SALL OF THE STEAMER "CANTON,"
Some days since we reported that, the Indo- China Steam Navigation Company had been negociating with a view to the sale, to the Jap anese government, of their steamer Canion. This statement is now practically confirmed, for we understand that negotiations will be completed with the receipt of the surveyor's re- pert regarding the state of the ship. We also understand that the price to be paid is £10,500 which, we believe, represents more than one-
half the book value of the ship
⠀⠀⠀ OTHER INQUIRIES. It is reported that inquiries for certain other boats of the Indo-China Company's big fleet have been made with a view to purchase by the Japanese Of course at this stage of the negociations it is impossible to obtain any definite official confirmation of the report; but that the Japanese are bent on acquiring some of the desirable steamers of this Company is well-known in local shipping cirices.
