New Year there has been little improve ment in the local market:-thare has been a fair demand for ton- nage from Dalny to Swatow and Amoy but, although British tonnage is still not participating in this trade, rabes have not exceeded 30 cents a pled.
The training course lasts six months and is to cost: each pupil 100. It is a condition, of the scheme; that everyone who taken
advantage of it should be prepared to pay his own way to Australia, and get there with at least £250 in his pocket
A fair amount of business is re- ported done from Saigon and Rana goon to Shanghai, but the market in that direction is now quiet..
