CONCERN
While the results of voyage dur. ing the year have on the whole been fairly satisfactory, states the annual report of the British India Steam Navigation Co., trade con- ditions throughout the company's sphere of operations have not been bright, and on a number of Hines served by the company freights have been unremunera- tive. The mail services have been performed with regularity. The directors are pleased to report that no serious accident occurred to any of the company's vessels during the year.
The Ben Line ss.. "Benvrackie" from Middlesbro', London, Straits and Philippines, is due to arrive here on Jan. 17.
