Harrlmnn hns achieved a strategical victory in persundlng tho Ainorlcan-llnwnllun Btcnmship com puny into entering nn ngrcoment t'o rnlso rntcs on custom bound Cali fornia commodities Is the opinion of tho lending merghnnts of tho city today. Whllo thoro is no way of ohtnlnlng ofllclnl confirmation of tho rumor it is bcliovcd in business circles the Btcamshlp lino committed hari-kari when it was inveigled Into a trnfflc agreement with tho trans-continental railroads. They vlow tho voluntary ralso as suicidal and bollovu that tho ocean transportation company has sacrificed its long hold independence. Tho rates will bo raised on the day tho advanced rates -of tho trans continental lines go Into effect, ac cording to Albert M. Sutton, general freight agent, of tho Hawaiian-American company. Thoy will correspond with tho railroads' announced ton per cent increnso but nB yet will ef fect only California shippers and products. What action will bo taken by tho railroads in other' pacific coast states will bo dovelopcd later. Tho reaching of a traffic agree ment, howovor, by tho tiwo co'mpnnlcs Is looked upon by railroad men as an indirect announcement thnt tho Southern Pacific dominates tho American-Hawaiian lino. Tho nd vanco of rates, at present regnrded as equable and for tho best interests of ocean freight lines, Is regarded by shippors as a comploto surrender to tho Harriman interests.
