RAILROAD INTERESTS.
HOPE THAT TARIFFS ARE AT BOTTOM
THE TRUNK LINE SITUATION UNoHANeED-
wAIrING~FoR FITURE DEVELOPMENTS.


WAITING FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS.
There was no substantial change In the Trunk llEo
situation yesterday, although bulls and bears IN
Wall Street made use of various to help their
respective postons in the stock market. There has
been no call for conference OF railroad officers ana
the subject has not broached the issues al STAKE
being too well understood by railway men TO require
a formal meeting and there being present prospect
of any good growing out of one.
Too much significance has been attached TO repoTooa
conferences between members of the firm OF Drexel'
Morgan g. Co and the officers OF the roads which
lean largely upon them for financial support anu
banking facilities. There IS reason 10 D'iie'c 'n"'
most of the conversations held In this drecooh h'o
been for the purpose OF allaying any alarh "h'n
might have been felt by the banking community anu
showing TO the representatives Of the large forcgh
interests In American roads the necessity ior tho
action taken on Monday by the New-York Cen'rai
in adopting secret the open tariff IL thoso
conversations have paved the way to final adjustment
of the controversies which have produced the present
condition of affairs, the fact will be welcomed py
all conservative trunk line managers. These con-
troversies were fully set forth In Tho Tribune OF
Tuesday and Wednesday.
The dfercntaLrate roads were reported yesterday
to be refusing freight at the new tarihs, but the
rumor probably grew out Of mIsappreheusion Inc
so-called weaker roads have made further cuts in
rates. and tho Pennsylvania Railroad has not issued
any tariff below that OF New-YOrk Central. which is
several above the rates OF the Ere the Lacka
wanna, the Lehigh Valley, the Baltimore and Ohio
and the West Shore. The feeling in railway circles:
ship pers who always seek rates lower than
the apparently saye sSt consdsred
while no immediate advance is expected / Is hoped
bound tariffs, which are certain to be adjusted
on every occasion to actual rates.
