LIT OF EVENTS.
❘
Several years ago, the Portland-Asiatic Steamship Company had British etsarriers chattered for its Oriental trade. These were replaced by the present German vessels of the Hamburg-American linn, the Nicomeilia, Numantia and Alesia. Their place is to be taken by the Norwegians..
The Ryz/a has been fixed for three years at approximately $5,000 a month. The charter of the Hercuks is slightly under this figure. This charter manus about 3 shilling dead- weight. This rate is higher than prevailing prices, but of a long time charlor it is a low figure. Recently, vessels-have-been-staken-at- as low as 2 shillings, 6 perce, deadweight, but shipping mon regard the charters of the Norwegians as exceptionally reasonable con- sidsting that within three years freights are likely to take a considerable advance.
Why the Norwegian steamers have been taken to replace the Germans is unknown except that they are new vessels, splendidly adapted for haudling freight, and economically operated, Norwegian veriols are, as a rule, in command of good mästers, who are not only skilful navigatort" but" up-to-date business men."; It is expected that the Rygis, Herpules, and Sella will be altered so as to accommodate a few passengers.
