The Price of Shipping.
In accordance with the universál tendency of the time, there is a movement on foot at Aberdeen to raise the rate of payment to policemen for whipping" offenders against the Law. The present rate is 2s. 6d. per cave, with another shilling for `esch additional offender on the same day,
the maximum payment
being 10s. for One day.
After a communication from the Secretary of State for Scotland, the Town Council decided to leave it to the discretion of the Chief Constable. If he finds any difficulty with the local "force," outaide labour could be obtained at the old rate. One does not know what amount of whipping the Aberdonians require to keep theni in order, but it ought not to be a whole time job for the executioner, Trade Returns.
Any one who finds encouragement in the oversea trade returns for September must be thankful for very small mercies. It is true that exports were about £4,000,000 higher then in August, but this is less than might have been anticipated after the coal strike, and in point of fact coal exports alone amounted to
моме
than the total increase. Compared with September, 1920, exports last month dropped by over sixty-two millions, and of this tremendous decrease fifty-eight millions was in manufactured goods. Comparisous both of imports and exports are, of course, complicated by the vast differences in prices now and a year ago, but on the most favourable view the figures just issued certainly reveal no signs of any real revival of trade.

LATEST SHIPPING, NEWS, Although everything seems to be in order, the receivers can refuse to be bound by the bill of lading when the shippers have not placed their names on the document. Sach rules may seem incomprehensible to us, but it is necessary for owners to see that the rules are complied with when their shipa sail to France, or expect to have to suffer the consequences, in case they disregard these formalities..
