COASTAL FREIGHTS.
NORTHERN COMPANY INCREASES. When the recent increase in freights between New Plymouth and southern ports was announced it' was anticipated that northern freights would also go up before long. It is now announced that an increase in the charges for freight carried by the Northern Steamship Company's steamers has been decided upon. The manager (Mr. C. Ransom) has stated that it had been necessary to raise the rates, owing to the increased prices the company has to pay for coal, stores, etc., and also on account of the continual demand for higher wages from the employees. The new rates were only a little higher than the old ones, and varied somewhat. It is understood that the revised charges came into force on September 1.
