THE UNABATED CONTEST OF RIVAL TRUNK
LINES.

The conflict between the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Pennsylvania Railroads is still kept up with
great vigor, tho former having heavily reduced the
rates freight to Pittsburgh. The charges OF the
Pennsylvania road from this city to Pittsburgh have
and still co cents per 100 pounds for rstolass
freight while the Baltimore and Ohio road now takes
the class Of goods for 40 cents per leo pounds On
second and third class freight the Pennsylvania line
charges 30 cents and 40 cents respectively, while the
rival road has reduced the rates IS cents and 80 cents
The Pennsylvania road has reduced through from
philadelphia to Pittsburgh, but account Of the spec
hcations OF the Saratoga compact the Company has
made no change from this city.
Il stated yesterday at one Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad offices that the reduction by the three trunk
hines special rates for sugar and coffee merely
legalizng what had been done in underhand way for
past and the greatest trouble for freight
Of the trunk lines had been find out what the
agents of the other lines really doing He did
believe that any OF the freight agents acting
up TO the tariff now, but that all were more less
cuttiDg under" IN order to prevent the Baltimore and
ONO road from securing the business. Shippers would
not enter into contracts for more than few days
under the Impression that rates would come down. and
he that rates for all classes OF freight would
decline before they would rise He had hoped that when
tariff had been fixed that business would have
gone steadily, but aterly the carrying trade had
become completely cut that not single road was
making penny on any through traffic.
