The impression seems to have gained
Judgment in the mind of the public that at
last rates are to be maintained. 1t seems
almost too good to be true. For very many
years attempts, more or less determined,
have been made, from time to time, to es-
tablish fair and uniform rates and adhere
to them. The most solemn promises and
pledges have been given by the managers
that the agreements should be lived up to,
and almost before the ink was dry on the
signatures to the agreements some of the
signers would be found to he cutting, or at
least be charged with it. apd another fail
ure had to be recorded To the average
business man this has been inexplicable.
In other lines of business there have been
periods of as sharp competition as ever ex
listed in transportation, and cutting of rates
or prices has led to ruinous business. But
when those concerned realized that persist
ence in such competition meant steady loss
they have invariably come together upon
fair common ground and agreed to conduct
their business upon business principles, and
when such agreement was entered into it
has been lived up to-at least for a long pc
Rod of time. No one has ever been able to
understand why railroad men could not do
the same Personally there are no more
honorable men to be found in any calling
Yet heretofore all agreements among them
selves to conduct their business along GER
tain established lines appear to have been
made only with view to their violation
The reason for this will probably ALWAYS
remain Il mystery.

Future of the West shore.

There is considerable speculation as to
what viii be the exact status of the West
Shore road upon the contamination of the
expected consolidation with the New York
Central which it is said will take place
soon. For the past fourteen years the road
has been run as a leased line and nominallv
as a rival of the Central and its connections
in general business. A fact which will have
a strong influence in determining the settle
ment Of the question is that the Central,
the business of which has grown enormous
" since the leasing of the West Shore now
finds that its New York business is greater
than II has facilities for properly handling
al its city terminals. On the other hand,
the West Shore has at Weehawken vastly
greater terminal facilities than it has ever
been called upon to utilize. 1t is probable
that after April / the West Shore will be
operated as a part of the Central that the
present connections of the road with New
England and Western lines will be modified
SO as TO permit the concentration of the
greatest possible share of freight of the
consolidated roads at the Weehawken ter
minals, and that the name West Shore will
disappear from public view, although the
corporate title will be retained for charter

GAVE WAY TO SELLING
WHEAT SHOWED EARLY STRENGTH,
COLLAPSING AT THE CLOSE.
When Longs Began to Take Profit
Grain and Pork Declined.

CHICAGO. Feb. 7.-selling out to-day by
recent longs caused weakness in wheat.
After an early advance of 1c on crop dam
age reports, May left off with net decline
of 14c. Corn declined 1ac and oats are I'M
changed. Pork lost &C and lard and ribs 21sc
each.
The Liverpool wheat market was quite
strong to begin with and domestic receipts
of wheat in the Northwest smaller than
a year ago. For these reasons
the market here started firm at
an Improvement of Ac, with open
ing transactions for May delivery at from
725SQ7234c. Shortly after the opening New
York reported the buying of wheat there
for foreign account, and as there was
good deal of anxiety among the local crowd
concerning the condition of the wheat, ow-
ing to continued cold weather, May was bid
up to 73c. Chicago receipts We're 237 cars,
of which p graded contract Minneapolis
and Duluth got 40l cars, against 452 the cor
responding day a year ago. Western pri-
mary market receipts for the first time in
months were less than those of the CORE
spending day last year, amounting to $4,000
blu. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to $1,000 bu. Complaints
Of drought from California and India
started shorts covering on a large scale,
and as there was considerable buying for
the long account May hesitating around
729sc rallied quickly to 1889 Then profit
taking set in and the price sagged off to
72s4c Bradstreet reported an increase of
1SS9,000 bu in the worlds visible, and as
that was very much under the increase ex-
pected the buying that followed this an
nouncement put the price UP to 731sc. The
rally did not hold however, as some local
spectators who had bought wheat yester-
day, started to sell out on the bulge and
they soon had so many imitators that a
drop in May wheat to 1%@713sc was the
work of only about a half hour. The clos
ing price was 717sG72c.
Business in corn was not very brisk or ex-
tensive. The buying was of an indifferent
character and the market was allowed to
sag. Receipts were enormous, amounting
to 1855 cars. May opened shade lower
at 37Q371sc, advanced to 3714c, then declined
to $3.50 buyers, the closing price.

RAILROAD STATISTICS
VAST EXTENT OF RAILWAY SYSTEMS
OF THE COUNTRY.
Name of West Shore to Disappear
Why Have Rates Never Been
Maintained HeretOfOre9

Some statistics cOllated by Duane Doty
concerning the railroads of the United
States are well worthy of attention. He
shows that. including $500 miles of yard
trackage and siding, there are now in this
country 244,50O miles of railroad All this
has been built in little less than seventy
years, there having been but twenty-five
miles of road in 1890 At the average value
of $4,000 per mile, the 1S65OO miles of travel
ing trackage are worth the enormous sum
of S11. 49, 100000. Including terminals and
equipment il is estimated that the railroads
represent one-seventh of the wealth of the
country. For every one hundred mics of
road there is an average of $50 employees,
receiving an average wage of $3.50 per an
num-or, 579.250 employees, receiving ag
gregate wages of 1927 ,276. $50 per year, while
the entire force necessary to operate this
vast business is about $4,000, at cost for
wages of more than s4S0OOO,O0O annually.
During the past year the roads carried
$50 600 600 passengers, for 500 100000. and the
books show that to earn 81 net from this
source of revenue the roads had to carry
passenger 500 miles. The net earnings of all
the roads from all sources were little
more than $1O0O,OOO per day. There are
1325,OOO cars of all kinds in use, and 100000
new freight cars are required to replace the
yearly loss through wear and tear of bust
ness and accidents. 1t is estimated that
the roads could profitaby use 100000 more
freight cars than they now have, so i'm
mensely has the business of the country in
creased within the past year or two. There
are $1,000 locomotives in use, of which num-
Der 10000 are engaged in hauling passen-
ger trains. 1t is shown that each freight
aoana s.-l,A Il oh,
passenger engine $1,000 passengers yearly.
So low have freight rates fallen that the
freight engines have had to haul ton of
freight 153O miles to earn 81.
