000313601 520__ $$aReport Introduction:  Between 1961 and 1965, the United States exported 165 million long tons of heavy grain--corn, wheat, and soybeans.  The average value of this trade was about $2 billion annually, approximately half from wheat exports alone.  The cost of shipping grain by ocean freight has a marked influence on the competitive position of the United States in world grain markets.  Also, differences in rates affect the competitive positions of the various coasts as shipping points, and the interregional competition of the producing areas.  However, the free market nature of ocean freight rates for bulk commodities makes it difficult to obtain information on the general level of rates for grain shipments, their behavior over time, and the degree to which shipping rates from one coast affect shipping rates from the other coasts.  The U.S. Department of Agriculture conducted this study to provide such information.  In it, the causes of rate fluctuations were explored and a general theory of rate behavior was developed.
