London last week three-years agreement has
been arranged by which alf steamship lines will

option of making a reduction OF thirty shillngs
for the winter season Third class raCes are
hack to the old basis, ana first and second class
minimum rates are generally one pound higher
than before the cutting began, but all fares
the Cunard Lines steamers Lusitania and

lings.

atlantic lines. but said the clause, agreed o. u
uniform saloon rate all the year round" was er-
roneous a.d meant that the lines had all agreed on
a minimum cabin rate He said il was not reason
able to suppose that the same price would be
charged on old and slow steamers OF one line as on
the faster and better steamers OF another company
