ARosr Wow of Pools.

There is a good deal of truth in the remarks of
Commissioner Fink to a reporter who inter
viewed him as to the talk concerning his resig-
nation Commissioner Fink said ''The pool is
growing stronger all the time, Railroad men
are becoming educated to it, and its influence
was never greater When it was first formed
the representatives of this, that, or the other
road were very freein saying that they would
upset the whole arrangement, but they don't
talk that way now. They buster great deal,
but when one man says that if thus and so is not
done he will begin to smash things, the other
representatives say; Very well, sir if you are
going to break up this pool and disturb the earn
ings of 2S,000 miles of railway you will have to
stand the responsibility, and your name viii go
the minutes of this pool meeting as the re-
sponshle party When they come to talk to a
man that way he fiinches No one is ready to
stand the onus of doing this. His stockholders
have rights, and liable to inquire. closely into
the circumstances of the case. There is less of
such talk now, and don't think it will grow"

The Old Colony Railroad Company continues
taking under its wing moro short roads in
Massachusetts, and this road will soon bear the
same relation to the Bay State in the extent Of
its railroad system that the Pennsylvania COM

Old Colony railroad was chartered in 1874 to
build a short line out of Boston. The capital
was Loo shares at 800 each. From this begin
ming it went on year after year, adding branches
and taking in roads, until now it is made up of
what was once twenty different railroads. This

Where Charges Can Be Consistently Cut
Down.

Western shippers are complaining Of exor-
bitant elevator charges as well as hghterage, at
New York city. There are said to be thirty eight
grain elevators in Buffalo, ten of which can do
all the business while nineteen of them are said
to have done nothing in years although in the
elevator pool and drawing their pro rata share
of the profit on what goes through the ten which
are running, The result is that all grain going
through them pays equal to four elevations, or
four times fair profit Hence Buffalo rates
can be reduced three-fourths, and still leave a
legitimate profit for the elevators which are
used, and those which not used ought to be
driven out of the business and put to some use,
instead of lying idle, a needless tax of three
fourths of cent, per bushel, at least. on every
bushel of grain that goes through Buffalo The
lighterage and elevator charges are tax upon
Western roads and Western shippers which
should be reduced to the lowest practical figure.
The charges are exorbitant now, as compared
with transportation rates.

more attractive in moral than a financial point
