Freight Officials.

The New Orleans States says OF the
meeting of Southeast Freight Association
officials in that city yesterday:
"vice-President Finley of the Southern
Railway. in speaking of the meeting
said:
There is nothing of special importance
to be done, and no particular significance
in our coming here to meet. These are
regular meetings of the two associations.
and as New Orleans had not been visited
in some time we concluded to come here"
One of the topics which 1t Is understood
will be discussed was that concerning
grain rates. 1t was denied that the MEM
bers of the association are after the IL
linois Central. The presence of the Sea-
board Air Line in the meeting has CREATED
somewhat Of stir as that line has not
been conspicuous heretofore In traffic
southeastern lines. Traffic Manager
Peasants Is over here in the interests of
his road. and is a gentleman whose agree
able presence and pleasant manner has
made him well liked among the members
Of the railroad fraternity. He is consid-
cred one of the most sagacious and rising
traffic men south of the Potomac.
