THE GRAND-TRUNK BOOM, All tho roads tending cast from this clty, with tho exception of the Grand Trunk and Michigan Central, continne to do a very light business, and the Michigan Central would not do as well but forthe fact thata Iurgo proportion of the traffic It now carrlea goes via tho Grand Trunk, But besides what tho Grand Trunk fs doing by way of tho Michigan ‘Contral, the business which {t alrendy does over the new Uno from thiselty direct has alrendy assumed large pro- portions, The now rond Is now taking out front fourto five trains a day, mostly grain, and is. bringing on tho nvernge two traing with mot ehundlse from the Eastern seaboard.

[tis hinily provahlo'that the trunk fmes will oblize the Grand Trunk by keeping up the present proseriptive rates, nnd thus, enable it to imuke eavy profts on the business it docs, An effort wil no doubt be mute nt tho meeting of the “High Jolnite” in this clty next woole to Induce tho Urand Trunk. to Join the poo), in order to keep up tho present stato of alfalrs. ‘There 14 but Hetlo probability, however, that such an are rangement can perfected, Not that. the Grand Trunk would be unwilling to fot thes trunk lines under any coustdcration, tut be- cuuse the Grand ‘Trunk under existing clreum- stances, and knowing its udvantiges, will ask n much higher pereenuyse than the trunk Ines will bo willing to grant.
