RAILROAD RUMBLINGs.
The Pool Arbitrators Make Report

The Pool Arbitrators Make Report.
The Atlanta Constitution Of Yesterday
says: after session of three days the
board Of arbitration of the Southern Rail-
way and Steamship Association brOught
its labOrs to conclusion, and adjourned
at 1 p. m. yesterday. The report agreed
upon by the board, after careful consid-
Grafton of the printed arguments submit
ted, contains substantially the following
points:
-. The board decides that the aIlotments
OF business of the Atlantic and West Point
and the estern Railroad, of Alabama, must
be restored precisely as they existed prior to
September lat, thus placing the parties in the
same position they would have occupied if
there had been no interruption on either side,
and it Is furthermore required that all bust
ness from those roads carried by the Central
and Georgia Roads since September lst, and
not put into the general pool, must be re-
ported and put into said pool.
=. The board also decides that all busi-
ness in dispute done by the East Tennessee.
Virginia and Georgia Railroad since the first
OF september must be pooled at the rates re-
ceived by said road, and not at the rates
published. This also applies TO such business
as may be done between this date and March
lst, next"
sit VIII be recOllected by readers OF this
column that the publication of certain al
legged differences between the East Ten.
nessee, Virginia and Georgia, and the
Central and other roads called forth a
statement to the effect that the Central
and Georgia had been doing Just what the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
people were charged with doing. To be
more specific. it was alleged that all busi-
ness coming from the Atlanta and West
Point, and the Western Railroads
went into private pool be-
tween the Central and the GeOr-
gla roads, thus shutting out the East Ten
nessee, Virginia ana Georgia Railroad
from competition. Under the report Of
the board Of arbitratOrs, all this will have
to be pooled. While this may appear to
be point gained by the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia people it is very
evident that the required pooling of all
the disputed business done by the East
@nnessee, Virginia and Georgia, since
September !, scores a point for the Gen.
tral. To lust what extent the carrying
out of the conditions LAID down by the
board will affect the two belligerent
roads, cannot be definitely ascertained.
Now that the report has been rendered
people will naturally inquire what is 60
inc TO be done about 1t. The issue is still
involved I'm uncertainty. The party at
interest may quietly carry out the de-
crees of the arbitration, or one or more
may kick and bring on the war of rates
which has been vaguely predicted for
some time past. As yet no meeting Of
the Executive Committee Of the Associa-
ton has been called, and Ii will be some
little time before any developments Of an
active nature may be expected"

AnInterestipr COTTON suit.

BOsToN, Jan. le.-An interesting ques-
tion OF insurance is pending between the
New England conslgnees Of large guam
nies and the South Carolina and the Vir-
ginia, Tennessee and Georgia Airline
Railroad. Cotton to the value of about
$500, 900 was recently destroyed by fire
while in possession of the defendant
railroad companies on which an open
policy Of insurance had been issued. By
the terms of the bill of lading of said
railroad companies it was stipulated that
in case of loss by fire the railroad COM
panies should have the benefit of the in
surance in case the loss was paid by them.
The consignees deny the legality Of this
clause, and the litigation is the result.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE business fail

telegraph to r. G. Dun & Co., number for
the United States 3S2 and for Canada 40
or total of 424 as against a total of 332
the previous week, an increase of 90. Two
hundred and twenty-six of these failures
occurred in the Western and Southern
States. This is the greatest number of
failures reported in any week. it is be-
IleVed, since 1878. They are neither large
nor significant in character, being COM
posed mainly of small class of traders.
ana the number has probably been
largely augmented by restricted business.
owing TO unfaVOrable weather at a Deriod
when the settlements of the first fifteen
days OF the year were being made. An
Other potent cause for tho increased num-
Der OF failures is found in the preferences
permitted in the absence of a national
bankrupt law. Almost every dispatch re-
celved announcing failure Indicates that
relatives or other parties in the locality
are preferred to the detriment of creditors
al Tue chlef business centres. The reports
as 10 the prospects of the trade are not as
unfayorable as these failures would seem to
indicate. Ihere is an active movement
IN the retail trade throughout the country
owing To the abundance of snow. and the
deliveries of grain and other produce are
large. In the lumber regions consider
able activity is reported. Want of conf
dence seems more confined to localities
affected by speculative operations rather
than 10 the country at large. The stocks
OF merchandise are small, and an active
demand for the early spring is antici-
pated.
