Tokyo, October 27The effect of business depression on shipping is becoming very noticeable at Yakó- bama During the early part of the year the harbour congestion was so serious that ships were often waiting for weeks, outside the breakwater for a berth and lighters to discharge their cargoes. Now the number of arrivals is much reduced and many large freighters carry but few hundred tons of freight. The average daily number of vessels in port last month was 45. Last February and March the average pumber was over 100.

Compared with a year ago total number of arrivals has also decreased to a marked extent, but the tonnage has not fallen off in proportion. Vessels of a larger type are now on the trans-Pacific routes. The decrease has been in Japanese shipping, how. ever, as American and British vessels have increased both in number of arrivals and in tonnage. In Septem- ber 1919, tea American vessels with

KEY BRITISH-CHINA TRADE CORPORATION.

LONDON, November 5th. Colonel Armstrong, Chairman of the Federation of British Industries, presided at a meeting of representatives of leading British manufacturers, which discussed the formation of a British-China Trade Cor poration to take advantage of the charter giving British traders the right to develop the industrial area in China outside the Treaty Ports.

Sir John Jordan referred to the great commercial expansion in the interior of China in the past fifteen trars, and the increased export of native raw materials. The proposed corporation would develop the opportunities, Sir John Jordan doubted if any two peoples were more akin in commercial outlook than the British and the Chinese.

The Far Easters 'publicist, Kr. J. P. Bland, supporting the proposal, expressed the opinion that China's cheap labour was one of the vital face in the future of world's industry. He regarded the charter obtained by Major Nathan as most valu- able.

It was proposed to raise a "capital of £240,000 equally by British and Chinese subscriptions. The latter were willing to
