These are golden days for owners of ocean freight steamers. The rate on wheat from New York to Liver- pool:is 36 cents a bushel,:about seven times a normal ‘charge. The owner of a vessel makes $60,000 more than a normal profit in carrying a cargo of 200,000 bushels from New York to Liverpool, and proportional profit to all -othex. open ports of Europe. Ocean freight rates on other commod- ities have advanced relatively: as much as those on wheat. The high ocean freights are due to the disap- pearance of German vessels from the sea and the diversion of many Eng- lish, French and Italian merchant shipe to. war uses. The element of risk cuts some figure but it is nob an important factor, for war insur- ance is obtainable for a miximum of 2 per. cent, and from that down to less than 1 per cent. i g
