WE have been informed that there were inaccuracies in the title of a block which we pub lished on page 37 of November PIM.
We inferred that Mr. R. Beim, of the New Hebrides Trading and Shipping Co. was cutting freight rates between Sydney and the New Hebrides. This is not so; his freight rates are the same as other Aus tralian shippers; where he has the advantage, however, is that his “Vila Star” can tie up in places where larger freighters cannot. Con seouently, there is no charge for lightering which means an advan tage of about £l/5/- per ton.
