THE SHIPPING DISPUTE.
The hopes entertained by some that the differences between the Hamburg America Line and the Norddeutscher Lloyd might be settled amicably are, it would seem, not going to be realised, for the former continues to claim a greater proportion of the 70 per cent, of the passenger traffic allotted to it by the Continental combine which both have denounced. the same to terminate at the end of the present year, The general pool of which most if not all of the principal
steamer lines engaged in the North American trade, are members is also likely to come to an end, for although it was renewed, in October, 1011, for a farther term of five years, a proviso was added permitting of its being terminated sooner under certain circumstances, anil the seccssion of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, in consequence of disagreements with regard to the Trieste servite seems to have afforded the reason for doing so. More. over, the Gerinan bines allege that owing to the opening of the new lines from Emden, they are entitled to a greater share in the North Atlantic traffic than hus hitherto been recorded le therm They have both, however, declared them selve, willing to enter into negotiations for a renewal of the combine if certam concessions be made in their favour

It is to be hoped that between this and the New Year, an agreement may be arrived it, for failing it a period of free competition amongst the different Lines will ensue, with the inevitable catting down of rates to the detriment of all concerned. The value of the shares has not been seriously affected by these differences, shipping stock being generally in favour with the public. Altogether a fairly steady tono prevails in the stock markets, although the demand is not very active and chiefly of a professional character, aloney appears to be more plentiful, but the advance in the bank rate in London last week from 41 per cent, to 5 per cent, precludes all hope of the Reichshank lowering its rate this site of Christmas, besides the new issues of different
