GOULD, A prominent ratlway official, who has just returned from New York, states that tho raflroad men In that clty took but littlestock inthe nuinerous coinbination and cousolida: tlon rumors that have Inicly disturbed tho financial world, But two of the schemes, he gays, are believed to be genuine, and will shortly be carried out, One fythe consollda- tion of the Atchison, ‘Topeka & Santa Fé with the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney, and tho other tho consolidation of the New York Central with the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, ‘The consolidation of the former lines is dictated by the aggressive policy Intely pursued by Jay Gould, and his forma- tion of a rival company to the Moxlean Cen- tral through Mexico; and the latter schome Vanderbilt finds necessary to prevent Juy Gould from wielding too great on tn- fluence in the New York Central, of which he and his syndicate hold over $30,000,000 of stock, and also to nyoid onerous legisintion against the New York Central by the New_York Legislature. It is not believed In Now York that Vander- bilt really means to nuke any opposition to Gould Inthe West, It is, however, under- stood that he started the rumor of his inten- tion foot the Burlington nnd Atebison & Santa Fé interests, and talked about securing control of the Union and Central Pacitie Roads, simply for the purpose of searing Gould and forcing him into an arrangement by which he (Vanderbiit) will control the business enst of Chiengo and ‘Toledo, on con- dition that he will let Gould bave undia- puted sway in the West. It is claimed that ould has lately beetia heavy purchaser of New York Central,—which created the im- ression that he meant to force Vander- Hit ultimately froin «the control of that “road. — Vanderbilt, to avoid such calamity, prouases now 10 consolidate the New York Central with the Lake Shore, of whieh ha hole nearly all the steck, and which will have the effect of ‘greatl strengthening hls hold on tho Now Yor! Central. [t ly also stated that Gould has bean buying freely of Michigan Central dur- ing the fast few months, and that Vanderbilt stands in danger of losing contro! of that roperty Vor this rengun it ly stated that wnderbilt has decided upon tha building of tho Michigan Southern extension froin Tole ‘a to Mlehlgan City and the extension of the old Chicago & Canada Southern to Chicago. Theso Unes, of course, Vanderbilt would build if Gould actually secured control of the Michigan Central: but he evidently be- Heves that by making these feints Gould will rellnquish his designs on tho Michigan Cen- tral aud Now York Central and contine his opurations to the West and Southwest. —— SOUTHERN BUSINESS, Tho meeting of Gencral Frelglt Agents and othors interested In thy “Green Line” — a fast freight ine running betweon this city and Southern polnts—held at Cincinnati Thursday was devold of any results, As already stated tho meeting was held for tho purposo of discussing the advisnbility of allowing tha- Baltimore & Olio Railroad to take all the business from this point for South-Atinutic points, as that Company has steamers running to these points, and, there- fore, 13 able todo the business at more re- munerative rates than the lines running to those polnts by tho all-rail routes, espechully as the latter are greatly embarraysed for the wantof cars, Atter discussing the matter fully at the Cincitnat! meeting, the * Green Line" representatives tame 8 con- clusion that it would be an unwise move to throw away that business be- enuse somo of the roads aro temporarily embarrassed. It wos argued that before long these ronds might have plenty of cars thut thay could uso for that business, snd they could then not well rescind the action Riv ing the business to the Baltimore & Ohio, The conclusion, therefore, was to let well enough alone, und take no action in the mat- tor. ‘The roads that are suffering could tome porarily Ko out of that business and take lt ‘up agaln ns soon as they were able'to do so.
