J. H. WiLson, Ttccelver and Gencral Munoger, TIE MISSOURT IIVRIL WAR. Information was recelved hero yesterday that the 8t. Louls roads have made another reduc- tion {n rates from Bt. Louls to Missourl River points, 'The new rates arc a8 fullows: First, sccond, and third class, 10 cents per 100 pounae; fourth and speclal classes, Ove cents. The Chi- eago roxls do not mean to follow this reduc- tlon, a8 the old rates arcsuch that 8t. Louls cannot exact its regular difference unless it reduces the ratcs on sumo classea below noth- jog. The Chicago rates arc: First and, sceond class, 19 cents; third class, 15 cents; and fourth and spectal classes, 10 cents. ‘Tho managers of the Chlcazo roads sny it docs not matler what rates the 8t Louls = roads now make, 88 at tho nbove they get all the business they want. The grain-rates from Misours River points to Chicago re- main at seven cents per 100 pounds, and the . shippers aro taking such advantage of theso low ratea that tho rallroads canuot suppls enough cars, ond for this reason an lucrease may become necessary, The grain-ratc from Missouri River poluts’ to St. Louls is sald to bo elght cents, and very littie is goina that way. Tho 8t. Louls roads evidently have now reachied bottom rates, and the fight will have to remain in the vresent status until one slde or the other begins to weaken. That Chicago will not weaken first, is a foregone conclusion, DISTURDED PASIENOER RATES, There is conslderable danger of u new fight {n reqard to the passenger business to the East.

Petersburg have resorted to semi-ofticlal futercourse secms to Indicate that ofiiclal cxpresslons would ouly have Intensficd thelr differences. The result of the interchango of views 1s not hopeful, Russia substantlally repeating her former answer, and England realllrming the priuciple originally lald down, DENIED. The reports of an Austro-Russian agree- ment, under pressure from DBlsmarck on the former, is denled by Count Androssy’s friends, who declaro that Blsmarck's attitudens between Austria and Russia has been one of entire neutrality, he well uunderstanding that Austria urged tho minfmum, not muximum, of lier objections against the treaty of Sau Stefa. 10, and that tho margin for mediation fa ex- cecdingly narrow. 5 CONTRADICTED, All reports about Russia having sent a reply to Austria’s objections are contraafeted from tha samo source, Inother circles in Vienna it ts statod that the Emperor and military party arc stronger than Count Andrassy, and will not support his anti-Rusalan policy. A CONTINGENCY, Among largo classes of Austrians a belief ls snid to prevall that Austela has nothing sub~ stautial to palu by either peaco or war, because Hungary would resist annexation of the Slav countrles, but that action will be forced on the monarchy if tho Russlans attempt to disarm or oceupy Roumania, CONFIRMED, Blsmarck's reported answer to Bratiano, the Roumanian Primo Mintster, s con- firmed by o stotement In the Nord Deutsch Zeltung, of Derlin, as follows: “Dra- tlano must have known before his arrival here tbat Qermauy is not disposcd to subordinate ber own relations to Rusafa to a regard for the wishes of Roumanls inthe Bessarubian ques- tlon which does not touch German futerests,” STRAINED, Pro-Russlan advices from Constantinoplo say the situation 15 strained to the utinost; that the Grand Duke Nichotas {s much depressed, and that the fmpression prevalls that affalrs are surely driftiog to war.

It Austria is neutral the Russians will undoubt- edly sclze the Bosphorus. If Austrla should prove to be hostile, it fs doubtful whether the Russans will try to hold the Bos- pliorus or anythiog south of Adrianople.

The acrcago sown may be taken at about the aversge, while o somewhat larger breadth than usual has been put under spring corn. The supplies of English wheat hiave been moderato in London and the wvrincipal country markets.
