Freight Rate Increases Move Toward 10 Percent Rise
The New York Central and other lines filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission to raise rates on coffee 27 to 30 cents per 100 pounds and sugar 26 to 28 cents per 10 pounds, effective August 1.

Analysts expect a wider rise of roughly seven to ten percent across major routes as shippers prepare for higher costs.
