We refer to the notice Issued by the Eastern Extension and Great Northern Companies a few days ago in ́which considerable increase in the tariff is announced," the reasons given therefor being attri buted to "the continued depreciation of silver and the fact that the Companies out-payments to other Telegraph Ad- ministrations for further transmission of telegrams beyond their own systems in fore been found necessary to charge, since the East are fixed in gold."
