right away is contained in a letter
to Chairman Joshua w. Alexander
of the house committee on merchant
marine and fisheries, from Doctor +.
eign and domestic commerce, depart
ment of commerce. The letter, which
has just been made public, calls at
tention to the rapid rise in ocean
freight rates from American ports.
The letter is especially interesting
to farmers, since it shows the re-
markable increase in the rates on
grain, one of the principal American
exports at this time. This increase
from New York to Liverpool in the
last two years has been about 800
per cent, while the increase in the
rate on flour has been 500 per cent
and the increase on provisions only
400 per cent. The more rapid in
the fact that in ordinary times grain
is carried at especially low rates be-
cause of its desirability as ballast
and because it can easily be taken on
and discharged.
The letter is the most complete
report on the subject of ocean freight
rates that has yet been published.
1t includes detailed reports from the
bureaus district Offices in New York,
Boston, New Orleans, San Francisco,
and Seattle, as we'll as data conf
piled at the bureau in Washington.
A study of the many tables of rates
reveals some interesting variations
in the rates from different ports
In January. 1914, the rate on grain
from New York and Boston to Liver
pool was Al cents per bushel; one
year later the rate from New York
to Liverpool was 1873 cents and from
Boston to Liverpool 1872 to 15.2 cents
per bushel In January 1915 the
rate from New York to Liverpool was
4O6 cents per bushel and from Bos-
ton to Liverpool it was 34.5 to 3o.5
cents. From these data it appears
that the rate on grain from New
York to Liverpool was, in January,
1916, about ten times as high as in
January, 1914, while the rate from
Boston to Liverpool was only about
nine times as great. In January of the
present year grain could be shipped
from to cents per bushel less
from Boston than from New York.
The higher rate from New York IS
probably due to the long delays ana
the high demurrage charges result
ing from the present congestion at
the port of New York.
The advances in rates from New
Orleans to European ports have been
fully as prominent as the increases
from New York to the same ports.
At both New York and New Orleans
the rate on cotton shipments to LlV-
erpool has been increased about 9Oo
per cent in the past two years, Dut
it is still far cheaper, as far as the
ocean rate is concerned, to ship cot
ton from New York, in spite or us
congested condition, than from New
orleans. On January 1, 1916, the rae
per 100 pounds of cotton was $50
from New York and So from New
Orleans.
