adelphia to the Pacific coast for 2 

 cents now will cost 4 cents and a 

 5-ounce parcel that heretofore has cost 

 3 cents will cost 12 Cents. It isn't at 

 all what was wanted. 



On the other hand, a parcel oF five 

 pounds weight, formerly costing 40 

 cents postage for either local or dis- 

 tant delivery, now can be sent to a 

 local address for 7 cents, to the lim- 

 its of the second zone for 9 cents, lo 

 the third zone for 14 cents, or the 

 fourth zone for 23 cents. There's a 

 big gain there. 



The seed trade wanted the same 

 rates on seeds as went into effect 

 March 15 for catalogues, which are 

 1 cent for each two ounces up to eight 

 ounces, the pound zone rates to apply 

 above that. The trade had not antici- 

 pated such snap action as was taken. 

 There wfere a dozen bills before Con- 

 gress and the Postoffice Department 

 had endorsed one that gave seeds and 

 plants the same rates as catalogues. 

 The trade was taken by surprise when 

 it read in The Review for March 12 

 that both houses of Congress had cov- 

 ered the matter in an amendment to 

 the postoftice appropriation bill, with- 

 out giving a hearing to any parties 

 at interest, and that the matter al- 

 ready was up to the President for sig- 

 nature. The change in rates on cat- 

 alogues and on seeds and plants went 

 into effect the same day. 



It will now be up to the seed trade 

 to bring pressure to bear to get the 

 ounce rate reduced. It will be diffi- 

 cult. Seeds and plants now are in 

 the same class as other merchandise; 

 it will not be easy to get the weight 

 limit raised to eight ounces and the 

 irate cut to the old one of two ounces 

 for a cent unless the same considera- 

 tion is given other people in the mail- 

 order trade. 



WALLS FALL ON SEED STORE. 



The St. Louis Seed Co., which suf- 

 fered a heavy loss by fire March 10 as 

 the result of a conflagration in a big 

 clubhouse next door, sustained a further 

 and more serious damage from the 

 same source one week later, on the aft- 

 ernoon of March 17. 



The seed store had been reopened and 

 business was going on as usual while 

 repairs were being made. The seed 

 store building is four stories in height, 

 the wall of the burned structure 

 next door towering seven stories. 

 The wall fell without warning at 2:15 

 p. m., while scores of persons were in 

 the seed building. The customers 

 mostly were in the front of the build- 

 ing, which had not been injured by the 

 fire and which was not hit by the fall- 

 ing wall. Those in the rear portion, 

 which was crushed by the weight of 

 bricks, were seed store employees or 

 employees of the contractor who was 

 repairing the building. One body, that 

 of Wm. Davisson, an employee of the 

 seed company, was recovered and other 

 bodies were thought still to be in the 

 ruins, although John A. Rau, secretary, 

 stated in the evening that all the em-
