LOWER FREIGHT ON CARS
SHIPMENTS FROM AMERICA. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. A. and N.Z. New York, April 5. The Roosevelt Steamship Line, operating the American-Australian Line, Funch, Edye and Company, operating the Cunard Service; and Norton, Illey and Company, operating the Ellerman Lines, have announced a reduction of one dollar per ton on automobiles shipped from New York to Australia, and it is indicated that a further reduction will be made if competition with the Canadian merchant marine demands it. The situation arises from the Australian preferential tariff and the point of origin of motor-cars. Many thousands ol American motor cars formerly shipped by the above lines have lately been shipped by Canadian lines and it is expected that the adjustment'of freight rates will result in a resumption of the flow of this traffic through New York.
