9. The Chief of the Bureau of Statistics to day submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury statement in re card to the tariff act of March 3, 1883, so far the same can be shown from available data the present time It appears that the reduction in the ad valorem rate of duty on dutiable goods for the quarter ended September 1683, as compared with the corresponding quarter ended September 30, 1882, was only 2 12 per cent makiDg due allowance for changes ia the law with respect to tho valuations of eatings and coverings. The reduction in the average of the ad valorem rate of duty on sugar was only 2 7 per cent, for the quarter ended September 80. and somewhat less for the months of October and November. The reduction in the average ad valorem rate on clothing wool was 9 7 per on combing wool 8 per and on carpet wool 3 46 per cent These reductions are very much less than was expecU either by the friends or opponents of-the new law.

He adds, however, that the results ascertained thus far are to some extent vitiated by excessive importation prior to June SO, of goods upon which the duties wero decreased by the new law, and to some extent probably by an increase in the rates actually laid upon sugar in consequence of mire accurate ascertainment udder the new law than under the old of the quality of sugar with respect to sacharlne strength.

9. Notice was received at the Trunk Line headquarters to day that the Chicago and Alton Road had cut passenger rates from points on the Missouri river, eastward, to the extent of $4 on through tickets. The war on passenger rates which this action will possibly precipitate, is viewed with no little apprehension among railroad men. It is not known what action will be taken by the roads in joint Executive Committee to meet this reduction, but it is said assurances have been given by all of them that they will refuse to transact any through business with the non conforming roads. Commissioner Fink announced to day that on and after Monday next, the roada in Joint Executive Committee, will not be parties to any through bills of lading issued by the Delaware, Ltckawannaand Western Railroad.

This is in accordance with the decision of the runk Line Executive Committee held on December 31, when it was decided not to admit the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western into the pool on account of its exorbitant demands and the fact that it has made numerous contracts for transportation at reduced rotes, some of wh-ch extended over a year, and which President Sloan insisted upon carrying out.
