An Effort to Stop Rate-Cuttire.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Nov. 17.-All the general
freight agents in the South will meet in this city
to-day, to endeavor, if possible, to avert the war
of freight rates which now seems inevitable
For some weeks there has been secret cutting on
Western roads to all points in the Southeast,
and several lines have been secretly awarding
rebates These rebates, which st first were linn
tied to one and two cents per 100 pounds. have
been gradually increased, and now reach fifteen
to twenty cents per 100 pounds The cuts have
been utterly demorallzine to rates, and the rival
lines are threatening to enter into bitter war,
and it now appears that the meeting will be un-
able to avert it.
