On feod commodities. suci as wheat.
Hard and meat products, have risen
but Iittle.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 i, 1913, Is shown in a letter
from DR.. E. 8. Pratt, chief ofxthe bu-
reau 3f foreign and domestic COM
meece.- 10 the Hen Joshua W. Alex
ander, chairman of the house com
nIittee on the merchant marine and
fisheries
This 1.-THE small increase chi food
commQditfes1 is mere 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 a large volume OF
wheat moved and comparatively little
lard and meat. The rates On boots
and shoes show a comparatively small
Increase during the past two years;
: in other words, from so cents to only
IS cents per 100 pounds. In certain
other commodities the transpacific
rates from Seattle have increased in
remarkable degree.
tThe rate on agricultural machinery
was three times as high on January
/, 1916, as on January !, 1914, while
the rate ON copper was twice as
high; the rate on leather shipped in
cases. about I'VE times as high: and
1.-The rate on canned salmon, twice as
thigh. The greatest increases, how
ever. have been in steel products. On
January I, 1914, the cost of transport
| ing bar iron, sheet iron, or wire from
Seattle to Hongkong was only IS. 81
per short ton. but on January l, 1915
the rate was $50, there having been
an increase of s14 per short ton since
October 1, 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 l, 1914
and January /, 1916, from Is cents pei
100 pounds to 80 cents, whereas the
rate on the same commodity from
Seattle to Hongkong increased during
this period from 25 cents per 1OC
pounds to rs cents. On January l,
E1914. the rate on -four from New York
Ito Liverpool was 10 cents per LOG
rounds less than the rate on -four
from Seattle to Hongkong, but on Jan
uary 1. 1916, the rate from New York
Ito liverpool was Is cents more pei
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
in 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 It's
desirability as ballast and because it
can easily be taken on and dis

PLEDGE
SUFFRAGE SUPPORT
National Woman Suffrage AS
ISOLATION Says $40 Have
Declared for Amendment.

| Three hundred and seventy candidates
for Congress this year have gone on
record as favoring the Federal amend
ment for woman suffrage. This In the
statement made by the National Ameri-
| can Woman Suffrage Association
through its Congressional committee.
Tho association has put out the
| figures preliminary to celebration OF Its
second Federal Amendment Day" The
data 10 obtained through replies TO a
| letter of inquiry sent out by the asso-
| ciation to candidates to find out where
they stand.
| Only thirty-six Congressional candi-
| dates have expressed unfavorable
| opinions. The candidates in their re-
plies express many personal opinions
which, according to Miss Ruth White,
| secretary of the Congressional COM
mittee. show there IL more real interest
| In woman suffrage among politicians
this year than ever before In the history
! OF the country.
THE two big facts that stand out
when we analyze the replies received
| from candidates and that pleased us
most" she said. ARE that the replies In
dicate that the great majority OF those
questioned are better informed on the
subject OF woman suffrage than ever be-
fore and that a splendid proportion Of
them really believe in the Justice Of our
cause and are not pledging their support
to us merely because II Is politically ex-
pedient to do So"
The association says that New York,
Pennsylvania. and practically all large
and important States have responded
amaEingly to the committees request
for Information on their Congregational
candidates. suffrage views. In New
York alone OF the ninety-three candi-
lates who replied, eighty-six favored
woman suffrage. seven were noncommit-
tai. and none opposed. or this same
number eighty favored the Federal
amendment and pledged their support to
It, nine were uncertain how they would
vote on IL, and only four said they would
not vote for H.
