Casgrain Sees Canal Plan Raise Rates in Senate
Senator Casgrain argued the St. Lawrence canal would raise grain rates rather than lower them. He cited May rates from Port Arthur to Montreal at under 7 cents per bushel and 1910 1915 Port Arthur to Liverpool at 10.72 cents, noting ocean ships would not compete with Great Lakes traffic. He warned a 10,000 ton tramp would cost about 40 000 for round trips and fail to profit, while lake carriers could move larger volumes with faster returns and higher revenue.
