Views of a General Freight Agent on the

In conversation with the railroad reporter OF

expressed after thoroughly canvassing the sltu-
alton, AS regards rates, Mr.. Hubbard said,
without qualification, that he did not beleVe

Possibly some oats were carried to interior
points at rates, but he rather questioned Inat'

pools, were all right, and the only pool that
could be carried out honestly. If the Vandalta

competing lines with money. He thought Com-
missioner Fink, any other railroad ofhcla.,
had no right to divert business from a road over
which shipper desired IL should be forwarded.
He had enough of this business. In the last
sixty days the Vandalia had turned 5000 tons OF
freight over the the Wabash and was stlli o,ooo

commissioners had right to say that 1t should

GENERAL NEWS.

Freight Rates of To-day p Compared with
the Tariff of Former Years.
1t is an excellent idea for shippers, more es-
pecially those who are chronic grumblers, to
make comparisons of the rates to-day with
those of fifteen to eighteen years ago and also
to consider the greater speed at which freights
are moved, the competing lines vying with
each other as to who shall make the quickest
time to seaboard and interior markets. Only
about eighteen years ago it was regarded as
predetermined by the managers of the principal
east and west trunk lines whether grain could
be profitably hauled from Chicago to New York
by rail, in competition with the lake, Erie canal
and Hudson river route. But during the year
1882 about 80 . per cent. of the total receipts
of grain at Atlantic seaports OF the United
States was by rail, and only 1913 per cent by
lake, canal and Hudson river. Even as late as
the year 1869, the rail rates from Chicago to
New York ranged from 30c. to 42c. per bushel,
but during nearly nine months of the year 1882
the established rate was only Zoe. per one
hundred pounds, or 15c. per bushel, and this
rate appears to have been regarded as fairly
renumerative The average rate for the year
was only 14.6c. per bushel.
During the last five years, 34.S3 per cent. of
the shipments of wheat, S719 per cent of the
shipments OF flour and 80. ID per cent. of the
East were by rail. Besides, grain and -four
were largely shipped from many other points in
the Western and North western States by rail TO
interior points in the Atlantic seaboard States
and to Atlantic seaports, the quantity of which
shipments cannot be accurately ascertained.
The following table indicates the average
freight charges per bushel which have prevailed
for the transportation OF grain from Chicago to
New York during each calendar year from 1868
TO 1882, inclusive:
