Tariff Hops Increased Across Transcontinental Lines
The Yakima Herald reports a new tariff raising hops rates by 50 cents per 100 pounds across all transcontinental lines from California to the Atlantic coast and intermediate areas. The change draws objections from Washington hop growers and Tacoma shippers who argue profit margins will shrink. Railways defend the raise, noting prior leniency when prices were low in 1898 and improved market conditions.
