A SBATISFACTORY REDUCTION. At the late managers’ meoting In this city, whon new frejght ratcs to tho East wero estab- 1ished, thero was quite a lively contest regard- 1ng tho rates on heel, pork, pork-prodacts, malt, greon hides, and mill-products. The rates on theso nrticles had been tho ssme ns lgn!n rotes, and the managers of the Lake Shore lchizgan Bouthern and the Michigan Contral Rallroads Ingisted that thoy should be made the samo agaln, namely, 25 conta per 100 Irom Chicago to New York, but_the manngers of the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayno & Chicogo, Baltimors & Ohlo, and other ~ roads, insistcd that the rates on thesa artlcles should bhe made five cents higher than graln, and flnnlll‘v the Jatter roads ‘carzied their point, dh_conditl ever, that If these rates should not. prove satis- factory they should bo reduced on the 8th of Avpril.” Of coursc the rates did not prove satis- factory, the shippers not liking the discriming- tlon at nll. * Yeateruay morning It was learucd that the Lake Bhore & Michizan Southern re- fused to abide by the agreemncnt any longer, and inaisted on ‘inaking the rates on the above- mentloned articles the aame as on grain, Under these clreumstances the other routes had no other alternative than to follow suit, In order to come to a peaceabld understanding regarding this. matter n meeting of the (ieneral Frelght Agonts of all the lines leading East from this citywas hicld yestenday afternoon at the office of the Pittsbure, Fort Wayne & Chlcago Rallrond, and it was decided to reduce the following- namcd articles from fourth class to speclal class, making them the sams rate as graln by ol roads and iines lcwlnrnut from this city: Box and barrel incats, lard, tallow, stearing, green hides, fertilizers, ofl-cake, and mill-foed. ‘This fixes tho rates on these articles on n boaia of 25 cents ‘)er 100 pounds to New York, 28 cents to Philadelplia, 23 cents to Baltimore, ond 18 cants to l'ittaburg and Buffale.

River polnts held o macting yesterday at tho Commlssionor’s of- fico at tha Grand Paclfic t{otel to sec what steps had best betaken to prevest a further cut- tiog of the rates to those poluts. Owing to the dissolution of the Mixsourl River pool there has been considerable com- petition for the Missourt River busincss, cspecially between the Chicago & 8t. Louis ronds, aud in comscquence the rates have dropped down to rather unromunerative flzures, Grain from Missourl River points to Chicago s now taken at from threo to fivo cents less than tariff rates, and tho reduction on other articles {8 still more marked, Lumberefor cxamplo hins dropped from 862,40 per car ta £43.20 per car from Chlcago to Kansas City, and the same rates are being made I‘y the Wabash and 8t.

Spectal Dispateh to The Tridune. New Yonx, April 8.—Somo days slnce the Trunk-Lino managers fssuod an order that frolght nos shipped at owners’ risk should be roted ono class higher and charged for nccord- fogly. 8o uch opposition hos developed that theidca of enforcing It has been abandoned, at lcast for the present, Merchants understood tha order to mean that the trunk lacs were en- deavorlug to compel every shipper to pay an cxtra rata for all articles ablpped, or else agres not to demand damnges In case tho goods wero destroyed in trauait. Whils morchauts were nunog:d by the notlce, thoy didn't licyo tho rsllroads could, by adopting such a plan, escape llability. Hay- iug heard that the new order was severely con- demned by shippers, Commisaloner Fink (asued au explanatory circular, atatlog that the order was meant merely to simplify tho Issue of bills of fog; that "t mistake to supposc there was any intentlon on the part of the Trunk-Line managers to escapo responsibliity or extort proflt by trivks, It was a plan for the convenionca of shippers rather than anythiog clse, but there scemcd to bo some doubt, and the Comnlttes bad docided to allow the scncdule to remaln as it is.
