Railroad Notes.


The Toronto Globes London letter of the
18th inst. says the rumor that Mr.. Vanderbilt
had visited London for the purpose of outbid-
ding the Grand Trunk for the possession of the
Great Western had no bad effect upon the
market. Concerning the report that Mr.. Van
derbilt had indicated his intention to with
draw the traffic which his lines give to the
Great Western and hand it over to the Lake
Shore and Canada Southern, in which it is
said he is personally interested, the correspon-
dent asks: Are we, then, to believe that this
great railway king has, all this time been d.
recting annually G400,000 worth of his traffic
over the Great Western line from purely phi
lanthropic motives, and for the benefit of Ca
madam railways rather than those in which he
and his family are largely interested? 1t
seems hardly probable. Rather. think, may
Mr. Vanderbilt's reason be found in the fact
that such an arrangement has hitherto worked
for the mutual benefit of their respective in
terests. If SO, it is not likely he will withdraw
his traffic from the road, over which it is to his
interest to direct it, just out of mere spite to
the Great Western shareholders for their re-
cent action. Were he, however, to take this
course, and have in future nothing to do with
the Grand Trunk and Great Western as ANAL
gamated it would be serious matter for these
companies, for they would thus be deprived OF
e400,00O of their annual earnings. 1t is gem
orally believed that Mr.. Vanderbilt will, when
here, agree with Sir Henry Tyler and Lord
Bury upon some permanent understanding as
to the interchange of traffic between the roads
over which he has control, and those over
which Sir Henry and Lord Bury preside. The
arrangements for carrying out the resolution
of the Great Western shareholders in regard
to the fusion movement are now approaching
completion. The solicitors Of the respective
companies are preparing the necessary legal
instruments, and it is hoped that an agreement
will be ready to submit to the proprietors in
the course of next month.
The money required to build the Ontario q
Quebec railway between Toronto and Ottawa,
has been paid down, and the road is now UNI
der contract to be finished by January, 1884.
When this road is finished it will give another
outlet for Chicago traffic to the seaboard by
connecting with the Credit Valley and Canada
Southern railways, in the Vanderbilt interest,
of course, and in opposition to the Grand
Trunk.
Mr.. Albert Fink, who has SO long and SO
