Results of Nippon Yusen Kaisha.
In his address to the shareholders of the Nippon Yusen Keisha at the half-yearly meeting In Tokyo, the vice-present, Mr. N. Ohtani, said the net loss of 640,000 yen was, needless to say, due to the persia- tently continuing world depression of trade and industry. As far as Japan was concerned, he said she was placed in a peculiar financial and Industrial predicament as a result of the removal of the gold ban and of the stringent, retrench- ment being exercised all round He regretted that he saw yet no sign of an early recovery, and that they company's business would
