PASSING IT ON.
SHIPPING FREIGHTS AND RATES. By Telegraph—Press Associatian. Dunedin, Last Night. The directors of the Union Company have decided, in view of the advance in wages recently granted to waterside workers and seamen and other increases contingent on these, it has become necessary to revise the present rate of freight and passage money. New Zealand coastal cargo rates will be increased by 3d to Is per toil, then intercolonial | rates by Is '3d to Is 6d per ton, and an addition of 5 per cent, will be made to all passage rates. In making fhese increases, say the directors in an authoritative notice supplied to the press, it is not seeking to recoup itself for full additional charges, but the company is itself absorbing onethird of the extra expense. The increased rates take effect from the 15th inst. in New Zealand, and on the 14th and 17th for Melbourne and Sydney respectively.
