The earnings Of the Western railroads for April are
not very encouraging far received Tae first week
on the Gaena Road 10 $2l GOO which is about equal
to 500 900 for the month sgsnst sl40 900 last year.
The first week on the Road givss$, 200,
but the succeeding days we're better. Toe Rock Isl-
ard earnings are also small. The receipts Of grain
at Cbcsgo appear to have almost csaed. Onihe Roads
connecting with the West the competition has brought
rates of freight to post psypg little or no profit to
the roads We hear Of contrasts at 25c per cwt. from
New-York to Chicago via the Central Road, and the
River, for fourth class freight, and cattle from
Buffalo at s55 per car Contracts are offered
via the Allentown Road when completed, az
low as 81 per head from Chicago to this
City, equal to $50 per car for the whole distance.
At such prices these the stockholders Of the rail-
roads suffering from this competition for the Western
business will look in vain for dividenes upon thsc
Investments To addition to the competition for the
Western business which the New-York roads havs
had TO contend with from Baltimore and Philsdephis,
the new and 81 orter route from the West directly to
this city via Allentown and the New Jersey Central
Read, must now be met The Allentown link, which
cou plstes the line, vl be finished and opened on the
2st April, and will constitute unbroksn gauge be-
tween Chicago and this city, ssvsntyfvs miles shorter
than any other line. Tns route will be strong COM
