I'm unsure about today's costs, but I remember from a promotional video made by the Lake Carriers' Association called "The Long Ships Passing" that in the early sixties, when the movie was made, that a ton of bulk raw material could be carried for less than the cost of a carton of cigarettes at the time. Actually a quite interesting movie to see--it is available to watch digitally from the GLMI.
