OCEAN RATES GOING UP.
Difficult to Book Space at Current
Quotations.

New York, Jan. 16.-Ocean freight
rates from New York were quoted to-
day at new high level Even at
current quotations it was difficult to
book space. The greatest increase
has been in space for provisions, the
rate having gone up approximately
100 per cent in the last week. Grain
rates are not quoted and cotton rates
are nominal as there virtually has
been no, cotton room to be had, it is
said, to the port of New York.
Two princil | reasons are. ascribed
by brokers: The withdrawal by the
British admiralty of all cargo space
except small amount on every ship
lying the British flag amounting TO
the complete taking over of every ves-
sci in the British merchant marine and
submarine activities cf the last month
that have sent many large freighters
to the bottom.
War risk Insurance has been kept
on a steady per cent. basis for
transatlantic risk and around 10 per
cent on Mediterranean risks since
the first of December. Shading CT
these risks have been for special car
goes and ships.

TO LAY DOUBLE TRACK.
a. {. l.. Contract for Work From
Florence to Lanes.

Florence to Lanes.
Florence Times.
1t is learned on very good author
ity that the Atlantic Coast Line has
let the contract for double tracking
it's line from here southwark. and that
work will be started at once on tho
section from here to Howes.
This will be of the geatest benefit
to III" company in enabling it to get
- trains in and out of Florence with
less delay. The experience of the
road With the time saved when the
work Of double tracking from here 20
Pee Dee was completed was a valu-
able object lesson.
This work will bring a large con-
struction force in this vicinity, who
will do large part of their trading
in Florence if they can get what they
want here, and from all reports that
we get, these construction gangs do
not get anything like the liquor that
they used to set. Their money is
spent for something else.
The Coast Line is already double
tracked from Lanes to Charleston and
this section has needed it badly for
some time. 1t is a big work that has
been undertaken, especially after the
heavy losses inflicted by the floods OF
last summer.
