G-eii t ' emcii: ZINC COCICTJ: Referring to your telegram of the 2b tb Inst., beg to advise we have been endeavoring to get the agents of the s/S "Admiral Sebree" to quote us a more favorable rate on Zinc Oxide. They have Just advised that the very beat rate they can quote is .$19.00 per ton. They are not at all anxious for this freight owing to the difficulty In obtaining permits to move the goods from interior points. We made them an offer of $17.00 per ton besed on weight, but they refused. As we would have to stand the freight from works to steamer, as well as transfer charges from San Francisco to South San Francisco,together with insurance, we figured that the saving In freight would hardly warrant us in bringing the goods to Hew York, and therof ore Instructed the N.J. Zinc Co. to ship by rail as usual. * Very truly yours, t .> W. P. FU1US * CO. i
