BASIS OF CONVERSION OF CARGO UNITS TO TONS

Note.—Weights of carcasses and quarters vary from year to year owing to seasonal differences and/or preponderance of mutton to lamb. For the year 1940-41 the contract system was not in force from the beginning of the year, and the 1941-42 weights were accepted as a basis. FIGURES CONSTANT FOR ALL YEARS Cheese : 12f crates to ton. Wool: 1 bale = 350 lb. Butter : 64 lb. per box. Hardwoods : 333£ s/ft per ton. Frozen sundries: 60 lb. per freight Softwoods : 500 s/ft per ton. carcass. Fruit: 25 cases to ton.
