BREAK IN RATES. Everything indicates that within twenty- four hours orders will be recelved from Coin- missioner Fink for a reduction of east-bound grain rates to the basis of 25 conts from Chi- cago to New York, Private dispatches were received here yesterday that Mr. J. IE, Rut- ter, Vice-President of the New York Central Railroad, has given notice to Conmilssioner Fink'that, unless a reduction of east-bound -rates was ordered within twenty-four hours, the New York Central would considor itself no longer bound by the cast-bound tariff, ‘and would make rates tu sult Itself, It hs slearned that the trank-lltie Presidents held a. vinveting at Commissioner Fink’s office in New York yesterday to consider this matter, and, although nothing was heard from them jup to a Inte hour last eventng, yet it ls taken ifur granted that the reduction will be or- dereil to-day. Mr. Rutter bases his action upon the ground that the fast-frelaht Hnes “running over tho Grand Trunk and Erie Roads lave ‘been entting rates fur some thne past, and that, although proof had been furnished to ‘Mr. Fink that such’ were the faets, yet that gentleman has this tar refused to take ay ‘action In tho mater.
