NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE INDO-CHINA S.N. CO.
The Indo-China Steam Navigation Company recently announced that they proposed to increase passage and freight rates on the Sandakan- Hong Kong service by twenty per cent. as from, November 1st.
The proposed increase was not welcomed by Borneo merchants and the matter was taken up by the North Borneo Chamber of Com
merce.
It was pointed out that the existing rates for both freight and passages Sandakan-Hong Kong were already considerably higher then rates ruling for the Sandakan Singapore run, which is ani 5 day run compared with that of 5 days to Hong Kong, and a comparative statement was tabled which shewed that the rates of The Indo-China
Steam Navigation Co. were already high compared with rates to the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, and elsewhere.

SHIPBUILDING.
LLOYD'S ANNUAL REPORT:
MOTOR SHIPS INCREASING.
The annual report of Lloyd's Register of Shipbuilding for the year ended June 30th last takes ac count of twelve months of shipbuild- ing that were profoundly affected by the coal stoppage. Many fewer ressels were classed by the Society than in the previous year. They numbered 323, totalling 978,100 gross tors. Nevertheless, the Society has the satisfaction of recording that no less than 93 per cent of the tornage under construction in Great Britain at the end of June yna being built to Lloyd's register classi fication. And it is not only in Great Britain that the Society com mands such an unexampled in- fluence, Roughly, half the merchant shipping on the sens holds the classification of Lloyd's register, which is a proud record for a yoluntary society. In the result, there is actually more overseas ton- ange holding Lloyd's register classification than in Great Britain, the figures being as follows:-

ed shipping were classed last year, the plans of now ships submitted to the Committee of Lloyd's Register represented nearly double this figure. The tonnage projected last year, amounting to 1,831,900 gross tons, was greater than in any year since 1919-20, and, indeed, exceeded the figure for 1913-14. Comparative figures for several notable years are as follows:-

The ships projected last year are pow being put in hand. Nevertheless, the future is for the moment a little doubtful, and it cannot with any certainty be predicted that there is room for a large increase in mer- chant shipping. The total steam and motor tonnage recorded in the last edition of Lloyd's Register Book amounted to 63,287,300 tons, which shows no falling-off from re- cent years, though there is no doubt a gradual depreciation in quality.
The Rise Of Motor Ships. Of the 63,287,300 gross tons of merchant, shipping in existence in the world, some 50,000,000 tons are steamships and 4,270,000 toris motor. ships The last is the remarkable figure. In spite of a bad year in construction, motor ships made the
same stride as in past years, a stride of nearly 500,000 tons net increase in the year. The increase in motor tonnage from under a quarter of a million tons before the war to three-quarters of a million tons following the war and thence to the present substantial figure is remarkable. Periodic figures are as follows:-

There are now, to be found in the current Register Book 941 motor- ships of over 8,000 tons each, ag. gregating more than 2,000,000 gross tons, and including 88 vessels of over 6,000 tons aggregating 958,000 tons. The two most notable motor- ships classified last year by Lloyd's Register were the Bibby liner Shropshire, of 10,500 tons, and the Gulf Refining Company's tanker Gulpride, of 12,500 tons Anxtern Engineering.
