AGREEMENT ON RATES.

There was a great deal OF smoke over very
little fire." said prominent New-York Central
official yesterday referring to the recent reports
about huge mergers. consultations and changes in
control Of various railroad lines. The Pennsyl-
vania never had any idea Of taking over the Bati-
more and Ohio and for the present at least 1t would
be impracticable for the New-York Central to take
up the Chesapeake and Ohio and the Big Four.
The truth is that recently certain strong factors
I'm the railroad world. who have been more or less
at odds, have come TO an amcabe understanding
as to the maintenance OF rates The agreement
reaches every Eastern trunk line and think rates
arc on a more stable and permanent basis than
they have been for long time before.
"The argument that effected this understanding
was very simple. Here there is freight enough for
every one and then some left over Times are
good The freight tonnage is enormous. With
the increase In business salaries have gone up. The
price Of equipment has gone up. Everything that
railroad uses or utilities has gone up In price

placed against this Increase, the roads were in
bad shape indeed So some quiet conferences took
place Some differences and grievances were adj

that he is almost daily receiving from influential
party leaders representing practically all portions
OF the country. letters 10 the effect that he has
