STEEL FREIGHT
RATES GO UP
Sl4 TON

Although transpacific freight rates
on food commodities, such as wheat.
lard and meat products, have risen
but little In the last two years, the
cost Of shipping steel products from
the Pacific coast to Japan and China
has increased $14 a short ton since
October ], 1916, is shown in letter
from Or. {. E. Pratt, chief of the bu-
reaa Of foreign and domestic CON-
merce. to the Hen. Joshua w. Alex
ander. chairman OF the house COM
mittee on the merchant marine and
fisheries.
This 1.-THE small increase on food
commodities) rs more significant, :
says the latter in part, in the case OF
wheat than in the case OF lard and
meat products, since under ordinary
conditions there Is large volume OF
wheat moved and comparatively little
lard and meat. The rates on boots
and shoes show comparatively small
Increase during the past two years;
in other words, from so cents TO only
rs cents per 100 pounds. In certain
other commodities the transpacific
rates from Seattle have increased in
a remarkable degree.
The rate on agricultural machinery
was three times as high on January
i. 1916, as on January 1, 1914, while
the rate ON copper was twice as
high; the rate on leather shipped in
cases, about Ave times as high; and
the rate on canned salmon, twice as
high. The greatest increases. how
ever, have been in steel products. On
January /, 1914, the cost Of transport
ing bar iron, sheet iron, or wire from
Seattle to HongkOng was only $3.50
| per short ton, but on January ], 1916
the rate was $50, there having been
Ian increase Of $f4 per short ton since
October /, 1915"
DR.. Pratt makes an interesting com
parison between the rates on specified
commodities from New York to Liver.
pool and between Seattle and Hong
kong. The rate on sack -four from
New York to Liverpool increased IN
! the period between January !, 1914,
and January I, 1916, from 10 cents per
100 pounds to 80 cents, whereas the
rate on the same commodity from
OCdIIl0 " IlOAtf5 nOAS AA.SA See0SNA Ae,- - =
this period from 25 cents per 100
pounds to 70 cents. On January |,
I 1914, the rate on -four from New York
to Liverpool was 10 cents per 100
pounds less than the rate on -four
| from Seattle to Hongkong, but on Jan!
uary l., 1916, the rate from New York
i to Liverpool was is cents more per
100 pounds than the corresponding
rate from Seattle to Hongkong-
A special point IS made Of the re-
markable rise in the rates on grain,
one Of the principal American exports.
This Increase from New York to Liv.
erpool in the last two years has been
about 900 per cent, while the increase
IL the rate on -four has been 500 per
cent and the increase on provisions
only 400 per cent. The more rapid
increase is accounted for by the fact
that in ordinary times grain is carried
at especially low rates because OF its
desirability as ballast and because It
can easily be taken on and dis
charged.
