Japanese Vessels fa the Mediterranean,
As already reported. (says the Japan Chronicle") the. Osyka Shosen Kaisha has opened a line to Marseilles, while private Japanese shipping concerns have also come to place an increased number of vessels on the Medi- terranean run. At present the N.Y.K. vessels on the Mediter- ranean run are only the Asia- maru and tha. Akebono-meru. The N.Y.K. has now decide to place-the. Kirishimayama-maru, on that run. Further the "Com-· pany has chartered the Wada- maru, 4.500 tops and the Kahiko- maru, 3 800 tons, both of the | Murai Kisen Kaisba, at Y42 per . ton for one year, to be delivered in April sext. The two vestela are also to be operated between Port Said and Marseilles. It is expected that there will be competition between the Nippon Yusen Ka'sha and the Osaka Shosen Kaisha in that part of the world.

Japan to supily 150,000 tons dea w.isht of ship- ping, and that the Government has consu ted the President of the Nippon Yusen i-hand the Osaka Shosen Kaisha on the matter.

These rates are rer the figures qucted in August last when the shipping market waB most active, the highest record being Y450 for the North American, sevice. At that tie the activity was largely specul- ative ineharacter, but the present advance in the charter rite is due to the actual demand for tonnage. That the Nippon Zusen and the Osaka Shosen Keisha are chartering so many steamers is regarded in some quarters äs & preliminary to Japanacceding to the Allies request for tonnage.
