can them however that the business they are en-
gagged In is too serious to endure such treatment mucn
longer.
The facts that New-York was being cheated by
the railways, under their thin guise of apporton-
ment and pooling arrangements; that rates were
not what they seemed to be, and that business was
being obtained by taking traffic at rates which PAID
no proft-all for the purpose of making show OF
large gross receipts before the opening of inland
navigaton--werc first announced in The TRIBUNE,
and for weeks were persistently denied by officials
who now pretend that they did not know what their
agents doing. Yet. after numerous meetings, the
last of which yesterday adjourned at Chicago these
agents continue TO run the roads about as they
please. Perhaps it would be well for the stock
holders to make change in the management OF
their roads, by making the PR sent agents presl-
dents. Or at least general superintendent.
After the moderate fluctuations of the week, the
railway shares generally close at decline ranging
from Il to Il per cent. The coal sh ares are all
shade lower, excepting Cen trail OF New-Jersey,
which is II higher than on asst Friday. The ex-
press stocks have been in demand at advancing
prices, which may indicate an increase Ill the small

because of the absolute dearh of business or specu-

exchange rates steady. The United States

An unusually interesting market was reported in
London during the week, and British consol3 were
much disturbed by the official news of Eastern
affairs, and the various changes can be thus ac-
counted for. The feversbness. weakness, and IT.
