Nashville American, 25th
"A meeting Of the merchants, railroad and
steamboat agents and the tobacco men was held
at the Tobacco Board of Trade Rooms Yesterday
morning. The object was to arrive at some bet
ter understanding in regard to the rates of
freight charged on tobacco by the railroads and
steamboats,. The Laura L. Davis and the Peo-
pies Line have been at variance for some
months, the spirit Of competition prevailing to
such an extent to cause the rival boats to carry
passengers to the head of the river free, and
freight at five cents per 100 pounds. Tobacco
brought from the Upper Cumberland by the
Laura L. Davis was turned over to the Chatta-
nooga Road, the Peoples Line doing likewise for
the Louisville Road.
"This, of course, was proving very injurious
to the trade OF Nashville, and consequently re-
lief was sought by those Immediately interested.
It was decided and agreed that both the Davis
$4,000 each to carry tobacco at one figure, and not
to cut rates as they had been doing. Each
line was allowed to turn over down-river freight
to their boats which piled between New Orleans
and Nashville. The Chattanooga Road was to
receive half the tobacco brought down, the other
half being given to the Louisville Road.
"John w. Terass. w. s. Bowling and 81. 81.
Poston we're appointed to fix the rates to be
charged for freight, and the following were
agreed upon:
S'On tobacco, from above Sand Shosls, So so

the Shoals to New Orleans Including drayage),
So Is; from below the Shoals, So; from Nashville
to New Orleans, S. per hdd.
