Owners Of the Portland five-masted
schooner Jane Palmer will receive the
largest freight money ever paid for
carrying cargo of coal from a South
ern coal port to Portland, as the
Palmer will receive $2.75 per ton for
about $500 tons of coal to be brought
to Portland from Newport News.
The Palmer is now on her way out
to the Southern coal port and will
probably complete the round trip in
ABOUT three weeks or less time. On

S2.Oo per ton so the increase to s275
per ton. does not indicate that there
mas been any slump in freight rates
being offered shipowners.
