 Then, also, (he packing of several of our products varies, no standard 

 pack having been introduced; wliere such commodities are charged 

 for at the space occupied, the rate has been reduced to the equivalent 

 of per one cubic foot, and farmers Avishing to apply the rate to their 

 products exported can easily do so by calculating the cubic contents 

 of their package (length x breadth x depth) and comparing the 

 result with tlie rate at one cubic foot. 



In regard to cereals, the rates of freight are calculated on the 

 space occupied as comi)ared Avitli that occupied by maize. Generally 

 speaking, oats occupj' o2l per cent, more space than maize, barley 

 (which varies considerably) 10 per cent., and rye 5 per cent, more 

 space than maize. It is usual to measure each consignment.
