For all this merchandise one dollar maximum per ton for Lofu is not too high and this would give .65 from Taipo per ton
a rate which will allow us to compete against the junk rate
of ten cents per picul It is not safe to count on more
so that if we assume five cents per mile we get 536,195 ton miles carried at a total of $26,909 seeing a high nominal rate is
four per ton for the ordinary traffic we can claim one-fifth of this or $6,702 to go to our sharez
