The cause of tho difileulty is that the Dhiladelphin, Wilmi ton. & Daltimors Company has persistoutly ro- fused to make pro rata rates with tho Battimorn & Oliio on the cut rates on Western freight and paasengors, although it carried the freight of the Daltimora & Olo at what are knows us min- imum rates, which are iuch Joss than the rogular local rates, Iu consideration of tho large mmount mhipped.

Tho quedtion is pow whether the Philadolpbis, Wil- mington & Ialtimora Rallroad Company will rofuse to carry passongers for tho Daltimore & Olio, As thig would canso conslderabia loss to both parties, it {8 thought it will nat bo dous, though It is Imposaiblo to say to what oxtont the wmatter may bo carried.
