BRITISH PORT DUES.
LONDON, July 29. The Traders’ Co-ordination Committee on Dock Charges, including representatives of the Chamber of Shipping, the Association of Chambers of Commerce, the Federation of British Industries, and many other trading associations, complain against the continuance of the present high rates. They point out that there has been practically no reduction at British ports for the past seven or eight rears, though wholesale prices have fallen by 34 per cent., and freights 33 per cent. Dues per ton on ships discharging whole cargoes of grain work out at 5d at Belgian ports, 7.21 d at French ports, 5.02 d at Dutch ports, 10.81 at German ports, and 19.73 d at the ports of the United Kingdom.
