LUMBER FREIGHT.
STEAMSHIP LINES TURN DOWN PLEA FOR CUT.
Manila, July 9.
The petition of Philippine lum- ber manufacturers for a reduction in freight rates as a means of counteracting the effects of de- clining prices and mounting stocks has been denied by the Associated Steamship Company and affiliated steamship lines.
The lumber people, through the Philippine Hardwood Export As- sociation, urged that a revision of existing schedules be made, par- ticularly on bottoms operating be- tween the Philippines and Aus- tralia. The reason given was that the rates were promulgated many years ago when lumber was getting good prices in world mar- kets
W. W. Harris, president of the Philippine Hardwood Export As- sociation, declared yesterday that the present freight rates are en- tirely too high for existing conui- tions. He said that while Ameri- can exporters pay $12 per thou- sand board feet between San Francisco and Australia, local lumber men exporting to Austra- lía pay 75 shillings per thousand board feet or about $18. Lumber shipped from here to the United Kingdom is charged a freight rate of 87 shillings and six pence, which is equivalent to about $22 per thousand board feet.

United States recently grunted a ten per cent reduction in freight rates on lumber exported from the Philippines to American markets. European bottoms, however, have refused to make any cuts, he stated.
Local lumber men are watching with keen intercet the progress of hearings being conducted by the Federal Trade Commission on the Pacific Coast relative to the lifting of the bar against the use of the old trade-name "Philip- pine mahogany." The associa tion here urged that the prohibi- tion be lifted on the ground that Philippine lumber has been mar keted under this name for the pust twenty years and that in dropping the name, twenty years of advertising value would be
