THE TRUNK LINps AND THEIR CONNECTIONS
CALLED To REMHLY THE SITUATION.
The long-exlstlng decentralization In export freight
rates from tho West has recently been aggravated by
fresh cuts at the West Last week the trunk lines de-
cided to take a vote on the question Of abandoning
the scheme adopted few months ago for making
export rates by adding to the inland tariff the average
of the ocean rates all Of the Atlantic seaporS The
plan has been practically Ignored for some weeks and
rates have been gradually becoming lower and more
unstable. The Produce Exchange trade has protested
against the condition of affairs which has made the
through rate to European ports in some Instances
lower than the rate from Chicago to New-Yoik on
local shipments. The granger cuts have recently
added further clement OF disorder to the Situation
Commits sloncr Fink tas issued call for a meeting Of
the JOINT Executive Committee of tho trunk lines and
their Western Connections tomorrow TO take up the
subject Of export and bring order out Of chaos

Blaine's Ambiguity.

II is quite likely that Mr.. Blainc's latest

will do nothing 10 relieve the suspense

minds.
II would have been so easy for him to
declare finally and emphaiically in way
that would have allowed doubt To exist
no longer, that he is not a candidate and
would not except the nomination IL ten
dercd him. II would have been so easy
for him to haze left clear field for the
other entries in the race. But he chooses
To do nothing Of the kind. lie simply
adhcrcs TO his former declaration Of gilt
tering and ambiguous gcncrali,ics, and
leaves the gentlemen on the anxious seat
To make the most of il.
lie simply says nothing TO prevent his
friends from using their utmost cndeav-
ors to bring about his nomination, and
leaves the way open for his acceptance or
dcclination ms he may nj the time see fl.
Thus, then, if the nomination comes to
him MS the unanimous expression Of his
party, hc will be in u petition 10 give the
impression that /, is forced upon him. and
that he cannot, therefore, do otherwise
than accept. while, IL il does not come Ia
