despite positive assurances TO the
contrary, II was generally hoped that
the Cabinet meeting this afternoon
would resolve ON sOme reduction In
the corn duties. II was learned this
evening that although the govern.
mcnta decisions are modified. they
are determined not 10 reduce the corn
duties until absolutely compelled TO
do 20.
The Rctchsansei0or says that In
view OF the unfavomble prospects,
owing 10 tho wet weather aud prohi-
bition OF expectation Of rye from
Russia, the government has decided,
~ nn experiment, 10 reduce freight
rates on corn aud mill cereals over
the State railways. Although this
will increase the facilities Of trans
port to the distressed provinces, their
want Il nn increased stock Of grain.
The government evidently relies on
America TO supply the deficiency,
but tho public, and especially
the workingmen, ARE not ~ easily sat
isfled ~ 10 that. The radical press
dwell on the probabilities that the corn
nyndlcates of America are no. likely
20 show much consideration 10 Ger
many " by Withholding their grain
they can enforce the markets and 30
get their own price. Letters from
Vienna also indicate that the Ausiri-
ans are not disposed TO sacrifice busi-
ness profits 10 mere sentiment.
The Socialists are taking the fullest
advantage Of the gloomy situation 10
actively push their propaganda.
