Noyes, Walter Chadwick. American railroad rates. [**]$1.50. Little.
The author deals with the subject of freight rates rather than passenger fares, showing how rates are made, and how they should be made, examines the questions of classification and discrimination, considers the effect of free competition on the one hand and consolidation on the other, shows the movement of rates for the last forty years, and compares American rates with those of foreign countries.
