reports received from ninety representa-

are contained in the monthly review of
credit and business conditions by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
The discussion of retail trade was in
part as follows:
january sales by stores in upstate
cities show relatively greater losses
than sales by stores in New York city
and vicinity. Evidence that the volume
Of sales was greater than last year
when allowance is made for price

LINES TO ASK RATE
DECISION REVIEW
Trunk Roads Would Restrain
/. c. G. Award to New
England Companies.

The trunk line railroads decided yes
terday to obtain court review of the
Interstate Commerce Commissions order
awarding the New England railroadsa
10 per cent. increase in their share Of
rates on interchanged freight. The de-
cision to seek an injunction restra ining
the commission from enforcing its ruling
was taken In a meeting of committee
of railroad executives held yesterday in
the Pennsylvania Hotel at the call of
William Fl. Williams, chairman of the
Wabash Railroads directors.
Counsel for the trunk lines will base
their case on the ground that the COM
mission exceeded It's authority in order
ing blanket increase. estimated to be
approximately s10.0o0,000 yearly. in the
joint revenues Of the New Haven Rail-
road and other New England carriers.
The contention that it erred in failing
to make specific revision by commodities
OF the revenues and their division be-
tween the trunk lines and the roads Of
the New England group will be made.
It will be argued that the order was
unconstitutional in that it would con-
fscate parts Of revenues Of so termed
strong carriers in aid Of those in weaker
financial positions.
Application Tor the injunction VIII De
made in the Federal court Of the
southern or the northern New York dis
trict. Whatever way the case be de-
cided it is considered foregone con-
clusion that the losing side Will appeal
to the United States Supreme Court.
Meanwhile the commissions order will
go into effect technically on March l,
but, pending the outcome of the litiga-
ton, the actual exchange of funds under
the order probably will be avoided by
postponement OF payment and adjust
ment Of balances due between roads OF
