FREIGHT RATES INCREASED
CONTROL OF STEAMBOAT LINES
HAS NO BEARING ON THE CASE.

The Baltimore Sun of today says:
Representatives OF Baltimore whole
sale grocers and Clarence III. Forrest
secretary of the Merchants and Manu-
facturcrs' Association. had a confer
ence yesterday with Division Passenger
Agent Drayton, of the Pennsylvania
railroad, relative to the increase in
freight rates made recently by the
Pennsylvania railroad from Baltimore
and Philadelphia to points
on the Eastern Shore. Before
the increase the rates were the same
from Baltimore, Philadelphia and viii
mington.
Mr.. Drayton told them that the
Pennsylvania railroad had decided to
also increase the rates from Whining
ton, making them the same as those
from Baltimore and Philadelphia. BY
this action was established the same
relative condition OF affairs as prevail
ed prior to the increase. Mr.. Drayton
said that he had been instructed six
months ago-before the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad purchased the Baltimore.
Chesapeake and Atlantic-to amend the
schedule of rates TO points on the Pen
insula, and that the securing of the
control of the lines of the steamboat
company had no bearing on the in
crease in rates.
