THE RAILROAD WAR OVER.

On Saturday the ticket agents received dis
patches at their respective Offices, to the effect
| tnat the Now York Central, Eric and fennsyl-
rania Railroad negotiations had terminated in
general agreement on tickets and fare. Conse-
quently on Saturday afternoon The prices Of
tickets to the east was raised to the following
figures: To Boston, SEC; New York, $ss !;
Philadelphia, SCI Baltimore, $50; Pittsburgh,
5l4.
The spectators who possess lots Of tickets
bought at about half the abore rates, will yield
ricl harvest, without waiting or lozlng much
time for 4 return on their Investments There
can be no doubt that many low-priccd tickets
are held by spectators, and since Our reference
to the schemes Of the sharpcrs, we Learn that
they have been remarkably active md adroit,
and added many tickets to their stock Not
withstanding the precautions Of the Ticket
Agents. olic man had the same old trunk
checked fourteen times for New York, md
bought as many Of the cheap tickets. There
can be no question that the competition hns
been financially disastrous.
We hear OF no arragf ments about frelghts,
with'the exception Of s85 per car load for cattle
from Buffalo or Suspension Bridge to New York,
and SIS for same to Albany. -.
