The competition between the trunk Unes for western freights oontinues, and a further general reduction of the tariffs by the Brie, New York Central and Pennsyvania Central has just been adopted. The following is a list of the stations, with tbe reductions and new rates per hundred weight : for first class general nierchandise, which inohides diy goods, boots and shoes, ready-madeclothing, etc, New York to Toledo ; reduced trom 58 to 31c ; to Detroit, from 53 to 28 ; to Cleveland from 49 to 26 ; to Cincinnati, from 70 to 37 ; to Indianapolis, from 51 to 38 ; to Louisville, from 86 to 49 ; to Nashville from 11.10 to 73c ; to Memphis from $1.35 to 98c ; to St. Louis from 97 to 55 ; to Fort Wayne from 65 to 35 ; to Chicago and Milwaukee from 53 to 28 ; to Atchison and Leavenworth, from $1.39 to 97c; to Lake Erie ports, which include Cleveland, Toledo, and Detroit, steam rates have been reduoed to 24 cents, and to Lake Michigan ports, which include Chicago, Milwaukee, and Green Bay, with steam around the lakes, tariff for first class goods is 27 cents. Several of the outside city railway ticket offices have recently made oonsiderable reductions in the price of tickets to prominent points in the West. The fare to Cleveland is thus reduced from $14.25 to $12.50; to Chicago, from $22 to $19.50, and to Cincinnati, from $20 to 18. None of the regular Broadway offices have been authorized to make the reduction, but they will probably be qompelled to do so.
