Yesterday there continuance of the excitement
in railroad and mercantile circles in regard the
ttcs recently inaugurated by the trunk lines which
has resulted reducing the of freghts to the
West The Cheap Transportation Association il seems
has endeavored to represent the merchants OF New
York. and not only in its own meetings. but in confer
ence with the Chamber of Commerce, the speakers
have placed the chief odum of the high freight charges
upon the New York Central Railroad and its managers
This position most especially pronounced yester-
day. when the Erie Railroad seemed to put forward
effort TO rescue the merchants from high freight
charges and the first ostensby to reduce the tariff.
II was undoubtedly true that a meeting OF railroad
freight agents held at the Erie Offices Tuesday,
and that Messrs Blanchard and Ward, on the part of
the Eric Railway, met Messrs Rutter and Crawford,
Of the New York Central well Mr.. Goss-
Icr representing the Pennsylvania Railroad; but it
was that Erie had assumed the role OF public
benefactor, for it will appear negotiations had been
in progress between the Central and Grand Trunk
roads for me and the decision arrived at by tho
meeting foregone conclusion from the position
assumed by the latter road and its branches
The complaints II will be remembered have been
that New York railroads discriminating against
this city in freghts to Chicago, and that contracts
could be secured from Boston, via the Grand Trunk
road on better terms than by any New York line In
order 70 ascertain from headquarters what basis
these complaints rested HERALD reporter yesterday
