NEW YORK, April 16.-The attitude of
Jay Gould towards the Western traffic

on his way back from Chicago. A member
of the firm to whom the rumor of the
abandonment of the Western association
was mentioned remarked that the rumOr
could not be confirmed and declined TO say
anything further. Another man, SAX. to
have been in direct connection with Gould
interests said he thought Gould and his
friends We're simply playing a little dip

pose to abandon the Western association it
was well known that it did not come up
to his expectations and it was simply Il
stepping stone for something else in the

The Alton Restores Rates,

Information was received in the city yes
terday TO the effect that the Chicago and
Alton would not put its cut rate on Texas
business into effect on the 18th inst, but
would maintain the old tariff and accept its
divisions as formerly. The Alton did not
succeed in bluf1ing the Texas lines, and rail
road men say it saw veay plainly that it
was either straight tariff or no business.
This was q case where the lines could con-
troll their tonnage northhound. as agents
would have been instructed to bill all ship
mentS via other lines or not receive them.
and the agents at Kansas City would have
been notified TO receive no business from
the Alton. That road soon saw its hands
were tied and acted accordingly.
