Railroad Rates On Peaches.
A DECISION or THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE coNlru
RION

The Interstate Commerce Commission has an.
nounesa an opinion, prepared by Commissioner
schoonmaker, dismissing the complaint OF the
New Jersey Fruit Exchange against the Central
Railroad Co, Of New Jersey, and the Lehigh VAL
ley Railroad Co. The point In controversy was
the reasonableness OF the rates on peaches from
points on the DEFENDANTS lines In New Jersey to
New York city, but as It was unquestionably
shown BY the evidence that the peaches were de-
Mvered In Jersey City, and thu carriage to New
York was by the consignees, the Commission holds
that the transportation was entirely within the
state Of New Jersey, and therefore beyond It's
jurisdiction. The opinion says Il fs thought ap-
propnate TO observe, however. that In view Of the
Increasing volume OF business In the peach trafac
and the Increased competition In the New York
market, . reasonable reduction In the rates
might b just. that rates which were
probably reasonable and necessary In the tn
fsncy OF the business might now be reduced 70
