shipments
A brewing rate struggle grips lines including Northern Pacific Union Pacific and O K R N as Portland and Spokane traders push lower prices. NP set 110 per hundred pounds for canned corn last autumn between Chicago Mississippi Missouri river points and Spokane. Union Pacific replied with 75 cents from Omaha to Portland. Portland market entrants threaten to undercut NP and Great Northern into Spokane territory prompting O K R N to consider further cuts to protect Lewiston and Spokane shipments. Lewiston consumes about three carloads annually with roughly 75 cars needed for the Inland Empire. Much product is packaged in small towns and moved by Omaha commission merchants.
