Manchester Ship Merchants' Resolution.
The shipping merchants com- mittee of the Manchester Cham- ber of Commerce has recently been considering the question of dues charged by the Suez Canal Company, and at the meeting held recently the following reso lution was unanimously adopted for transmission to the Govern- ment.
That the shipping merchants committee of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, having regard to the present state of and the depression in trade urgent need for economy, is of the opinion that the high level of dues charged by the Suez Canal Company is operating seriously to the disadvantage of British trade with the East and to the ad- vantage of the Inter-Asinn trade and other competitive trades, which are free from the heavy burden of dues; and is further of opinion that the time has now come for substantial reduction in such dues. The committee, therefore, urges H.M. Govern- ment as the largest individual shareholder in the Canal Com- pany, to use its influence to secure a reduction to gold francs 5 per ton in the case of loaded ships, and gold francs 2.50 per cent. in the case of ships in ballast, in ac- cordance with the arrangement made in 1883 between British shipowners and the Canal Com- pany.
"The committee expresses the strong opinion that a policy of lower charges, calculated as it is to maintain and foster the flow of trade through the canal, is as much to be desired in the in- terests of the canal shareholders as in the users' interests."

The calamity of this age, and: one of the first problems to over- come, was that invention was too Too many things were) active. produced too easily, and every thing was too cheap.
This was the keynote of an im- promptu speech by Sir Alan An- derson at the annual banquet of the Honourable Company of Master Mariners in Merchant Taylor's Hall, London.
There were over 220 diners pre- sent in the historic hall, ladies watched the proceedings from the gallery, and mesanges from the
