Show Freights. New York, 5. The railroad and1 Paeific Mail matttrs are in statu qua. pending tbe meeting ot the Pacific Mail directors to-morrow, when it is, expected they will announce their, future programme. From a canvass; to day it is probable that tho Miil company will at once enter the field for freight, regardles of the Pacific roads or any contract, and will carry all the goods Ihey can at a fair rate. They have already been ofkred all the dead weight they Will require for the next five Etsamers Irom one shipper alone, and there is no doubt but that they will meet with encouragement from thoso classes ol shipper?, particularly those from whom the PaciGc roadB have at tempted to extort a double rate, at a time when they thought they would be obliged to succumb. It in also intimated that the Mail company wil put on a weekly line ol steamers, and will do all in their power to accom mndato shippers, if the latter, in turn will guarantee to ship all their freight I by them. |
