C., the Pacific west- bound conference adopted the following changes in rates: General cargo in- creased from $10 to $12; machinery from $825 to $10; agricultural im- plements $9 to $10; sulphate of ammonia $7 to $9; automobiles $8 to $10; cigarets $11 to $12; iron and steel $5 to $650. The rates apply to cargo originating east of the Missouri river. The new tariffs are adjusted so as to establish a parity between lines operating from Atlantic ports direct by water and lines between north Pacific and the Orient. With the inauguration of round-the- world service by the Dollar Steamship line, it is announced that passengers re- quire six yards of ticket to enable them to encircle the. globe. The com- plete ticket forms a booklet of 25 pages, containing a coupon good between each port of call with a final return limit of two years.
