CoM13810N MERCIANT, RAILROADS, THE NEW YORK MEETING. The New York T'ridune has the following in regard to tho Iate meeting of the trunk.line Prestdents at New York: The result of the mecting of the Presidents of the trunk lines 8t the Brevoort House, this week, was the subject of general comment among rai- road men and merchants yesterday, A copy of the dispatch eent by Mr, Uatrett to Mr, Hickson on Wednealny afternoon, proposing to leave the nestions in divpute between the Grand Trunk sia ermont Central and the New Yurk Central to Mr. Fink for arolteation, was eent lo tiregory Smith, Presldent of the Vermont Central. ilis reply was similar to that of Mr. Hickson.

They claimea that they shonld have been permitted foshipat rates us low as those from Boston, llrtcll" ns the reduction from Uoston was made at the instigation ©f une of tho trnnk lines, A nuinver of merchanta and some raliroad officials said that the statement of the situation made in Mr. Hickeon's letter pul llelied in Tuesday's Tribune wasa frank, 1mpa; \ial, and able deserlption of the dilliculties between the Grand Trunk and the New York Uentral, Upan further inquiy it appears that tne diflcal. tles between the Western railroads have not yet been scttled. The Presldents agreed on Wednes- day night 0 a scheme, which provides for tho up- pointment of an executive committee consisting of » reoresentstive from each of the four trunk lines, whicn shall act as an advisory commlitee in us- sisting Commissioner Fink in'the dlschacge of his dnties.
