TIoN-HEPORT on TREIGHTs.
At the monthly meeting OF the directors OF
the Cheap Tran porauon Association held yesterday at
NollO PeArst the Committee OH Railroad Transports
tou reported that the Of the trunk lines lead
ns from this cty have at las; taken ;he position that
rates 10 NsYorz from the West shall be low those
e. any other seajJald city This is concession which
the Cheap Transportation Association has long m3lu-
tanned should zoe adopted the that the cost Of
transportation decreases very rapidly in proportion 10
the amount done; and if there were no
west-bound traffic. the immense mass of miscellaneous
productions OF tie West which shipped to this market
would entit!e even lower rate than cities from
100 TO 200 mil nearer the producing centers The
most iorciJle reason why New-York is ent'-
TED % a lower rate than other seabOaId cities
is that she furnishes a much larger percent
age OF Wcstbouad freight than any other city.
Te action of the trunk lines has had an immediate and
positive eject Of Tie gratifying character, and if
continued cannot fail permanently to benefit The com
