CUT IN FREIGHT RATES.
Big Reduction in the Tariff for
Grain Bags.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27.-General
Freight Agent A. d. Shepard has an
nounced that the Southern Pacific Com
pany will reduce the freight rate on
grain bags from San Francisco to Dem
yer. The present rate is % 2-10 cents
per 100 pounds, and the new rate will
be 421la cents.
This rate will be the same as that now
in effect from New Orleans to Denver
The rate formerly from here to Denver
was 80 cents, and from New Orleans
to Denver % 2-10 cents.
When the Southern Pacific Company
announced their intention some time
ago that they would reduce their rate
to meet the 90 2-10c rate of the initial
lines at New Orleans, the latter threat
ened to make a further cut to 42la
cents, and both reductions were con-
summated. Now the Southern Pacific
will put in effect the 42i:s cent rate to
Denver as soon as the legal details of
notification to the Interstate Commerce
Commissioners can be complied with.
