Manchuria Railway Freight Discounts,
A Tokro despaich to the Kobs Yushin 1 quotes Mr. Oseki, D rept or of the Inspection Departmeis of the Imperial Railways, on ful- lows on the question of the pre- ferential railway freights in Man- chiris The American Consul At Dairen did not make a projet, as reposed, against the specia] raduction allowed by the South Manchuria Railway C. on the freights on Japanese goods, "An a matter of fact, the Consul only made pu enquiry of the companý as to whether the 30 per cent. "discount allowed on freights on "gccde impered into Manobaria via Dairea by the N.Y K..ond other Japanese steaméra under special contract would be extended to foreign shippers. When a speci alacale of freight ratos reduced hy 30 per cent. wae adopted in May last year, on ckyea, classes of goods, including cotton yaru and fabrics imported by the Antung- Mukilen lige via Korea; the S julh Manchurin Railway, fully respect, { ing the principle of equal oppor unity in China, notifed the foreign. Powore that the same privilege would ta oxtended to foreign gouds sunt direct from Japan. At railway conforenoo held last ath it we agreed that the term of the operation of the special discount should be extended for one year, so that, foreign shippers would enjoy the privilece longer.
The South
Marchuria Railway Co. is au- thorised to state in reply to the ezquiry of the United States con- sul on its own responsibility that the privilege will be extended to Americab gcode for another year.
