Vanderbilt said that through oompeti-
ton he might be and had been compelled
to haul 40 car loads from Chicsgo at loss.
Buffalo being point from which there il
much transportation, and where there Ia
grea, competition, by canals and other
roads, the prices from there TO New York
are very nearly a. low as from Chicago.
He said that ii the legislature compelled
them to carry New York freight for their
proportion, or similar freight from Chica-

money on all their bnsiuess. 1t would
drive them out of competition
with rival roads. The reason for
making these rates is due TO competition.
They could not live on local business. He
had transported freight from Chicsgo to
New York within year at loss. The
road carried, while he was in Europe, one
thousand car loads OF cattle at one dollar
per car. 1t had carried flour for II cents
per hundred pounds and out of that IL
cents paid for lighterage. He thought
general law regulating transportation over
all the roads would be beneficial.

shipping from Toledo to New York was

to Syracuse he was charged $50. All cir
