I. X. K. ASKS FOR
Higher RATES
TO AMERICA

The T. X. X has sent an application
to the japanese government asking te
increase the freight rates for raw silk
on the American line, and for tea and
rice on the South American line, ae-
cording TO the japan Advertiser. The
company wants TO increase the freight
rate on raw silk from $50 per ton to
$50, as the company has to pay $50
out of the $50 to the railway company
in America. As to tea and rice, the
company asked the authorities TO
sanction an increase OF 20 yen per ton,
since both tea and silk merchants are
making large profits. One ton of tea
now sells for 400 yen, and the net
profit on this is said to be nearly 800
yen. On rice, also, extraordinary
profits are being made.
