THE FIGHTING STEAMSHIP COMPANIES,

meeting OF the agents OF the North Atlantic
Steamship Conference will be held this morning at
the once OF Mr. Sandford, the agent OF the confer
ence In this city, No. 20 Broadway, when the vari-
Gus steamship companies represen nted-viz., WI
lams Guien, National Inman, White Star, Gu
nard, Anchor and State-will agree to disagree and
commence competition once more, Next Monday
SIS steerage rates to Liverpool will prevail In all
probability, again. The recently patched up peace
OF the conference will thus come TO termination.
The present fight and cause Of the new disruption
OF the conference Is on account Of Boston rates,
between the Cunard and National ines The
suit, IL is thought, OF the new fight Will be that
some OF the new and weak lines VIII have TO 90 to
the wall Hardly single steamer hitherto belong
ing to the conference Is paying expenses. The
average expense Of round trip from
Liverpool TO New York and back Is $4,000,
and the steamer hardly makes on an
average $4,000, Great efforts have been lately
made to get the American line into the conference,
but unavatlingly. Tue whole affair Is in a most
complicated condition. and nobody is able to
prophesy with certainty what will be the result Of
the present imbrogiio. The immediate result
however. will undoubtedly be that fewer steam
ers will leave this port than have hitherto done,
and that freghts will go down to q very low rate.
