A private dispateh received by a raflrond mane anger here yestentay from New York glves tho information that at the meeting of the “ High Joints" in Now York yestertny tho recent re- ports that tho Grand Trunk and Vermont Cen- tral Nallronds had been cutting rites on export business to Boston and Portland: were taken into consideration and the matter investigated. Itla claimed in the disputch that lt was proven that those roads had really been eutting tho rates.. The way they succeeded In doing this was by boaring tho expenses for terminal obarges at those points instead of chargiug them to the shippers, us fs done by othor Kaut- ern lines; thut {s, they charged tho rogulur tariff mites, but did not include tho terminul charges, which ia virtually a cut of from fivetoten cents a bushel, It 1s also stated In the dispateh that the Grand Trunk aud Vermont Central promised to try no morofsuch tricks in the future, and thereupon they wore forgiven for their pnst misdeeds, ‘Tho Grand Trunk ulliclals here deny that thoy made any spectul contracts with shippers here, and the immenso business ‘thelr rond has been doing the Inst two weeks was entirely due to 4 proferenco for thelr road on the part of tho shippers. Howeveg, that may be, the Grand Trunk during tho last few weeks hasbeen doing an immenso export business vin Portland and Boston. While all other Eustern routes have- thelr yards full of {div cars and can yet no busl- ness for them, this Hne hus been taxed to moro thin {ts capuelly. The Immense business the Grand Trunk route hasbeen doing lately ean best be'ho seen by the stutement showing the atate of the pooling percentaxes of tho vari- ous ronds of Jin, 19, which Js us follows: Mlchl- gan Centril, #141 tous over; Fort Wayne, 3.201 tons over; Lake Shore, 10,793 tons short; Pan Mandle, s0i tons short; ‘and Baltimora & Obio, 1 tans short. ‘The Michigan Central, which gets the Grand Trunk bualness from this city, ong month hee was short nenrly 6,000 tong; now it fs nhend 0141 tons, a rhowing that must certainly be unpiens- ant to the other rouds, who havo ull fallen con-* siderably behind in’ that time, espeehuly tho Lako Shore & Michigan Southern, which has as ran) New Englund conncetions 1s the Mictigan ‘central and Grand ‘Trunk. While it fs probable that tho Grand ‘Trunk hag given epcciul induee- ments to shippers, ns Indicated In the above dis- uiteh, yet the papulur fuvor shown the Grand ‘unk ennnot be due to that fact alone. It rather looks as if tho shippers discriminate fn fuvor of this route tu brenk the present high rates so stubbornly maintained by tho Eustern: combination, and to give the Eastern jnagpated 0 forctuste of what will bo done when tho Grand ‘Trunk runs into this city over ita own tine. In spito of tho action reported to have been taken by the "High Joints,” the Grand Trunt contln- ues todo a boumning business, and yesterday morning contracted for another Jarge amountot froight. If this state of things ig continued much longer the Eastern managers will be com- celled to “come down with the rates, no mutter ow “Inexpediont and inadvisable” thoy my deam It, for thoy cannot nfford to lot thelr cars Io idte while a rival line ts scooping in nearly all of the business, ‘Tho Grand Trunk Is so well gatlafled with tho pet atnto of things thot it ie not at all ina urry now to hasten the completion of its now extension to. this city, and it snow probable that tho now line will not be opened for busi- ness before the mitdlo of April. As it gots tho business anyway, It can afford to plaice the track of its now line in first-class condition and have it well balinsted and settled before attempting to do any buaiuess over it. © SSOUTITWESTERN TROUBLES, ‘Tho managers of the Mlssour!

Gouls roads should roviso {heir percentages satisfac- torily to themselves, The ale il pereentages: fre also to bo chinged when the Wabnsh bas conte ita Hue inte this city, which will be in April noxt, ‘This Ie Just what Te TRIBUNE pro- Ucted yestorday—namoly: that Jay Gould fs not ret reatly to show his hand, and will not ho until tbo Wabash has {ta own lino into this city, and that therefore a temporary ecttlement would bo tected ut this meoting. Tho St. Louis rouds will now havo a rather dit- Jcult tusk to settlo,—numely, to redivido their percentayes,—and this job will nodoubtconsuino Ul the tine botweou now and the next meeting, ind probably until the Wabash Is ready to ask 1 leo of tho Chicago percontats An effort will no doubt be mndo by tho St, Louls, Wabash & Puciflo and the Missouri Pacific to have the Al- ton poreentage from St. Louls reducod, and it 1 oot likely that the Intter, considering tho heavy business it hag been dolng tho Inst six months betweon 8t, Louls and the Sfssourl River pointe, will readily submntt to such action.
