NO COMPROMISE.
Fight For Differential From Buffalo 10
Tid9water to Continue.


Philadelphia, March 7. - With the
announcement of the last reduction in
ex-lake grain rates to tidewater comes
the statement of prominent official
of one of the roads waging this fight
in favor Of the port of Philadelphia,
that the Pennsylvania, the Philadel-
phia and Reading, the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Lehigh Valley railroads
are in to the finish. No quarter will
be given or asked, he asserted, until
the matter has been finally settled
81 am more convinced than ever"
he said, since have looked into this
matter closely, that this port is en-
titled to a differential. The only ques-
ton in my mind is whether the present
one is large enough. During the first
six months of 1893 New York did 80
per cent of the export grain trade of
the three ports of New York, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore. This left a paltry
IS per cent to be divided between this
city and Baltimore. If the present diff
ferential of mills helped Philadelphia
to such slight extent, then | feel that
/ cent would be nearer the proper fig
ure. The sooner this entire question
of differentials, both eX-lake and west
ern, is adjusted, the better it will be
for this port"
It is said that Oscar G. Murray, pres
ident of the Baltimore and Ohio, will
be the chairman of the committee
which has power to make an agree
ment with the Southwestern lines on
a fixed schedule.
