148 AUSTRALIAN BALANCE OF INTERNATIONAL receipts of British vessels are expended in foreign ports. Assuming that this figure is approximately correct, it is calcu- lated that the proportion expended in Australian ports on a typical voyage during this period amounted to 20 per cent. This estimate can be confirmed from other sources. Two series of voyages to Australian ports have been analysed in great detail by W. G. Rickman.2 The first series comprised 14 sample voyages in which grain cargoes were lifted in every Australian port handling wheat. The wheat shifted amounted to 94,607 TasLe XXVIII Freight Index on Imports from Great Britain 1901 . 1902 . 1903 . 1904 . 19056 . 1906 . 1907 . 1908 . 1909 . 1910 . 911 . 1912 . 1913 . Year.

The average cost per ton was therefore approxi- mately six shillings. The second series embraced 15 sample voyages in which general cargoes were moved. The ports covered were all the principal points of entry in the Commonwealth. In all 59,425 ship tons were loaded at a total cost of £17 ,430, or an average cost per ton of 5s. 10d. On the average value of outward freight this represents a deduction of about 124 per cent. for port charges and other costs. It is probable, however, that these disbursements by the shipowners during the period were, since the Navigation Act was not then in force, more than offset by the earnings in the interstate trade.
