OCEAN RATES SOAR
TO NEW HIGH MARK
Shippers Fear British Will
RequisitiOn Boats in South
American Trade.
Csc CHARGE FOR GRAIN

The scarcity Of ocean bottoms to carry
freight to European and other ports has
again advanced the already high rates
asked for grain. Yesterday New York
heard that IS cents a bushel is the rate
which Argentine shippers will pay to
have their grain shipped to European
ports. Considering the fact that ship
pers who have sent their grain to gulf
ports here for shipment are willing to
pay as high as 81 cents "A bushel to
west Italian ports, IL IL believed prob
able that should the British Government
reauisition the boats used In the South
American trade by British owners South
America will have to gs along az best
she may.
Although local agents OF h British
lines operating between south American,
North American and European ports
saw they have received no confirmation
Of the report that the British Admiralty
will reuuisition the boats to carry car
goes to United kingdom ports, the
rumor persisted to he effect that the
vessels plying between North and south
America will be taken from that trade
and confined to the one mentioned.
Shipping interests say that the bulk
OF the eNIDTtlIl6 tillt " WV W ih'F
been dependent upon the British mer-
chant fee, since the beginning OF the
war. They say further that the short
age of bottoms which has boosted ocean
freight rates TO unprecedented levers has
been due 10 the fact that Great Britain
has had to coal and feed her immense
navy and her several widely separated
armies and that there IL no apparent
relief In sight.

available, and shipping aants say that
the merchant marine of the neutral and
belligerent countries, includiNV the United
States, docs not figure 20 any appreciate
extent.
Ships making long voyages by way OF
the Suez Canal to Far East ports. or
those routed around the Cape of Good
Hope to the same destination are leased
at high figures. in some instances the
rate being 80 shillings a registered ton
a day.
South American Importers and ex-
porters who would suffer most II the

Chilean nitrates. During the month OF
| December 700. 900 tons of coffee were
cleared by two OF the principal South
| American ports for American ports and
yearly imports Of rubber approximate
1000 tons and cocoa almost 1900 ,o0O
bags.
Among the British lines 20 South
American ports from New York are the
Prince Line. the Lamport & Holt Lne,
the Booth Line and the Houston Line.

LIVERPOOL LEADS
ADVANCE IN COTTON
Local Market Higher, but
Makes Only Partial Re-
Spouse to Strength.
PLIGHT OF LANCASHIRE

As has been the cast for more than
a week. Liverpool yesterday furnished
the feature Of the cotton market by
making a sharp advance In the price
Of both spots and futures. The contract
market at the time OF the local opening
was 1s to 81 points higher han due
and spots advanced 16 points to s.2Sd.
for American middling on sales Of 49,.
900 bales.
The local trade has been so accus-
toned to the increase in the Liverpool
premium that II paid very little atten-
market n made IN opening advance
Of only s to IL points. After some
reaction on profit taking the market re-
covered to the opening basis and closed
very steady at q net gain OF 5 to Is
points.
The feature that Is interesting the
trade just at present is the evident
crisis which has developed In the Eng
lish cotton trade. The present situation
is a result Of the regulations Of the Brit
ish Government, first from the pressure
brought to bear on importing merchants
urging them not to tie up too much
money in cotton purchases. Second.
there has been such a diversion OF o
mage from Southern ports that exports
have been reduced to a minimum.
The British Government look the
choice between permitting merchants
to import on a fairly liberal basis and
afYording adequate carrying facilities
and the alternative OF employing funds
In other channels and using the ships
elsewhere.
AS a result Of this policy the British
spinner il now paying a price for cotton
that Is almost unprecedented during the
last four decades. II would not be sur
prising IL Lancashire made such com
plants tina. che bars woul be let down
and exporting he resumed on a more
nearly normal basis. This naturally
would bring down the price OF cotton IN
Liverpool and also would be the occasion
for n sharp advance in America
southern SPOT markets were all higher
yesterday. with advances ranging from
one-eighth to o~nc-quarter. Savannah
wired that cotton was for sale In larg,
blocks at reasonable figures, with demand
poor. Other markets sent advices stat.
ing that sales would he on a large scale
except that practically no cotton was Of
fered.
A rumor was In circulation yester-
day to the effect that the National Gin
ners Association reported $4,000 bales
ginned for the last period in December
This would be The smallest output since
l9O9-lo. when the amount was $4,000
bales for the period.
