nIruMINous coAL RATES.


Representatives OF Several RRil-
roads Agree TO an Advance.
Philadelphia November 16-There was a
meeting today in the general Office of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company between
freight representatives of the Pennsylvania
railroad, Reading railway, Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. Beach Creek railway, Chesa-
peake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western
Railway companies, in an effort for re-
adjustment of rates on bituminous coal
ard an advance IN price for 1899.
Although an agreement was entered into
earlier in the year to maintain prices it
was not carried out. At the same time the
railroad companies issued an order for
bituminous freight rates to be advanced
but owing 10 the general Unanimous coal
war the freight rates were not long main
tanned and the railroad companies soon
entered into competition to secure ali the
they could handle.
While those who attended the meeting
were somewhat reticent as to what was
done ii is understood that all agreed that
the time was ripe 10 make an advance and
that as soon as everything could be ar
ranged notice to this effect would be issued
but before any official announcements is
made the matter Will have to be submitted
TO the presidents Of the companies.
