Rail and River Notes.

The Chicago & Northwestern and Milwaukee
y st. Paul roads have notified the various
roads running out Of Chicago to points in the
Middle and Western states territory, that
they will hereafter insist upon an arbitrary
rate on grain and its products from Milwau-
kee to Chicago destined to points in the Mid
die and western states. The cause assigned
for this action by the above-named roads Is
that rates to points East from Chicago have
been and are still so demoralized that they
have been losing money by accepting their
regular percentages division, and they do not
mean to stand this any longer.

Paul s. Minneapolis Passenger association,

forty-five DAYS, S44; Suspension Bridge and
return, limited to forty-five days, S44; To
ronto and return, limited to forty-five DAYS,
S44. This circular void after June 1. Rates
as given in current association rate sheet will
then govern.
