New YORK, Sept. 5.-Aetive bullion brok-
ers are not discouraged by the decline of
silver to 81 1874. a leading broker says the
reaction is natural. After rapid advance

been boarded away is finding its way to
market Then again, the Secretary of the
Treasury is not likely to take any great
amount of bullion until about the middle of
the month. The greatest cause of the de-
cline is pure and simple manipulation in an
effort to get bullion at lower prices and to
catch stop orders.

An Important Decision Affecting Consolidated

cision that the acquisition and consolidation
by rail-carrier, under one system of man.
agement, of different competing lines Of the
road, serving the same territory in the car
rage of competitive traffic to the same mar
kets, cannot create the right on the part of
the carrier to take advantage of the cOnsoli-
datlon OF interests to deprive the public of
the benefits. Of fair competition, nor afford a
warrant for oppressive discrimination with
view to its own interests, such as equaliz-
ing profits from its several divisions by max
ing rates and charges for one division that
give profitable markets to portion OF its
patrons, and higher rates and charges to
another division. that are destructive 10 the
pursuits of other patrons, who are competi-
tors in the same business, but its duty to the
public requires that its service must be alike
to all who are situated alike. The commits
sion further holds that the road cannot
charge one rate for petroleum in tank cars
and another for the same in barrels. The
weight of barrels must be taken as pert of
the weight Of the car, just as the weight of
the tank.
