JAPANESE SHIPPING.

RUKOUES OF BANKRUPTCY.

Commenting upon the shipping trade in Japan, the Japan Advertiser sayy

A few shipowners are reported.to be in a state of bankruptcy although they made no public declaration as yet. This is only another sign of the aggravation of the shipping situation. It is true that some tonnage is required in connection with the Japanese expedition to Nikolaievsk and Saghallen, but the demand is limited and is only of a temporary character and is of course not sufficient to counteract the depressing influence exerted by a number of large ocean- going ships which are being released from old charter contracts without prospect of being chartered again by

others.

Compared with shipments on the voyage from Japan to America, those for the return voyage have hitherto been pretty large, but these shipments have now also declined and the tone of the market is weaker. Freight rates, however, are unchanged, $5, or $6 being quoted for general cargo from Japan to America.

Mr. Farncombe, who gave evidence" on subpoena for the defence, was cross-examined by Mr. Disternal

Counsel: Did you realise that
