pectnever better than tnis season in Wilson

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, June 12.-Lake Shore has
made another cut in east-bound rates.
This time on wool. The rate is cut to
fifty cents per hundred from si1ty-five
and seventy cents.
Trunk line officials outside of Lake
Shore are forcing lower rates. The Lake
Shore claims it is meeting secret cuts.
The Lake Shore has so far openly cut the
rate on wheat, dressed beef, cattle and
wool.
Jay Gould says: al do not see any
reason for selling stocks at these prices;
on the contrary, 1 do see many reasons
why the people should hold on to what
they have. The Missouri Pacific road is
making earnings which indicate that the
general business of the country must be
in first class condition. Our gross re-
turns are very large, and our net profits
satisfactory. 1 think the market is not
likely TO react very much, and I am
looking for some considerable improve
ments -

Want Cheaper Local Ratss.

Special TO the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX. June IA meeting
was held this afternoon in Manage T
Grants office of the Texas and Pacific,
at which there were present representa-
tives of the wholesale trade Of Dallas,
and also of the Texas and Pacific, Hous-
ton and Texas Central, Missouri Pacific,
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Gulf, Col
orado and Santa Fe and the International
and Great Northern. The meeting was
held for the purpose of considering the
question of cheaper local rates from
Dallas TO distributing centers. Repre-
sentatiyes of the Dallas wholesale trade
appeared before the railroad rep
resentatives and asked for cheaper
local rates to distributing points
in Texas, urging as q reason that they
were placed at a disadvantage here in
Texas by reason of the long haul,
through rates being lower than the local
rates from Dallas to common distributing
and competitive points in Texas.
The railroad representatives took the
matter under consideration and promised
TO do what they could toward meeting
the wishes of the wholesale men.

Notes from the Rail.

It has been agreed by the other cattle
hauling roads in Texas TO let the Hous-
Ton and Texas Central have a monopoly
OF the cut cattle rates. No road, SO far,
has met the cut, aud as the matter now
stands none of them will do it. If there
Is going TO be any fun in the business, the
Central is going TO have big lot of SOL
hare enjoyment.
lit is all foolishness fog the roads to
20 TO work and knock cattle rates all to
pieces Just because the Central gets to
cutting up, - said General Livestock
Agent J 2. Moore of the Texas and Pa
cifO Yesterday, land no road will meet
the cut. The Central will be allowed TO
do all the lighting herself, and she can
keep il up until she has enough of it. L
guess she will get tired of the business
after she finds out that nobody is p ying
any attention TO her foolishness.
"The Central is not strictly speaking,
cattle road, aud the cut rate is not
going 10 divert much business from the
other lines. The Central reminds me
very much of the boy who was kicking
8 great big Over-gTown man about my
size. The hoy kicked away until he was
nearly worn out and when he saw that
10 attention was paid to him he ran
around in front of the man and bawled
out:
Z" Darn you soul don t you know that
have been kicking you for about ten
minutes:'
90 Il was not aware of it, said the big
fellow, but II il amuses you Just keep il
up; it don, ( bother me. -

The Richmond and Danville railroad
has issued similar circulars to its en-
ployes to those recently issued on the
Georg ia Central road, and which so
nearly caused big strike. The en-
ployes are of course vigorously kicking
against taking the obligation to abstain
from the use of all intoxicating drinks
aud TO exercise their influence to prevent
others from frequenting saloons, and so
forth. They object to signing away too
much of their privileges, but it is said
that many of the employees would not
hesitate to take upon themselves these
obligations If the officers of the road
would do the same thing. The officers
are not prepared tor this sacrifice at

Consolidating these three controls, thu
Vanderbilts may be fairly estimated to

state law requires a joint depot to be

pots have been insignificant affairs, but
this one will be an exception to the rule
and will be a first-elass structure in
