WHEAT SHIPMENTS VIA PORTLAND Bot,
not only is the Saratoga agreement violated in
regard to free passes, but also in regard to the
abolition of the payment of commissioners for
the sale of tickets. There are but few roads in
this city that are not paying commissions in
one way or other. The agreement in regard to
the maintenance of freight rates is!uo better OBJ
served than the other terms. Rebates and
draw backs are again allowed to shippers the
same as formerly, and there is more competi-
ton between the roads belonging to the COM
Baltimore & Ohio. A certain road belonging
to the combination only few days ago made
an agreement with prominent shipper in this
city to take to Glasgow, via Portland, cargo
of wheat at sixty cents, gold, per 100 pounds.
This leaves but thirty six cents, gold from
Chicago to Portland, while the current rate to
that city is forty five cents. 1t is the general
opinion that this combination is complete
failure and though the commissioners still hold
their Office, they are entirely ignored.
