The Northern dry goods interests are
not succeeding in their efforts to offset
the competition of Southern mills in the
West by securing reduced freight rates.
They have made complaints to the New
York Railway Commission, but received
little comfort, as they might have expect

Philadelphia Ledger, writing III this con-

''One Of the members Of that Commits

ago remarked, that their powers were too
limited to meet complaints Of this char.

as much out Of competition between diff
