is RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS
ANNOUNCEMENT.
REVENUES SHOW BIG GAINS
Some Change May Be Made Next Fall.
but 1t Will Probably Be of
Small Importance.
RAISE IS NOT ADVISABLE NOW.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June s.
No general increase in freight rates is
likely to be made by the railways of the
country in the near future, if it be made
at all. Certainly enough nothing will be
done before next autumn, and it is un-
likely now that anything approNimating
general increase will be attempted
then.
At a recent meeting of presidents and
operating officials of important railroads
held in New York, it was the consensus
of opinion that it would be undesirable,
II not absolutely impracticable, TO put
INTO effect at this time an increase of
freight rates. Opinion at the meeting
was divided, but the majority inclined to
the view that it would be bad policy and
bad business, ut this juncture to attempt
an increase of rates
