"Dutch Shipping Company's ăn Per Cent.
The report of the Vrachtvaırt Maatschappij Bothnia for the business year 1915-16, ended August 31st last, states that during the year the company's ships were principally engaged in trading with North and South America. The majority of the voyages were for the purpose of grain carrying for account of the Dutch Government. The results were very favourable in spite of the enormously increased work ing expenses caused by the war, the high coat of insurance against war risks, and the much longer duration of voyages due prin cipally to the holding up of ship 1 in the ports of the belligerent Staten. These larger outgoings, together with the taxation on war
