Of Interest to the Pacific Coast.

NEW YORK, March 2O.-It is stated here
that the Pacific Mail Company contemplates
reducing the fare from here to San Francis
CO to $75. This will be reduction of $50
from the present rate. Also that freight

is reported to be dir .ctea against the Union

that the Pacific Mail intended putting on
weekly steamers, in place of fortnightly
steamers. Another report is that the Cen
trail Pacific to-day formally notified the
Union Pacific that they would hereafter de-
mand full local rates on all through business
from the Union Pacific.
