PHE CHICAGO. TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, APRIL fo— ) 188I—IWENTY-FGUR ¥AGES. DRY COODS. DRESSES AND GARMENTS, . THE RAILROADS. Lower Rates Followed by an In® crease in Eastern Freights. i e The Increment Due to Grain— Provisions Show a De- crease. Discrimination of the Southwestern Pool Against Chicago. The Railroad Pool at New York Pats Rates Back Again, EAST-BOUND FREIGHT BUSINESS. The reduction of grain rates to the East April 1, and again April 11, has hud the ef- fect of stimulating this business to such an extent as to prove the corrcctuess of the arguments heretofore made, that low rates do not neces: imply reduced earnisgs, but the sailroads make up for what they lose on rates in increased tonmage. ‘The increvse in east-bound grain shivments during the ast week when the 25-cent rate first ap- plicd nmounts to no less than 16,822 tons. The total grain shipments for the week previous ouly amounted ta*25,539 tons. This should teach the Eastern roads the lesson tha to their irterest to wmaintain aslow freight rates - as possible, . us they make 1wmore money by pursuinz such a 00“3'50 than'by mainiaining high and proscrptive sates. The present grain rates on the basis »f25 cents per 100 pounds, Chicago o New York, are 5 cents lower than the lowest cate that prevailed at any time during last summer. 1t is quite certain that no advance #ill be made again during the sunuuer, while asiill further reduction may hecome pecessary. It is generally couceded thata 5cent rate on grain is not too high during 3hie summer season, and will give the rail- zoads a fair proportion of the business going East, no matter how energetic the lake com- etition may beconie, yet the temper among Eue varfous roads is such that the least biov- fizht that will bring Every ner peation may bringon a 3 rates down 10 unprotitable figures._ effort is being made by Comi Fink and the trunk line Presidents jo fix up _ the difliculties - that ihreaten the turther existence of the Eastern poo), but it1s not by any means certain that they will succeed. It is understood that a meeting_of the trunk line Presidents was held in New York yesterday for the pur- hose of considering means by which the Eastern pooling arringement can be made 1nore effective and a furtlier reduction in rates De avoided. In Mr. Fink’s opinion there is but one way by which pooling arrangements ean be made effective and undue competition between the various lines stopped, and this is by not only pooling the business from the Western terminal points, but also from the various Eastern gateways, wiere the busi- ness has 1o be redivided amons other road To do this, however. will be no easy job, new lines are being continually formed, i and some of these are unwilling . 10 join in any such an arrangement, on the ground that without competition the older trunk lines would get the cream of the bu . ness, while only the skim milk would be for them. The most dangerous among tho: lines are those now beiny formed by Jav Gould. Mr Gould is only in favor of pool- ing as long as he has not suflicient power to control the business. He has never vet naintaiued a pooling arranzement any long erthan was necessary to protect his inter- ests. * The trunk line Presidents were also to con- sider at their meetingz yesterday whatis to Dbe done in regard to a réduction in provision rates. The rule has always been observed that provision rates should be but five cents higher than grain rates. When the last reduction in grain rates was made there was no corresponding re- ion rates, thus maxing the difference between provision and grain rates 10 cents. Whenever this was the ditference it has been found that it worked badly., and it could never be upheld. The same difficulty isagain experienced. and provision shippers clamor for a reduction of five cents in pro- vision rates. While giain shipments have almost doubled during the past week, pro- vision shipments have dwindled down 10 al- ing. and all the lines leading from this city combined carried only Tons, which is less than_any one of the lead- jng lines used to carry alone less than a wonth ago. Some of the railroad officials claim that the rates have nothing to do with the present light provision shipments, be- cause there is no demand for provisions in the East, yet it is quite certain that if pro- ~vision rates are made to correspond with grain rates shipments will double at once. The total shipments of grain, flour, and provisions by all the Eastern lines for the week ending April 16 amounted to 60.063 tons, against 45,697 tons for the week pre- vious, an incsease of 11,371 tons, all of which is due to the increase in gra ship- ments, the flour and provision shipments showing a decided decrease.

Myers, who for so many years has ably and efliciently presided over the Passenger and Ticket Department of the Pennsylvania Company, but relinquished his position on the first of this month to spend a few years in Europe to regain his former , vigorand health, started for the East last 1 evening on lus way to Europe. Previous to + his departure yesterday afternoon his former - employés and colaborers surprised him in the : office of Assistant General Surperintendent Gorham, and presented him with a heavy . gold chain aud valuable locket as a token of their regard and friendship. Mr. Myers was entirely unaware of what was in store for him when the gentlemen filed into Alr. Gor- hawm’sotliceuntil Mr.George Willard, altorney for the Pennsylvania Company, arose from his seat, and spoke of the kind feelings which Mr. Myers’ former employers enter- 1ained for hin ey had become aware that hie was 1o depart, after years of weary lavor, to secure rest, and they were unwill- ing that he should go without some to- ken to remind him of their decp love and friendship. There were few who had per- formed so onerous duties for so many yedrs and still kept the love and esteem of all who had been under him. lle then presented him with the beautiful token in a neat vel- vet casket. Gen. Myers was_overcome with emotion, and with tears in his eyes expressed his deep sense of gratitude at this unexpected show of friendship. Ilesaid he had always been proud of his boys, but for whose faithful- ness and valvable assistance he could never haveaccomplished what he did. . The present was accompanied by the fol- lowing wemorial from the donors: CHICAGG. April 16—F. k.

