A freight rate has Oeon established

The new charge established jointly

OF s1.43 gross ton to Baltimore
docks, when the consignments of coal
are for points beyond tho Baltimore
local market.
This rate has heep enjoyed by the
Fairmout, Pocahontas and New

II cents a ton for the Pittsburgh dis

Coal already has been shipped from
the Pittsburgh district on the newly

Pennsylvania maintains the old >rate
for the MonougaheIa division. which
is in the same territory as the New

fields, but it is believed that the
Pennsylvania, too. will soon establish
the same reduced rate.
