programme orders, for the con- struction of 74,000 tons (Y.29,000) have been placed already, leaving 240,000 tons to be contracted for. Freight on Tea.
A curious situation has arisen among Indian and Ceylon tea planters owing to the question of freightage. While the Indian planters are fortunate in having a contract with the shipping com- panies which does not expire till September next, the Ceylon plan. tors have no contract, with the result that they are compelled to pay heavy increase in freightage. The Indian freightage works out at something like 478 6d a ton, or d per lb., as against 2438, the present Ceylon freightage, or 24d per lb. Negotiations are taking place with the shipping companies with a view to an increase in the Indian freightage. The position as it affects the Ceylon tea planter was explained to a Press repre- sentative by an authority. "The situation," he said, "is becoming a very serious one. Increased
charges which have also risen, means an increase in cost of over 800 per cent. I know of no other article which has risen to such an extent." Illustrating the rise in the freightage charges, this authority pointed out that in July, 1914, the figure was 33s per ton, in August the following year it had risen to 80s, in March last to 1028 6d, and last December to
