The above rates may be made more favorable
upon joint meeting with the P. W. 4 B. r. r.
The r. W. B. r r. will furnish cars equal to
those In use by that road for carrying peaches in
baskets or crAtes.
1hs following proposition il made by the
North River X. Il "Will take the cars Of peach
es from 32nd street to the junction with the
New Haven II. r at $40 per car.
MI Townsend spoke 1t some length Of tho pro-
position TO get the peaches to Boston, and de-
clared 1t to be impossible to do 30 proftaby ia
the cattle cars offered He said 1t was entirely out
Of the question to make . transfer Of the cars
from Sand street around New York, by which the
lighters would have to 10 through the He'll gate
ton miles. But, he continued, the railroads be-
yond New York had not the cars to transport
the fruit, and the p. W. q d. Co. declined TO al
lQw their cars TO 90 10 far away from their own
road on account Of the delay in their return.

1900 per car on their arrival in Boston. But
peaches bring better prices in baskets than in
any other way, and unless they can be shipped
in unbroken bulk in baskets the speculstors in
New York, who arc opposed TO the peaches going
beyond that city, will break up the route within
. week. They viii compete with the growers
On their own trains, and the only advantage the
growers can obtain over them is in the sending
Of the fruit in better condition, which cannot BE-
done in the cattle cars, even il shelves are put
into them. To Pittsburg or Buffalo the peaches
can be sent at any time.
The report of the committee was accented on

to say. He wcsld not agree to send his carr