April 16.—The merchants of ¢ Chicago do not seem to. be aware of the fact ‘¢ {hat they are and have been swindled out of millions of dollars’ worth of trade during the ast year, or since the formation of the vill- ainous pool cowbination to allSouthwestern points. 'The shippers of first, second. third, and fourtn class freights to all Missourl River towns and points Wwest of - there have to -pay from ten to thirty cents wmore per 100 pounds, accordinz to classification, _than _from St Louis. For mstance, from Chicago to all Missouri- tiver towns the rate ou second class is 70 cents in less tnau car-lots, and from St Louis 50 cents! We have now In our possession two ex- pense bills of oods shipped in March last to a party in Council Bluft , where halt the quantity from Chica t *more than double the amount from P second- elass freights or, in other words, the rate from Peoria is 30 cents and from Chicago 0 cents—i0 cents per 100 pounds in favor of Peoria awainst Chieago. s this justice to N \fter atl_ her liberality to railroads 2 She has nitted them to from all directions almost to the business centre, and now we find she is Jeft out, compared with St. Louis and Peoria, as a one-horse station, whereas in the past twenty years she has_been of more Value as a shipping point to all railroads ceu- tering here than St. Louis, Peoria, and all intermediate points combined. Can anything be done, or are the mer- chants of Chicago generally aware of this uujust discrimination against her interests, or must they tamely submit toit? The time was when all roads running west or southwest from Chicazo carried all classes of freight, and were glad to get it at the SAME T as from St. Louis, but when they entered into the pool combination they v tually sold Chieago out, and usaconsequence have driven a large trade away .from Ler which it will be hard for her to ever get back aguin. Get St Louis tarifls and clas tion points named and you will find lots of legitimate matter which Chicazo merchants wiil be thankful to you to ventilate. T.1L Chieao, in the past enter her city MINNEAPPOLIS & ST. LOGIS. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. St. Pavr, Minn., April 16.—The Minne- apolis & St. Louis Railway Company -expect to very materially extend their lines this sea- son by the construction of 175 miles of new road. In preparation for the proposed ex- tension the Hon. W D. Washburn, President of the Company, states that he has already purchased 10,000 tons of iron rhils, allof which will arrive as rapidly “as they are needed in the work of construction. Of the projectéd extensions, 125 t0240 miles willbeon the new line via Excelsior and Lake Minne- tonka, with the westerly bouadary lin otthe State as its objective point. ‘The preeise local- ity has not pet been named, but the line will penetrate the great wheat belt. This line will cross the Hastings & Dakota at or near Norwood, and the Minnesota River near Beaver Falls or Hedwood Falls, vrobably. “I'he line is_ not definitly loeated beyoud the river, and ithas not yetbeen decided whether it will cross the Winena & St. Peter-at Mar- shalltown or notth of that poiut. This line will be faid with steel ra ‘he grades are easy, and it will be firs in every re- speet. The Towaline south from Fort Dodze will also be extended forty or fifty miles from its present terminus, with a view to reaching additional coal-fields. ‘Thirty miles of this last-named extension are already un- der contraet to Messrs. Henry & Bateh, and will be completed by the 1st of August: Messrs. Henry & Bateh have also taken a contract for constructing 100 miles of the ex- tension toward the westerly line of the State, which they will have fully completed early in September. ‘The balance of the proposed work is not yet under contract, but soon will be, and the ¢ntire work will be finished and ;xl;e cars runnmg thereon before the snow. AGATIN OPEN TO TRAINS. Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune. St. Pavr, Minn,, April 16.—At 2 o'clock this afternoon the snow-shovelers on the line of the Sioux City Road completed their work. At that hour the track was clear of ice and snow from St. Paul to Sioux City. Soon aft- erwards a train left the latter place and made connections with No. 4; that had been de- layed there since two weeks ago Friday. The $:40 train that left St. Paul yesterday afternoon was ordered to lay over at St James last night, but will . go through to Sioux City to-day. The road ofticials will first wove fuel and provisions in preference to any other freizht, which will consume several da; time. While this is being done on the main tracks, the snow-shovelers will be at work upon sidings that are stiil under the snow and ice. Probably the line will not be ready to move heavy freights with alac- rity and dispateh for a week or ten days, as muich waork is to be done yet in finishing up. Nonight passenger-trains will run beyond St. James for a few days. The road has qeen closed practically all the time since the 1sv of February. E TP AGAIN. NEw Yorg, April 16.—The Presidents of the trunk lines and representatives of the principal Western railways, forming a ma- jusity of the Joint Executive Committee, have decided that, inasmuch as the tariff of April 1 was established for the summer sea- son, and the reduction of April 11 was only made to meet special rates which were since withdrawn, commencing -Monday, April 18, the taritf of April 1 be restored, and the eiglth elass be made 30 cents. A BIG MUORTGAGE. HousTtoy, Tex., April 16.