HAVE CORNERED
BALLAST MARKET
COMBINATION OF WHITE AND
JAPANESE FIRMS RAISES PRICE
FROM 70 CENTS TO 81 A TON.

The price of ballast has been raised.
A trust is said to have secured control
of the local market. Captains of YES
sells now in port are very sore over the
situation. They declare that they are
being squeezed by the trust The trust
probably feels that inasmuch as it is
dealing in rocks, it ought to have a
rock bound cinch.
The former price of ballast was 20
cents a ton. Last Monday after the
combination of white and Japanese
ballasting companies was effected the
price was advanced to 81 a ton, nearly
a third increase over the former price.
The advance has caught the captains
at a bad time. There is no sugar on
hand now and most of the sailing ves-
sells in port have to depart empty.
Even those operating to San Francisco
have to go in ballast. There are six
teen sailing vessels of various sizes
and character now in port that will
have to go in ballast of some kind. The
amounts that they viii require will be
from rs tons up to 900. The result of
the raise is that the captains are
caught in tight hole. They are con-
fronted with the necessity of pungling
up the advance or else going out witt
shortened amounts of ballast.
