OCEAN FREIGHT RATES
VIEWS OF MERCHANTS. London, March 25. The secretary of the Australian Merchants' Association, in an interview, said that provided tho rates were reasonable the merchants would prefer tho steady system of freights which the Shipping Conference had hitherto maintained. This offered all the tonnage required. The merchants are urging a reduction of the present high rates, which they expected in the next few months. They would prefer a natural gradual reduction, which would cause the minimum iimount of interference. Any rate-cut-ting would seriously damago Australasian trade with tho United Kingdom— Aus.-N.Z.
