THE TARIFF QUESTION'
DEBATED
PORT RIVALRY
An Important point is raised in the Italian commercial Press in connection with the rivalry be
tween the ports of Trieste and Hamburg and the rearrangement of the German railway tariff. It Ja argued that any raising of the Germap railway tariff must in. evitably affect in an unfavourable. manner the traffic of Trieste.with Southern Germany. For the over- whelmingly larger number of goods
that is to say, for all those ar ticles of merchandise for which seaport tariffs have hitherto exist- ed-the rates have been increased only, towards the south, but not to the ngah, as the 'exceptional tariffs to the German seaports have been excluded in principle from the in-
| crease.
