WILL, DIVEÉT THE TRAFFIC. "It" is "possibile" that the new regulation may divert the tea and silk trade to japanese vessels, which could bring tea and silk to San Francisco at a rate less than the American steamships could afford to offer. These are the problems that confront the commerce of this port with respect to the enforcement of the new rulings of the Interstate Commerce Commission compal- ling the railroads to announce publicly just what they charge for hauling commodities across the continent, no matter, if they are Asiatic shipments in transit.
Steamship men fear that if a good part of the traffic is not allowed to go to foreign tramp steamers plying by way of Snez the compara tively large rate allowed the railroad will make it easy and satural for the Japanese lines to take the trade because their subsidies and their lesser expanse of operating their vessels will permit them to become exterminating rivals for the Pacific
The present through rate on tea in carload lot is $1.50 a hundred pounds, but the new interstate regulations. compel the railroads to take $1 as their proportion of the haul; the railroads moving the commodity 3,000 miles:| and the steamers nearly 2,000 miles,
COMMODITIES affected" Matting is 51,35 a hundred pounds all the way from Asia to New York when it carload lots, but with November 1st it is to be $1 a bundred for the railroads' share of the haul.
Now the tariff on raw silk and on silk gooda from the Orient to New York is $6 a hundred pounds on raw silk and $6 a hundred on silk goods, plus an ad valorem tale ranging from $4 to $4.60 a hundred pounds., The railroad and the steamship are splitting that up accord. ing to their own arrangement. But with November 1st the railroads will be compelled to take $4 a hundred pounds for their share of eilber raw silk or silk goods.
Curios are new going through all the way from China and Japas to New York for $1.50 a hundred pounds, but with Novembër 1st the railroad will tako S..so a hundred pounds for its share, leaving the steamship lines to CREFY It for nothing if the present rate be maintained or to increase the through rate by whatever they find necessary to give them a regsonable profit far their share of the long haul., And that increase may drive the curio shipments to the Suez route.
