The Chicago Times says: For several
weeks there has been serious disturbance
IN California freight business from the At.
ihhuc seaooard, which has oCcasoned an
immense amount OF trouble to the trunk
lines, The California traffic, a. it has been
called, has been carried from eastern norris
10 the racine coast by rail- under special
contracts the routes over which il has pass
ed being IN control of the Central Pacific
roau, under special arrangement with the
trunk lines from the east to connecting
points. The Central Pacific owns the South.
ern Pacific, which has connecting lines from
III faso with Galveston and New Orleans.
TO which points lines of steamers run from
New ork and other Atlantic ports, con. |
Meeting with these roads, that are feeders
OF the Southern Pacific. The rates ON |
ireights from New Orleans to San Fran. |
cisco are the same as from Chicago to San
francisco, while from Galveston they ara
the same as from Kansas CITY |
In order to divert San Francisco and |
racine coast trade from the trunk lines
whleh have the right, as they think, to the |
carriage OF all such traffic, the lines of
steamers between New York aud New Or. |
leans aud Galveston. have been cutting
rates to such an extent as to make the |
through rate l6 per cent less than contract |
rates last Saturday, and % per cent. less on |
M onday last, IL is understood that these
breaks in such rates are only increasing H.
cut that was made several weeks ago. when |
a demand was made by the trunk lines
upon the Central Pacific for an exclamation
OF matters, and stoppage of San Frar cisco
tratilc over the Southern Pacific. Asyet
no reply has been made by the Central
racine, ana The trunk lines have about con.
cluued that the matter has reached such
crisis as to result in absolving them from

and the Southern Pacific, war of rates
may. be looked for that will result in the
carriage OF such traffic at II erey nominal
figures from seaboard to seaboard. The
Texas Pacific was said to have Joined in the
cut, making a rate as low as 81. but raising
II to 50 ON Monday. The Delaware &
Lackawansa railroad, which is moi in the
ttunk'line pool, and the Union Pacific and
santa Fe route, are said to have already
Joined in the cut, and are taking a reason.
ABLE share OF such traffic The action of the
central Racine, in apparently recognizing
the diversion OF San Francisco freights, and
being 50 slow in replying to the notifc,
ton OF the trunk lines of the existence of
the cut, is severely criticised by trunk. line
Interests, and il Is regarded as a complete
absoluion from the existing contract. Tn.

within few days, formal announcement
VIII be made by the trunk-line pool that
the special contract with the Central Pacific
railroad is no longer of any binding force
or effect upon them, after which the carry
ing Of California ireights may assume an
attitude that will astonsh the parties OF
the recent Gu, of rates.
