THRE NEW YORK BOARD OF TRANS- PORTATION, The New York Tridune has the following me- count of the annttal meeting of the Honrd of Trade and Transportation of New York, held fa that city fast Friday: The Exccutlve Commitice in Its report re- ferred to the success of its efforts to hays the Beit Line used for the transportation of freight, aud regretted that, with the exception of the Wiite Star Line, no connectlonwitt the plors had been inagle, which (ndicated that the asser- tion of the rafiroada that the lack of this pris)- lege was one vause of their discrimination lo rates in favor of uther citles was only & pre. text. Arguments with committees from other eummercial bodles In an effort to cstablish rates and classifications so Lhat New York might bs permanently placed on an cquality with other scaboard citfes, it was claimed, had proved of noavall. The Commiltee doea not feel dis- couraged, however, because of the defest of the Rollway Commissiouers bill {n the feems- lature year sfter year, und Intends to present another blll tnis winter. ¥, B, Thurber, of the Committee on Raflway ‘Transportation, presented a revart. (n the question of the bills now hefore Congress to requlate futer-Staty commnerce, It was stated that while Becs. 1and 2, whivh provido thot freight shall not be carricd cheaper fur oue shivper than another under lise clreumstances, arg fuir and desirable, they do nwot go far enough, because & shipper sending nine car- loads of freleht tmight be compelled to pay doable the rate charzed & shipper rendine ten car-londs, becauss tho services were not ¢ like." It would be Yest that there should be o stand- ard of quality established. Bee, 8, which pro- hibits combinations or pooling of freigils, the Committee believes will be apposed by thie rall- roads and atl persons who have invested in rail- road sccurities ou the present Inflated basis, It suya that the wisdom ol Jee, 4, that *“moroshail not be charzed for transpurting fur s shorter than for s lunEzr distence,” is disputed by railroad men and by many merchants, who allege that In some cascs Lhis vrovision would prevent the mnrlmlln% of surplus products waich must necessarily bo cearrled at a low rate, ‘The publication or postiug of rates and faics, as provided in Sec. §, I8 duclared desirable, aud une that ean e objected to only by those who seek to evada the provisions of the Inw coticerns ing equality, Two illustrations were given to shiow the necessity of the passaze of the bill pro- poged.

B, Thurber's resolutions on’ the sugar tardl, said there secmed to be sumo well organized effort to breuk up tho sugar-reflulng interest of the coun- try; and that a great deal of unfolr publicity and excitement had been esused. The resolutions declared that tho nuestion of 8 change In the tariff on sugzar, now pendivg in Congress, should be settied on its nferlts, without retesence to the charges of froud and slulteration which futerested persous lave sougnt to connect with it, each of which should be fuvestf- gated and decided Independently; that the ad- inisslon of hizh grude sugars ut the samne rata of duty os low grades would be unust to an Ameriean ndustry extensively emploving both labor and capital; that Couzresa should fix o rate aceording Lo value, or tuke off all dutles on sugar, A resolution of thaoks to W.
