RAILWAY NOTES.
The Eastern Railroad.

In the Boston market Eastern Railroad
stock continues steady at 474 bid. Some ques-
tion has arisen as to the provision under the
terms OF the lease of the Eastern to the Boston
and Maine Railroad Company for the contin-
ued payment Of 100000 per annum into the
sinking fund for the redemption of the East
ern debt. 1t may be stated that when, by the
issuance Of preferred stock, the debt OF the
Eastern shall have been reduced to ten mil
lions, the owners of the Eastern Railroad
Company stock do not intend to further reduce
the debt out Of the earnings of the company.
1t would not appear to be right after an imme-
diate reduction of several millions in the
years debt ID continue the burden Of reduce
tion upon the present owners of the road and
two plans have been suggested for relief. One
by which the bondholders, when subscribing
for preferred stock, shall waive the sinking
fund claims in res eet TO their bonds, and
another by which the Legislature shall be APP
pealed to for repeal of that portion Of the act
under which the Eastern vas reorganzed, re-
lating to the continuance of the shaking funds
Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific.
There have been several dispatches from
London recently in relation to proposed un-
ion of tho two concerns. Fuller details Of the
tAoAoaSstobo onOW THAT tub lOuONlQE Is the
basis upon which an understanding was ar
rived at: The Crank Trunk recognizes the
right Of the Canadian Pacific to a monopoly
OF all the traffic to and from the Northwest.
The Canadian Pacific will abstain from invad
ing the territory OF the Grand Trunk, and both
lines viii interchange all the traffic in man
ner mutually convenient and in the interest
of the respective lines II the construction Of
the Ontario and Quebec Railway should not
be proceeded with. which in the light OF the
agreement may not be improbable, equal fa-
cilitles for both companies will be provided
by the duplication OF the existing lines or the
construction OF loop lines.
A dispatch from London says that the presi-
dents OF the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacif-
ic railways have united in a dispatch TO the
general managers ia Canada, in which they
instruct the Canadian officers to prepare at
once an agreement which shall settle all
pending differences between those two cor
porations
