WABASH CUTS GRAIN RATES.
Missouri River-Toledo Tariff Is to APP.
ply on Shipments Via Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-The Wabash
road announced a tariff effective in
thirty days applying the Missouri
river-Toledo rates on grain via Chi
cago. Local traffic officials of eastern
roads say they are unable to fathom
the reason for this step by the Wa
bash and declare they will take no no.
tice of the cut rate. The assumption,
however, is that the Wabash, with its
own connections in the west, has de.
cided to take care of the heavy grain
buying at Omaha and st. Louis which
followed the settlement Of the recent
war on proportional rates between
the Missouri river and St. Louis.
