charter, while having the right to build a

so MANY POINTS
The Mistake of Vessel Owners.

Vessel owners and agents are getting
their mad up. They now see where sew
eral mistakes were made this season, and
they propose to remedy affairs if possible.
In the first place the suddenness of the
opening of navigation, when it once started,
fooled them. While scarcely expecting an
opening through the straits before June l,
they unexpectedly discovered that they had
estimated the date by fifteen or twenty
days. With this condition suddenly thrust
upon them they all became inOrdinately
anxious to secure a load, the chief object ap-
parently being to get to the other end of the
lakes to take back ore and wheat. AS the
docks were almost bare at lower lake points,
the competition for the little coal to be
found increased until the present low rate
has been reached. One or two trips at the
low rates has, however,, satisfied most
vesselmen. They want no more of it.
Within the past few days number of YES
sells have actually refused to carry coal at
the rates offered, preferring to go light to
the upper lakes for grain and ore than take
coal at the prevailing terms. Should this
policy continue, the shippers will be anxious
after while and rates will increase. Ore
rates down, however, are not so strong as
vessel owners would like to see. The first
single trip charters for the season are re-
ported at so cents, this being 10 to 20 cents
lower than the opening rate of last year.
