lem Rslrcsd rss ed lsst week at Brs wssrs Jtetics
to copeult upon ne> lures for their mutual interest.
Among other things stats at the meeting we give the
following: "Sending milk TO Nev-York has grown Ia
twenty Yeas to be very laret and imeor'ant ensi-
pess, cOwriDg something more th.$n 1000 farms In
Westohtster Pntnsm and Dutchess Counties, aud
several hundred in Orange County" Toe follow
ipg statement shows the transportation OF milk 70
New York at the present time The number OF cans
(iO quarts each ssDt daily over the Harlem Railroad
to New-York market IL about 2,2OOi over the Erie,
9 900; Hudson River $50; Long Island, 25Oi New
York and New. Haven, 100; New-JerSey Central, 40.
This business on the Harlem Road grew to nearly
lie preeent gigantic size while they charged ~ cents Tor
a csn of 10 gallons. II advanced slightly under q
charge of 30 cents and has ceased advance at all un
der charge Of 10 cents the price for the lat 10 years
while the business on the Hudson River Road under
the tariff of 20 cents per can has this year increased
100 per cent The farmers along the Harlem Road are
charged much for sending their milk to New-YofE,
an average dsace Of SIS mies the farmers OF lndi
ana and Illinois pay for sending their wheat distance
of 900 miles aud twice much, pound for pound as
the farmers Of western Ne York for their -four, both
beng rolling freight aud both sent all the way BY rail-
and the Iisk in Transporting milk Is little more than
that on flour aud the actual cost Of transportation Is
not as great. The total value of milk consumed in
New-York Is estimated at 100000 a year. The
particular grievance of the producers which they wish
to remedy is the high rata of freight upon the Harlem
Railroad. They say they cannot contend against 70
cents difference in freight and that tho present
high tariff on the Harlem Road will break up the busi-
nefs, or very much iDure all who are now engaged in
Il is Kind of farming along the line Of that road.
MUSICIANS ERRAsr The Alleghanians, the vocal
troupe, have been travelling through Central America.
They gave four concerts large audiences at the Chu
cha Islands, and were to proceed thence to Truxilo
and other places.
