MARGOMSS AT 300 A MINUTE GREAT ADVANCE ON CABLES. ———nil [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] {United Press Association.] London, July 2.

Mr Godfrey Isaacs said it was quite possible for the Marconi Company to transmit across the Atlantic twentylive million words annually. Rates were already 30 per cent, cheaper than the cables wherever they were in competition. Wireless cost so little to establish that it would become cheaper and cheaper with every improvement which enabled them to increase the load. The Carnarvon and Belmar stations marked a new epoch in wireless. They would be able to despatch and receive with as much certainty and secrecy as the submarine cable at a third less cost, and still have a large profit. Marconi had assured him that when the mechanical appartus was complete for automatic wireless telegraphy, there was no reason why it should not send and receive three hundred words a minute. The Marconi Company had already wirelessly telephoned six hundred miles, and contemplated telephoning from Carnarvon to New York. The connecting of Glace Bay with Montreal would enable the Marconi Company to cater effectively for Australian requirements and free thcSPacific cable from the impost enacted by the Atlantic cable for the time and date of filing messages and for delivery of duplicate and triplicate copies to customers, and also enable the Pacific Cable Company to arrange for a suitable week-end letter service. Moreover, the twopence-a-word paid to the Atlantic companies for transmitting from Montreal to the cable landings would accrue to the Pacific cable, while the Marconi Company was in a position to quote the Pacific cable Atlantic rate of sixpence a word for ordinary messages. _______ PRESS AT A WORD. (Received 9.5 a.ra.) London, July 2. Mr Godfrey Isaacs added that the Marconi departmental heads were endeavoring to arrange for Press cables from Canada to England at a halfpenny a word.
