From Chicago, says the News, it is
reported that secret negotattions
have been going on for the past ten
days between the transcontinental
roads and the Canadian Pacific to
bring about a cessation of the rival
ry for Pacific coastjbusinesswhich has
forced rates down to so low a point
These have progressed far enough to
demonstrate that the foreign road is
willing, providing it is allowed, on
oocount of its circuitous route, to
oharge 10 per cent, less on through
freight than the American roads.
There is a strong probability that,
if better terms cannot be made, this
will be accepted. This would re
sult in a general advance in freight
rates to and from the Pacific coast
points .
