EAST-BOUND FREIGHT MOVEMENT.
The east-bound freight business continues to
boom. All the lines have been taxed to their
utmost capacity during the past week, and
thousands Of tons had to be refused for want of
cars. Tho principal movement was In corn for
March loading at the seaboard. But little wheat
has as yet gone forward, but it is
not believed that tha spectators who have
been holding these articles all winter In
anticipation Of higher prices will be able to hold
out much longer, and large movement In
wheat is expected to set In Mt any moment. It
was the intention Of the trunk lines to order an
other reduction In rates of five cents per 100
pounds April l. but in view Of the immense
amount Of business they are now doing it is
very doubtful whether such reduction will be
would do them no good, RS they have not sutfi-
ecnt cars to carry ull the freight that offers ut
the present rates. Immense efforts have been
made during the last week to induce the North
pool, and it is understood that the managers Of
this road are weakening, and The prospects are
that they will soon fall u prey to the
Establishments Of Vanderbilt : Co. and ac-

THE RAILROADS.


CHICAGO d PACIFIC.
About one month ago THE TRIBUNE made the
announcement that the Milwaukee l. st. Paul
had Obtained control Of tho Chicago j. Pacific
hatroad, running from this city via EIgin to
Byron. ILL.,, and would amalgamate it with its
system OF roads. Since then every possible
effort has been made to dfscredit the statement,
and only week ago "scooped' morning
paper flung mud at THE TRIBUNE for giving so
much space to q canard, and asserted that the
road would never get into the hands OF the Mil
waukee i st. Paul. But, IS usual, the reliability
Of THE TR1BUNE's news will be infested before
many days have passed By the very
parties who have been SO anxious
to dtscredit it. THE TRIBUNE is now enabled to
state on the best of authority that the Mlwau-
kee St Paul has got the Chicago T. Pacific, and
that within few days the road will be redeemed
pany. As heretofore stated, tho Milwaukee &,
St. Paul has purchased most Of the stock Of the
Chicago & Pacific. which enables 1t to redeem
tho rpnd by paying to Mr.. John I. Blair the
amount he paid for it at the foreclosure sale
nearly year ago with interest to date. The
short ti dme ne ao Il he III MWaakeo @ l % St. Paul made %
efforts to purchase Mr.. Blair's interest, and thus
avoid the necessity Of redeeming, but Mr. Blair
and hence It was decided to redeem the prop
erty on account Of the stockholders A fight, it
is understood, is to be made on Mr. Blair. it
being 3gg, 1: elared that the bonds which he held
{$l, ,46o 000) aud on which he had the road placed
in bankruptcy, were not legally in his possession.
It is claimed that these bonds were given to him
as security for Iron furnished for the construc-
ton OF the road, and that he could not legally
cnim them as his own. The purchase money,
however, will be placed In tho hands of the
Court who will decide whether Mr. Blair Is en-
titled to it or not.
The Chicago & Pacific will at once be extended
from Byron to lauark. where connection will be
made with the Western Union branch of the
Milwaukee g. St. Paul This gives the St. Paul
road a straight mir line from Chicago to Cedar
Rapids, and nearly as straght line to Rock
Island. Report has it that the St. Paul Company
means to extend the line from Cedar Rapids to
Omaha, In which event it will have as short
line to that point as either Of tho three Iowa pool
lines. Another report ts that an extension Is
also to he made from Cedar Rapids via Ottumwa
to Missouri River points. II these reports are
true the Milwaukee & St. Paul will become the
largest and most powerful Of all the Chicago
ronls. reaching all prominent points Southwest,
West and Northwest The Importance Of this
purchase to Chicago can hardly be oyeresti-
mated, as it enables the Milwaukee s. st. Paul
to bring most Of it's Western business direct to
Chicago without going around by way Of Mil
wntlkee.
It may also be stated In this connection that
the Milwaukee & St. Paul has secured control uf
the Southern Minnesota and Dakota Southern
Railroads and will soon tnke charge Of them.
