270 FOREIGN TRADE ZONES Influence of free port on the development of foreign trade.—The sup- pression of the free port in 1886 caused a temporary shrinkage of the traffic with the hinterland, owing to the high tariffs prevailing for the manipulation of goods in the free zone, and on account of a general diffidence on the part of private traders to utilize the bonded ware- houses instead of the town depots, which were previously under their direct control. These difficulties were soon overcome, and traffic picked up greatly when it was found that the bonded warehouses offered every guarantee, security, and manipulation facilities. This traffic increased so rapidly that it resulted in the congestion of the free zone in November, 1896. Owing to the competition of Hamburg, Trieste is undergoing at present a severe crisis, and it is believed locally that this port can exist only with the continued support of the Government in its endeavors to arrive at an understanding with Hamburg and the German railways for a system of rail tariffs less unfavorable to this port and a division of the hinterland in a satisfactory manner between these two ports. A conference with this end in view is to be held in June, 1928, and it is hoped that a final agreement will be reached settling the points of interest between the two ports.
