Important Merger.
A Merger of a score of British steamship companies including the Cunard Line, Peninsular apé- Oriental, Commonwealth Domin- ion Line, Allan Line, Union Steamship Co. of New Zealand, and the New Zealand Shippieg Co., the British India Com and several smaller concerns has been! completed, according to a report circulated in shipping circles. Lord Inchcape, head of the P..& O. Company, will be the directing. head of the new company, it is [stated, and will direct the fleets,
than more
400 aggregating vessels, with a total valuation for the shipping and other pro- perties of about £400,000,000. The operating companies expect tabs able to effect a more economical administration of their vessels by" the merger, as it facilitates belter routing, will make easier the necessary transfers of afficers and crews for the best operating efficiency, will eliminate du plicated routings, and will con-.... solidate the numerous agencies, accounting thereby reducing expenses.
Suez Canal Company. The report of the Suez Cansl Company for 1916, which was adopted at the annual general meeting of the shareholders held in Paris on June 11, states that the position did not differ essentially from that of the previous year. Whilst the traffic passing through the Canal amounted to 15,266,155 tons ia 1915, this was reduced to 12,325,- 347 tons in 1916, which was a fresh drop in round figures of 3,900.000 tons, and added- to the previous losses of 4,100,000 in 19:5 and 600,000 tons in 1914. The rece pt, however, have not fallen in the same proportion, thanks to the increases of the rates which have been success- ively adopted. Those increases, however, had not been sufficient to counterbalance the diminution of the traffic of the Canal. The receipts. for special navigation dues showed a deficit of some $14,000,000, as compared with th-se of 915. The result of the current year, to which much importance was attached determining the dividend propos- ed for distribution, showed a new and profound depression. The ruthless submarine war which Germany anno inced to the wond on February 1 was certainly the principal cause of that new decline. The uncertainty of the immediate future required them to be more than ever faithful to their customary rules of prudence. Therefore, the council proposed to distribute a total net dividend. of of which only very slightly exceeds the actual profit for the year, and will leave to be carried forward an amount, very similar to that of the previous year. The total receipts for 1916 reached the sum of 89,04 1,976£ 830, ahow- ing. as compared with the ta receipts for 3915,a decrease of 9,183,822, 04c. The decrease- from transit dues alone amounted to 13,473,7698 62c, but there je 27. compensation to the extent of 4,289,947£, 58c, dustɔ the inc:essp. in the company's revenue, from
