new railroad company wanted to secure part OF the

RUMoRs OF RArEcUTTING WEST OF CHICAGO

RUMORS OF RATE-CUTTING WEST OF CHICAOO.
Runors Of rate cutting now the principal items
Of interest the westbOund railroad offices IN Broad
way They werc pretty plentiful yesterday but TO
one appeared willing to vouch for their accuracy IL
was an indication OF conservatism that the roads did not
act upon these stories and cut rates Al the different
Offices the rate situation reported to be unchanged
with traffic light by lake and rail Nevertheless, there
IS no great expectation Of an early improvement in
tariffs some OF the agents think that the situation
Will remain about as Il Is until fall. Others contem-
pate the possibility Of outbreak as severe as that
raging out OF Chicago, which by radical reductions will
the sooner bring eontendng companies to agree
mcnt
One rumor seriously disturbed the Street. IL was
that some OF the roads west Of Chicago had begun cut
ting heavily on freight rates to Missouri River points
Tho rate on frst-class freight by rail and laSe to
Chicago IS 30 cents per 100 pounds the rate from
Chicago 10 the Missouri River Is 81 cents making
total through rate OF OF cents Some extravagant re-
auctions from this figure talked OF, but they were
not credited. IL suspected, however that somo
line had quoted a rate OF so cents TO tho Missouri
River cut of cents under the existing rate. II was
generally assumed that at least cents OF this cut would
lilo with the roads OF Chicago. II these cuts are
proved 10 be correct they may start afrfSh tbs COM
