THE NEW BATES ON EXPORTS. The liev. - races of freight op Sow Zenland exports came, into operation on Tuesday, and show substantia! advances !ob those of 1910-17. The advance is [ heavier than thai shown in the cable hereunder, when pre-war rates are eon- ' sidcred, for then wool was jjd per pound for greasy, and 'butter 2s Gd per box, i and cheese id pel pound; and hemp was Sos per ton. The 191S wool rate and rates on some other items have been collected prior to January 1. The increase may be ascertained from the following table:—
All phis 10 per cent. The Imperial Government, as charterer of the tonnage, has made the advance in the rates. The shipping companies are interested only to the extent of their charters at a Blue .Book, or fixed rate, and presumably they do not participate in the increased rates charged.
