RATES WAR NOW ENDED Western Railroads Settle Long Strife Over Shipments Ship-ments of Grain. CHICAGO, May 6. After many futile fu-tile attempts, the Western railroads have succeded In completing a final settlement set-tlement of the grain rate war between Missouri river points and Chicago. All have agreed to make proportionate proportion-ate rates from all Mlsscairl river points and have decided that the through rates from Nebraska points to Chicago shall not be lower than the combined locals, excepting from certain Nebraska points tributary to the Sioux City gateway, the latter being a concession to the Chicago Chi-cago 4& Northwestern. Present rates 5 cents on wheat and 4 cents on other grain will remain In effect ef-fect until the new rates are checked off, and the latter probably will not go in effect until June 1.
