Freight B

Producer

(Iy John fellatio) UITAWA. March 30 -¢CP)- How stiff a wallop will the tail- wsy freight-rate increase hit at the pocketbook of the man who roots the bill-the consumer? That's s tough one to answer- snd probably no one esp answer it immediately. ' There's no doubt it will stud the grocery bill up. and the fuel bill and the clothing bill and the cost of running the family car. But it's doubtful if anyone can say new how much o! the 870.- 000,000 a year involved will be passed on to the man at the end of the line. though certainly he'll pay for a good chunk of it.

One immediate boost, it appear- ed, would be in the price oi coal. Dealers indicated they would pass along to the customer the whole of a 25-oents-a-ton increase order- ed by the Board of Transport CummlSSllJ n.

The ultimate cost of practically all commodities. was sure to go up by varying amountsi But just how much depended on three var- fables:

l. Tho extent to which the charges are absorbed between the producer and consumer.

2. Extent to which tlie middlemen apply percentage markups-margin of profit.

3. The place where the con- sumer lives, since varying rail hauls will bring different in- creases in the cost of trans- port.

It looks as though the middle- mim-wholesaler, distributor, re~ taller, jobber--wouldn’t lose on the deal, but the producer might have to share losses with the con- sumer.

Many producer goods-such as livestock. wheat and farm pro- duce generally-are sold on a "de- livered" basis.

Right now, it's regarded as im- possible to tell how the laws of economics, of supply and demand. will work out in this case. it has been more than a quarter-century since Canada has liad a freight- rate jump, arid times have chang- ed greatly.

Son-ie hold that a freight-rate increase may jolt the market en- ough to give the livestock pro- ducer—for instance-enough in let him break even on the deal.

On gasoline, an increase mighj. be in prospect for the West.

Steel costs will go up. The charge for moving a ton o! steel between Nova Scotla and Ontario will rise as much as $1, depending on the type oi steel.

Maritime potatoes shipped to Toronto will cost about six cents more a ‘IS-pound bag. From On- tario points, the hoist will be two or three cents.

Meat prices may be affected by up to two cents a pound. depend- ing on how the charge is spread around.

The cost of a ton oi fertilizer for a farmer will rise by 40 cents or more.

The cost; of laying down West- ern butter in the East. will be up about two-thirds of a cent, though the ceiling will force producer: and distributors to absorb this. The new rates will add between $8 and $14 to the cost of a farm- er's tractor, depending on where he buys it. Automobiles also will be up, though the amount has not been worked out.

Canned goods will be affected to the amount of perhaps one cent a can.
