Yet thoy got the husincas all tho samo, and thelr rivat lines, which wers not thus fivorably situated, had to suffer.

Tho Enstern trunk linea do wiot suffer from the competition of the Iake and river routes Asdo the Westorn lines, aod for this rensun thoy can affurd to have the ratl-rates matntnined at tho bizhest possiblo tigures, cepocially ns the Linstern trunk lines got 8 largo shuro uf tho ke business nt Inke ports, nnd tho higher tho rall rates are tho larger is thelr propurtion vn tho business thoy get from the water-rouites, The Western lines will got little or nu business with the Iitke and river competition i full blast, and consequently thoy must bavo rates that will enable .thom to compets during the summer with tho lukes and rivers or they will bo driven 1o tho wall In the ond. ‘They have thus far re.
