Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Here's what I am looking for.  The Red Star Line discounted its  
second-cabin steamship fares by $10 for the passage from New York  
City to Antwerp, Belgium during the summer of 1897.  The Red Star  
line operated 4 steamships between New York and Antwerp that summer:  
The Westernland, The Noorland, The Berlin, and The Friesland.

Does anyone know where I can find the actual fare?  Also, I need to  
know what the price of a 2nd cabin roundtrip ticket, NY-Antwerp-NY,  
on these Red Line passenger ships of 1897 was.

I have searched the papers using ProQuest but no fare information  
arises from the ads I find about the Red Star Line.  Is there a list  
of fares from this line that might exist somewhere else?

Thanks In advance!

Mercedes
