made public today. The report is a
comprehensive one, and covers both
the rates on the Pacific and the Allan

seaports of the country.
The increase in grain rates from New
York to Liverpool between January,
1914, and January of the current wear
were about 900 per cent, but the in
crease in this product is declared to
be all the more noticeable because of
the fact that grain had a very cheap
rate in normal times, because vessels
were glad to carry it as ballast. The
rate of flour increased 500 per cent and
provisions 400 per cent.
While the freight rates on sack -four

such commodities as wheat lard, and

ed comparatively little increase. How
