CUT The sTEERAGE RATES.
Hamburg Line Also Comes Down
to $40. s.''>
Rumor that a $3.50 Rate to Liver
pool May BE Made.

The Hamburg American line made
another cut In steerage rates this morn
Ing by reducing the price OF steerage
ticket to Southampton by express steam
ship from SIS to $40. This is the rate
that has prevailed on the American
line for several weeks, and that COM
pany. has had more business than It
could accommodate, and has had to turn
over Its non English speaking passen-
gers to the German lines and pay their
rates.
The American line people say that the
cut by the Hamburg will be an advan-
tage to them, rs II will enable them to
dispose of their surplus traffic to an
other company without loss.
The Hamburg line has been carrying
steerage passengers to Queenstown for
six weeks past, and for a week to
southampton also. The business became
80 heavy that they had to cut II Off
This only applied to the smaller steam
ship. but now the rate is sic TO South
ampton on the Fuerst Bismarck, Nor
MAMMA and other fast vessels of the
line.
The $40 rate to Southampton has drawn
much trade from Liverpool, and the
Liverpool companies are considering the
advisability OF cut to $3.50. A rumor
that cut to this rate was prevalent
this morning. but investigat ton showed
that such was not the case.
