FREIGHT ANOMALIES.
(To the Editor.) Sir, — The fall in freights from New Zealand recorded by you on Wednesday was followed by cabled advice to importers of a fall in freights to New Zealand. Rabbits, frozen, of which we export comparatively few, can now be sent to London for £6 10s per ton; but our main lines of beef and mutton have still to pay a crushing freight of £l6 13s 4d per ton. The export oi hemp from New Zealand has about ceased; so freight on hemp fails to £•• 10s per ton, while wool is £l2 13s 4d * Most surprising of all, cement inward bound is only charged £2 per ton from England. These are matters which deserve the earnest consideration of every farmc. —I am, etc., E. C. HOLMES.
