· COASTAL TRADE REVIEW.
A gradual improvement since the raising of the boycott was reported in coastal trade at Saturday's meeting of the Douglas Steamship Ltd. but, owing to the laying up of the "Haiyang" for over four months, what looked at one time as likely to be a profit was turned into a loss for the year's working. -
Prospects were reported to be considerably better for this year. Mr. H. P. White presided over the meeting, supported by the Hon. Mr. D. G. M. Bernard, Sir Robert Ho Tang and Mr. L. J. Davies (Directors), Mr. A. H. White (Secretary) and Messrs. S. T. Williamson, W. Macfarlane, C. L. Farmer, Chan Wing-kou and E. Abraham.
