MAN0A MAY EARN
PURCHASE PRICE ON
FIRST MANILA TRIP

While no announcement has been
made of the cargo rate which the
Matson Company is to get for des,
patching the Manoa to Manila, it is
reported on the coast that the steam
er will earn almost as much on the
first round trip as was originally paid
for the vessel Freight rates across
the Pacific from Oriental ports now
range from $50 to $50.
One coast paper has the following
to say of the Manoa Manila voyage:
THE high freight rates to and from
Manila caused by heavy congestion
of freight on the Manila end since the
United States entered the war, have
attracted the Matsen Company into
transpacific trade The steamer Ma
noa, the first Of the Matson boats to
enter the new field, sailed for Manila
yesterday with large general cargo.
While her cargo earnings for the trip
are not publicly known, it is rumored
along the front that the vessel will al
most pay her purchase price in one
round trip"
