Permit me brief reply 10 your edi-
torial of this morning under the above

that Mr.. Whitney told him 1t cost S49,.

the company, for the years 1871, 1872 and

city" ~, - ~ -, - -
It Is tfue the Baltimore & Ohio road
does the great bulk OF the business
between Wheeling and all points east and
west; and that this business may be done
at the least possible cost. Still we want a
competing road that will not be burdened
with transfer charges and q competition
established on an equally favorable basis.
II the O. & P. road can pay s cents per
100 lbs transfer freight, that being the
usual charge, and still maintain q profit
able competition, a road that would be
relieved from transfer charges could do
the work for that much less, or would
make that much more from the same com.
Ipensaton. In either case our citizens
would get the advantage Of less charge
on freight or larger dividend from hsir
road.
I forbsar to5lengthen this communIca-
ton, or ! might illustrate BY saying that
two houses might possibly furnish all the
goods, this city would want, but there Is
q strong probability that If there were
three or more houses, our. citizens would
get their goods at q less price.
