Freight costs via Pacific Railroad versus New York route
The piece compares tea imports to the Atlantic via San Francisco and a Pacific Railroad route with costs. It calculates tares from China to San Francisco, then to New York, totaling about four and a half cents per pound, and contrasts with two cents via Cape of Good Hope to New York plus three months’ interest, totaling five and a half cents. It notes higher-priced teas justify the Pacific route only if teas are costly. For fifty cent tea, New York route costs about three and three-quarters cents, roughly three-fourths of a cent cheaper than the San Francisco route.
