RISE IN FREIGHT RATES
TRANS-PACIFGC COMPANIES PUT
on PRICES.
Demand for Government Transports
Has Made Bottoms More Valuable
Than Ever-Oriental Trade Affected.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 20
Yesterday cable advices were received
announcing that the steamship COM
panies We're prepared to advance rates
to the Orient because of the inability
to handle all the business on hand.
The Southern Pacific Immediately saw
it's opportunity and did not take long
to determine that the freight rates
must go up. Just when the higher
charges will go into effect will not be
given out at present, as it might shut
off some of the shipments already con-
tracted.
In speaking of the matter yesterday,
Third Vice President j. G. Stubs said:
"Our rates to the Orient will be raised
shortly, in keeping with advances
made by other lines The Pacific and
Atlantic coasts are swept bare of ships
for commerce, owing to the demands
of the American and British govern
ments for transport and store ships
for the Philippines and South Africa.
AS a consequence the Atlantic liners
have been compelled to raise rates on
freight and this enables us to make
advances on freight by way of Pacific
Coast ports. 1t is only natural that
we should do this. Any business con-
Germ would take advantage of condi-
tions that would tend to advance its
financial interests. We received ad-
vices today from London via Yokohama
regarding the additional tariff. and we
shall make our rates accordingly"
This action of the railroad comes as
an additional blow to the mercantile
industries of the State. On October
10th there will be an additional ad-
vance of approximately 40 per cent on
all interstate commodity shipments,
which means an absolute Gripping of
business, owing to the inability of ship
pers to pay the new tolls and still
make reasonable profits.

when you are sick, what you like
