AUSTRALIAN SHIPPING
THE COASTAL SERVICES. A FREIGHT WAR BEGUN. ♦' " * (United Press Association.) ■ (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) SYDNEY, October 3. (Received Oct. 1, at 10 p,m.) A freight war has been begun in the coastal shipping services of Australia at the instance of the Patrick Line, whose two small steamers have repeatedly made Serious inroads ' into trade which was originally handled by large interstate shipping companies. The Patrick Line’s rates have been reduced by 20 per cent, but the associated companies to-day fired a broadside by announcing reductions in freight from 2$ to 5 per-cent below that of the Patrick Lino. It is calculated that the saving to shippers-will thus aggregate £200,000 per year.
