YORK, Everyone was aware that during last year, indeed, he might say during the last two years, freights had been in no sense in a con- dition which they might call booming, and in this company they had had what he might describe as some special drawbacks to contend with and which had seriously affected their resources and their revenue. Fint of all, ibero was the great fight which they had had at Antwerp with their German friends, a fight in which he might say that this company and the other companist concerned, all bled freely indeed. They had had a treaty of peace with their German competitors since May or June Ins, hot that treaty had not been operative so far as the receipts on freight were concerned, because, in their mutual eagerness to maintain the bassle, they all entered into engagements for many months forward. He would not enter into the cause of that dispute, but he would merely bay that. Antwerp as a port was more | necessary to them now than it had over heen before, because it was utterly impossible for ibem to fill their ships either to or from the Pori, of London alone. The trade with the Continent in connection with the Far East þad increased, and was increasing, and he feared that that tendency was likely to continue.

November, 1907, it was unanimously resolved mised for several years legislation in the direc- tion of settling the future authority of the Port af London, and he belierad they were very near now to the achievement of a project of that character. On that subject he knew nothing nore than the man in the street, but he would vanture to make this observation-that when the port authority was constit sted, ho sincerely. hoped that the improvement and the extension of the facilities of the Thames would take rather the direction of being increased at the mouth of the river than up the river, la the vicinity of the Victoria Docks. In saying so be was con troverting the opinion which he once held on this | subject kimsef, for at one time he had, moved and carried so important instruction in the ouse of Commons requiring the Conservancy le deepen the river in order that deep docks |should, be constructed in the vicinity of the ptaient Albert Docks, ・ Hahad, however, I absolutely changed his mind on account of the increased and increasing size of vessels, and the necessity for the access of these great vessels to docks at the nearest approach in the River Thames, His change of view was also affected by this consideration-that since the Itime he proposed such a resolution, land car |riago had undergone a total revolution, for by means. of petrol and steam traction' they wers enabled, provided they had ́proper ronde and bridges, to bring the district of Tilbury an conveniently near to the centre of London as |the Albert Dock was at the present moment.

Regarding their trade with Japan, he stated that their share of the trade from Bombay to
Japanese ports had been practically wiped out This, he believed, was owing to the fact that be Japanese Government; had forced their shipowners to increase their departures from. Bombay to such an extent that so far as the freight to Japan was concerned, they had been completely left out in the cold. In connection with their Colonial trade between Bombay and Chips, a great extent of the trade consisted in
