ANCHOR LINE REPORT.
THE CHINA
Earnings Reduced by Trade Depression.
The report of the directors of the Anchor Line, (Henderson Brothers), Ltd.. states that the company has experienced a most difficult year, but the services of the company have been regular- By maintained. The cffects of the general trade depression are reflected in the earnings for the year, which are considerably be- low those of the previous year.
The Glasgow-New York pas- senger business during the great- er part of the year was maintain- ed on
From an average level, October onward, however, the restrictive measures applied to immigration brought about an immediate curtailment of traffic, which was reflected in a drop in revenue. The volume of cargo in the Glasgow-New York service has been greatly reduced, and the eastbound revenue suffered severely from legislation restrict- ing the import of apples into the United Kingdom.
In the Bombay service passen- ger earnings were satisfactory.]' The exceptional political condi- tions in India seriously deduced the volume of exports and the homeward cargo position has been extremely had and rates have been on a very low level.

The directors regret to report that a special examination made at their request revealed serious defalcations by the late secre- tary of the company. Appro- action has been taken priate within the organisation to obviate as far as possible the possibility of a recurrence of such irregularities.
