TRAFFIC IN THE PACIFIC.
As we are informed here, the Pacific Wail Steamship Co., which came to an end last year, has been revived in the
form of the American International Corporation.
The firm of W.R.Grace & Co., San Francisco, has been in
the highest degree interested in the organisation of the Line.
The American, Stewart Elliott, who is at present at
Shanghai in the interests of the Company, announces that at first three ships will be run by the Lire under the American
Flag.
These consist of "Equador", "Colombia" and "Venequela"
which are already on their way from the Atlantic to San
Francisco.
The three Steamers are sister ships and are reported
to be most luxuriously fitted up for the accomodation of
passengers.
The time-table of the Company is the same as that of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co., that is San Francisco

The ships can carry freight up to a total of 5,000 tons. It is to be hoped that the American Flag which the se ships will carry, will really defend them from the action of the British Authorities; if it does not do so, Neutral Flags will be altogether of very little use to German and Neutral
exporters.
