The recent advance in rates on the
different steamer lines affected freight
as well as passenger business. The adj
vance in freight rates was about one
hundred per cent, Some Of the mer-
chants were inclined to kick a little, but
the more thoughtful ones realized that
for several months past, during the prev
llence OF the low rates, none of the boats
paid operating expenses. and thought
hat Il was only fair that they should
have chance to live. Mr.. B. Campbell,
The general freight agent OF the o. R.
end N, was here yesterday, and In
speaking OF the matter said that river
rates have been abnormaiiy low for a
long time. owing to disagreements be-
tween the lines, and that now all were
content to get something like living fig
ures. Mr.. Campbell further said, in
speaklng of the eastern rate situation.
that the o. r. and N. would be glad to
see rates westbound even further adj
vanced on certain classes OF goods which
could be just as well manufactured on
The coast as In the East-in fact. would
like to see prohibitive rates established
In order to build up home manufactures.
and that under the re-adjustmenlt Of mat
ters on that basis everybody would be
better of. Mr.. Campbell is one OF the
brightest freight managers on the coast
and knows whereof he speaks.
