DEAR S1Rs-Please refer to our interview OF
Yesterday WlCQ respect 10 export business from
the west through the South Atlantic and gulf
Relating to this subject beg to invite your
attention TO the following resolution adopted at
81: the meeting of the rate committee of the South
ern Railway and Steamship Associations, held in
New York on the 18th of April, 1892, as follows,
to wit:
Resolusd That it is the sense of this associa-
+ ton that rates to the South Atlantic ports. in
81 GLIDING tue gulf ports OF Pensacola and Mobile,
81 on grain, -four and live stock from the west
for direct export should be kept In line with the
rates to more Northern Atlantic ports, and that
81 the commissioner be authorized to make from
u tine to time such ates as may be necessary to
enable the lines to the South Atlantic ports to
carry the property through those ports, pro-
S vided that no rates shall be made which in the
e judgment Of the commissioner would be so low
as to be Improbable to the rail lines.
lido not know that can do anything moro
than to say that the general sentiment Of the
representatives. of the different roads forming
the Southern Railway and Steamship Associa-
Il ton was in faver of giving announcement to
the establishment of an export trade through
81 tie South Atlantic and gulf ports, and as soon
as parties interested in steamship lines signify
s. desire to build up such trade the railroads
Of this association will give their cooperation.
81 Yours truly, E. B. STAHLMAN,
Commissioner.

Mr.. NettletoD, president Of the Kansas.
& Memphis and Birmingham railroad, and
ar. Thomas Of the Mas willie and Chatta-
nooga railroad have both promised effort,
thus making a continuous connection by
B rail to the Mississippi river from the South
IA Atlantic
Now, let the railroads, in addition to low
rates, put their forces to work to get I'D
oargoes for these lines. Let exporting men,
Ike the Inmaus, who ship thousands of cot
ton bales by tramp ships to Europe, use
these lines as far as they can. Let our i'm
porting men, like the Conkling tin plate
Importers, Elias, May & Co., of bagging
stuff; j. P. Stevens, of jewelry; Dobbs,
Wey & Co., of crockery, and Jacobs phar-
macy, OF wines, etc. make immediate plans
70 get their imports direct by these liues,
and foreign traffic will be put up to pay
lng size quickly.
