Berlin, Aug. pa rate war involv-
ing cabin passages has broken out be-
tween the Cunard and the German
lines in the north Atlantic service.
The Cunard line having offered a min
imum first cabin passage from Ham
burg to New York at $127.5O, includ-
ing free ticket to Liverpool and ex-
line announces a reduction of rates
from $3.50 to $107.50 and the North
German Lloyd cut from $130 to
$117.50. This comes after prolonged
negotiations on the part of the Ger
man lines with the Cunard company
with the object of reaching an agree
ment to maintain rates.
German Troubles Many.
The German lines are becoming in
volved in rate wars in various 5irec-
tions. The Hamburg Americans new
connection between New York and
lines, which have answered with a
further reduction of the steerage rate
to New York.
The German steamship companies
found it impossible to continue to
draw Russian emigrants by the rail
route from the Russian frontier to
Hamburg and Bremen, because they
preferred embarking at the home
ports, Riga and Libau. This neces-
STATED bidding for emigrants at Bal
tic ports.
The opinion prevails at Hamburg
and Bremen that the Russian lines
will be unable to keep up the fight
long and will offer to compromise be-
fore many months have elapsed.
Generalization in Brazil Traffic.
Decentralization prevails also in the
freight business to Brazil and other
parts of South America, caused by a
cut from $S.75 to 1915 a ton by the
English shipping firm of Lamport &
Holt The latter went into the trans
atlantic business owing to the en-
trance of the Hamburg-South Ameri-
can Steamship company and the Ham
burg-American line into the trade be-
tween Brazil and New York, COM
peting with Lamport & Holt and the
Brazilian Lloyd.
