JAPANESE WOOL FREIGHTS
“INCREASE INEVITABLE” TOKIO, June 30. Referring to the proposal by Japanese shipping lines to raise freight rates on Australian wool during the coming season, shipping officials said to-day that an increase of 30 per cent was doubtful, but some advance was inevitable. The proposal, they said, was due, generally, to higher costs in every direction, which has increased freight rates on most lines already, and, especially, because the Australian wool freight rate had been unchanged since 1935, when it had been heavily reduced. At present they were negotiating with leading importers.
