It may not be gene known, but it 1s nevertheless a fact t| Boston is the sccond city in the country in the amount of its exports and imports. It is clear that anything which interfers with the freight traflic to Boston from the west is n very serious drawback to her shipping interests. All this foreign trade has been built up on the basis of equal freight es with New York from he west. The inter-state commerce urally knocks all this in the he: ces the Hub in jeopardy, both rds her foreign trade and her manu- facturing interests, since Boston and even all New England have to go outside their own boundaries for raw mater) New England produces very little that she manufactures. Her cotton, of courss comes from the south, while the midd and western states furnish a long list of vegetable and mineral materials. All this imme traflic which has hitherto come to Boston as a manufacturing and foreign-trade center, 18 naturally cut off and turned into New York, as” soon lrughi to the metropolis become cheap It is this condition of affairs which Ted the delegation of Boston merchants to wait upon the inter-state commerce commission and state their grievances. ‘The great harm which Boston would suf- fer, unless some change were made, was set forth by the delegation, some of the gentlemen even going 80 far as to st that unless relief ‘were soon given they would be uhlu_(-d to move their business to New York. This is indeed a lamenta- ble state of affairs as far as the leading ndustries of Boston are concerned, but in the eyes of the new law there is appar- ently little help for it.
