OCEAN FREIGHT RATES
LOWER

One OF TIE substantial evidences OF
the return to normal conditions is the
reduction of ocean freight rates. The
general rate from Atlantic ports to
Great Britain now stand at 500 a hun
bred pounds, or Atty cents for each
cubic foot Of cargo space. The new
rates viii be decrease Of from sixty
to seventy-nve per cent in freight rates
Tho list Of commodities in the revised
schedule for which special rates are
nueted includes almost everything eS-
piorted by. the United States. The
Mounting costs Of ocean freight rates
have been one Of the greatest impede
1nents to. foreign commerce. and one OF
the greatest burdens upon both exports
ana imports. The very heavy redue-
lions already made do not restore
fre,sht rates to the conditions that pre-
vailed before the war. but they will
afford material. relief to trade OF all
kinds. On the one hand they will facili-
tate the shipment Of our raw materials
such as cotton and food products. while
on the other they will lower the costs
OF many necessary articles 'or manufac-
.nre VIC have to bring from abroad. The
ocean carrier has reaped golden har-
vest. during. the past four years. but the
dav Of the shipper is returning.