—~There was re- corded here to-day a mortgage made by the Houston &Texas Central Railway Company to the Farmers’ Loan & Trust Company of New York, to secure 18,500 bonds of $1,000 cach. THis mortgage covers the entire road and all its franchises. It is dated April 1, 1881, payable April 1, 1921, ad the proceeds derived from these new bands is to be used in retiring the old bonds, amountiug to over $16,000,000. ATLANTA & WEST POINT. Avtcusta, Ga., April 16.—The Wadley, Sloan & Taylor Syndicate have purchased a controlling interest in the Atlanta & West Point Railroad. This gives the Louisville & Nashville and Central Railroad combinations the principal South Atlantic and Gulf ports, embracing Charleston, Savannzh, Pensacola, Mobile, New Orleans, and inland cities for Western freights. INJUNCTION -DISSOLVED. Meypnis, Tenn., April 16—The cause which has been pending in the United States Court here, in which the Southern Express Company enjoined the Memphis & Table- Rock Railroad Company from charging the same prices charged other shippers of ex- press matter, came up to-day before Judges Baxter and llammond. After argument the injuncuon was dissolved. ITEMS. Mr. L. G. Ogden, formerly Treasurer of the Chicago & Pacific Ruilway in this city, has been appointed Auditor of the Canadian Pacific Railway, with headquarters at Win- nipeg. Mr. Ogden is an experienced ac- countant, and he will no doubt give a good account of himself in his new position. A freight train on the Tllinois Central was wrecked near lomewood early yesterday mung\ng delaying the Cincinnati express and the Gilman passenger for about three hours. ‘The accident was caused by thefreight jump- ing the track while trying to switch off in order to_allow the passenger train to pass. Turee of the cars were considerably broken up, but little damage was done to the others. Acar loaded with fine horses fortunately escaped destruction. ‘The clerks of the General Passenger De- partment _of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad not having been given an opportunity to contribute to the gold watel aud chain pres; James R. Ward night before last, and not being willing to al- low their former cuief to depart for new fields without giving him some slight token of esteem and friendship, presented him yes- terday morning with a box of the finest cigars that could be procured. Mr. C. 1L Grant, one of the boys noted for his elo- quence, made the presentation, and Mr. Ward feelingly expressed his thanks. Several Important and valuable additions have just been wade to the Lravelers’, Ship- pers’ and Mall Guide. 'The new census of 1330 is now published with every city and town mentioned in the zuide. There has also been added a list of the departures and arrivals of all the Pacific steamship lines at San Francisco, But the most important im- provement is the addition of a new and most complete shivpers’ guide for Llinois, giving the locations of -all points in the State and showing how to ship from Chicago, also how to express and telegraph - to those points - cop: hout running about for information. A new.and revised shippers’ guide for Iowa and Nebraska wiil also be added soon. ‘o shippers and railway men this gulde is in- valuable. \ THE LELAND HOTEL. An Innovation — Fashionable Dinner ¥lour. 1t has been the pride of the Lelands to be first to make all the best nnovations in their hotels, and now Warren F. Leland opeus the Chicago house by _hmuguruti i the very stylish dinner hours of 5to 7:30 p. m. This will be a welcome change to the gentleman of leisure as well as the business-man, and it is to be expected thatsome of the other hotels will follow suit, but to follow the Lelands in the hotel business will be « lively race for many of them. The changes in the Leland Hotel are already so marked that partles who have not visite d the place for several weeks would not kno w it. reception-room has been frescoed in the highest style of art, re- fitted with elegant tapestry carpets, and a suitof furniture that is truly magnificent, Tl dining-room has also been frescoed and urnished with new silver made from { pattern designed by Mr. W. Leland, and while every plece is as plain as possible, the general effect when oir the table is very pleasine to the eye, and indicates solid duri- bility and comfort in its nse. It will be used for the first time at to-day’s dinner, which is to be an_elaborate. affair. All the appoint- ments of the hotel have been improved. ‘The billiard-room has been changed to the large, commodious corner store, where, with the new bar, new fixtures, and elaborate frescoes, (h]e guests and their friends nay enjoy them- selves.

Mon. day and Tuesday were the only days that these Suits could be shown, and in thyt limited gime we sold several hundred, op nearly half the entire lot. i . Below we repeat our advertisement of last Sunday, and confidently assert that no such prices for the sante class of Goods have ever been made in this country, ALL-WOOL CHEVIOT DRESSES, the materials of which cost $1.75 per yarg, and were“sold two weeks ago at Wbole’- sule by D. B. Babcock & Co., the leading : house of the-kind in this country, foz. i $28.00. The same will be oftered by ng ' a $15.00,—not near the price of the ma. terials used.

The priceof ;| this elegant Suit will be $20. The trime. ming alone of this Dress cost abont the price we ask for the entire Suit. They were sold by the manufacturers two weeks ago, at wholesale, for $42.50; re. tail price would have been about $50.00, We have two more unparalleled bare gains to describe. - One is 300 SUMMER SILK SUITS thatiwere made to whole. sale at $16.50.
