Tho lattor Company rofuscs to reduce ita rates from this city to tho Esst at present, giving as 4 rosson that tho rates astablished by tho Baltimore & Olilo are snicidnl onoa, and it is bolter to carry no passongers at all. From ft, Loula and Cincinnatl, tho managers claim, tho chances and patrovage of the two cumpanios aro. about alike, and Lenco thoy bad to follow euit in those cities, snd if they lost money on thoso rates tho Raltimoro & Olio would logo monoy alao. But from this city tho caso is entiroly different, and the competition of the Baltimore & Ohio does not hurt thom sa much as from the above-mentioned points. Tho Company has, howover, rovokod tho order reducing tho rates froin Bt, Louis to Now York, and ro-catab- shed tho old rato, which js $27. The Peunsyl- yania Lailrond Company has done this to pre- yout the reduction of Now York rates by other Eastern linos, THE TICKET AORNTA, ‘Tho General ‘Ticket aud Passonger Agonts of all tho roads loading from this city to tho East and Weat held a mouting yosterday iorning, at tho ofiico of the pasrenger ogout of tho luck Tnlond & Pacifico Natlrond, for tho purpose of making their monthly comparisons of slicct- rates, After talking an hour cr soon tho sltua- tion, it was decided, in viow of tho oxisting dimi- culties tho unsettled atuto of affairs, to Jct woll enough alone, and not moddla with tho rates at present, Mr. Myers, tho Goneral Passongur Agent of tho Pittaburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago Mtailrond, announced that his road would, for the prosont, mike no reduction from thie city to points Enat, Bhould this road, howovor, be compelled to mako a reduction, they would reduce only to Phila- dolpiia, Baltimore, aud Washington, but wontd matotain tholr rates to Now York nt all hazards, In ylow of this statomout, tho pavsonger agents of tho Lake Shoro & Michigrn Southern and Michigan Central Railroads stated that they would tnalutaly thotr rates as long nf no reduc- tion to Now York was made by the Ponusylvanla Nallroad. As far aa the Philadelphia, Baltinoro, and Washiugton rates wero concorned, thoy did not caro muoli, an thoir trafle to thoae places was rather small, Dut it may bo that the pag songer ogents sro taking tho wrong viow of this mattor. If Philadclphia rates arc roduced on both tho Pounsylyanta and Baltimore & Ohio to $12, thon atl the Now York passongors havo to do is to buy a ticket to Philadelphin, whore they can purchage & local tickot to New York at $5.25, which will make the rato for tlio entire diutanco from hero to Now York $15.25, whild Une presont rate ia $22. It will thoroforo bo seen that aa soon og tho Ponnsylyania Rait- road Company reduces to Philadelphia nnd Dal- timoro all tho ronda lnvo to roducs thoir rates to’ Now York also. ‘Tho peopte do not care much if thoy have to rido two or three hiotirs longer if they can gave $7 on the trip, Tho main reason tho ronda aro holding back is that an oarly wet femont of thd pregont difiicultics iy confidntly oxpectod, ‘Tho roads hnvo all suffered more or less = durlug this winter, and but fow of thom aco able to follow tho Ballimoro & Ohio in such 4 larga reduction, and houco thoir oaruort desire to hava difficnltios amicably odjuated, though some concessions should havo to bo mado to the lattor road.
