Abstract: Indexes reflecting rates charged by voyage-chartered ships carrying heavy grain cargoes are presented. An index is shown for each major trade route in which the United States participates as well as a composite index covering all routes. All indexes demonstrated substantial annual fluctuations in 1961-69. Since 1965, the composite index has shown a declining trend.
