New YORK STEAMSHIP Line Mr.. VIM.
G. Metzerott, one of the directors Of this line
held conference yesterday afternoon with the
flour merchants of Georgetown in reference tC
proposed increase of ten cts. per barrel o
-four in freight b. tween this port and New ork.
The increase, he said, was thought iustiablc
in consequence OF the insufficiency of freight on
return trips from New York, although the
steamers going out are ireighted down. After
an interchange of views, 4 proposition was
made and accer ted by Mr.. Metzorott for submis,
sion to the rest of the directors, compromising
the matter by reducing the increase to five cts.
