Toronto" Globe. Unless some action is taken short. lybring grain-carrying rates from Montreal to European ports nearer fie level rates from New York, there is a real daoger that the supremacy of the St. Lawrence route will he- como a | ing of the past, 'and the great flow golden grain from the heatfields of the Canadian North-west will be diverted to an American port. The otean shipping rates for the mouth of June, which are now in the hands of the grain-exporters, show a difference of one and a half to nearly two and a hall cents a bushel in favor of New York and other American ports. This means that in order to make a compara- tive rate from Fort William to Ede. ope the grain carriers onthe Jakes must cut their figures to a mark that will leave little if any woom for profit. According to the opinions expressed by a number of shipping men yesterday, they have no inten- tion of doing this. A comparison of rates from William to Furope shows the tion clearly. The lake rate ort William to Georgean Bay or Buffalo is the same--namely, and a half a bushel. The rail rate from Buffalo to New 'ork is 4.00 a bushel with the rait rate from Georgian Bay ports to Montreal four cents. To the ship- ping port the Canadian route has thus an advanta; over its rival of 90 per cent a bushel, which is im- proved to 1.50 where the grain: is brought the who eway by water. From this point the advantage is all the other way. The ocean rate from Momtreal to Liverpool and Manchester is 3 3-4 cents a bushel, while boats of the [same steamship line are carrying the in from United States ports for 63, To other Eu poifite " difference is greater.
