the New Jersey central, StArin's trans
portstion line, and the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western Railroad, the bust
ness ct the different depots along the
river front IL comparatively ct stand
still to-day. The merchants seem to
have given up all hope Of the shipment
Of their goods until the strike is ended, as
very few trucks are in Wasting along the
river front to discharge freight. Tn gen
eral impression prevails low that The cor
porations intend to maintain tie present
situation Of affairs until next month,
when freight charges are to be advanced.
Scarcely any strikers are to be seen 10
day in the vicinity Of their former places
of employ ment. They are still orderly,
and this has resulted in gaining them
much sympathy. The strong detail OF
police have nothing whatever to do.
New York, 25.-The Board of Trade
has passed 9 resolution declaring that the
advance asked by freight handlers should
be granted and protesting against such q
sweeping advance on west bound freight
rates as lately announced By trunk lines.

per month. =

struction train, they compelled the en-.
gineer and fremen TO join them. The

mum Der, went to the New Jersey Central
yard and captured the place, and the

House, 1T the foot of Washington street,
and. compelled the men to atop loading
the CARS of the Erie Company The

II is rumored that the locomotive engi-
neers have sent delegation to Cleseland
headquarters asking instructions, also
that the engineers and fremen will quit
work when the result OF the strike is
seen. The switchmen and brakemen in
the Central yard have joined the strikers,
and the entire freight traffic is at a stand
still.
1t lie expected that the military will be
called out. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has decided to transfer
its feight to South Amboy by the old
route.
Twelve miles of cars, loaded, most OF
them with perishsb freight, such as
melting butter, lard, etc.. are at the
deDots. The railroad company will prob
ably be compelled to make good any
damages. The delay causes daily loss
OF $4,000 to $500 600 to business men
OF this city, and at least 81, 250 600 loss is
already sustained. The trade is being
transferred TO other roads.
