KEEN COMPETITION
By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. NEW YORK, Friday. The Roosevelt Steamship Line, which operates the American-Austra-lian Line, Funch Edye and Company, which operates the Cun&rd service, and the Norton Illey Company, which operates (he Ellerman Lines, announce a reduction of 4s 2d a ton on motor-cars shipped from Xew York to Australia. It is indicated that a further reduction will be made if competition with the Canadian Mercantile Marine demands it. The situation has arisen from the Australian preferential tariff, and th»* point of origin of motor-cars. Many thousands of American motor-cart-formerly shipped by the lines named, have, of late, been shipped by Canad ian lines. It is expected that the adjustment in the freight rates will result in a resumption of the flow of this traffic through New York.— A. and X.Z.
