The Erle and New York Central Roads are allowed under the New York pooling arrangement each 3 per cent, or 68 per cent of ail the receipts trom frtights, the Pennsylvania taking 25 percent, and the Baltlmure & Ohio the reinaining 9 per cent. The 6 per cent of the New York roads is principally concentrated at Baflulo, at which point the buslucss tor Chi- vagu has to be divided among tour or five linea.

Nicety of adjust- inent where su many “Interests ate involved Is almost hinpussible, and the managers df the Weatern roads greatly prefer to rest their claiins for business on the discrimination and juag- ment of the shippers. Conyittees were na polited at the last meeting to acrange a natls- factory percentage for the various ruads, but as far as ‘can be learned nothing bas been done by these Committees. Theprobabllity now ts that the pooling arrangement of the New York trunk ines will be entirely rearranged. At the Utne the compact was entered inte the Western connections were onposed to joining a pool of that kind. Hut owing to the late deMiculties mast of them have changed their tulnd, and now they thluk a pool of all the Western roads under which the disastrous com- petition of former years will vease, and the rates toalkthe points can be maintained, will be an excellent thing. Its vrobable, therefore, that tu-morrow’s necting will adjourn without tak- ing any actiun, aud another meeting will be called to sce whether a pooling arrangement. cannot bo thade which will include all the Jette connections of the New York trunk nes.
