The report declares that in one year
that if American exports maintain the
December, 1914, level the Increased
rates will make a charge of 3310,224,400
on American shippers and that the
imports be included on the same basis
of calcultion, the amounts Would
reach 3311.304,400* or 141.6 per cent
over the usual cost. If normal rates
are taken in conjunction with the ab-
normal on the December basis, the
freight charge on both exports and lm-
ports in a year would make the grand
total of $582,1 10,000.
The report contains several score
letters from busitesa men over the
country declaring their inability to get
bottoms for their freight and charging
discrimination by such carriers as are
in business against freight that pays
a low rate and the breaking of con-
tracts by at least one of the big trans-
Atlanti steamship companies.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 35.—Evidence
of extraordinary advances in trans*
Atlantie freight rates since the out-
break of the European war, amounting
in somne instances to 900 nnd even 1150
per cent, was presented to the Senate
1 today in a joint report from Secer-
taries McAdoo and Redfield.
•While this report is being written."
the statement says, "information is
received that rates are higher than
those presented and that even at these
extraordinary figures it is difficult to
obtain cargo space for eariler salhings
than March and Aprk/"
The report contains numerous tables
of rates on various commodities from
American to European ports and sum-
moarixes the principal advances since
Aug. 1 last as follows:
New York to Rotterdam On grain.
900 per cent; on flour, 500 per cent;
on cotton, 700 per cent.
New York to Liverpool on the same
port, "that the greatest .increases in
yates and the heaviest tax has been
made upo(i the products In which the
American farmer is most concerned,
namely, grain and cotton.
"The Government bas no power to
ontrol or regulate ocean {reight rates.
The steamship owners cn increase
rates without notice and upon the in-
giant and our business men are help-
less."
The report concludes with an argu-
ment in favor of the ship purchase bill,
in which the Fetate is reminded that
such unusual freight charges. if con-
tinue, may result in reating a big
balthce of trade against this Nation.
It points out that American ships in
