Traffic Loss Through Trade Depression.
THE CHINA MAIL.
December was the Manchester Ship Canal Company's second best manth of 1930 ns regards traffic ro- ceipts, the beat being June. There is not much satisfaction, however, in that, as special receipts always come in at half-year ends, and it is necessary to compare the figures with those for corresponding months in previous years. When that is done the December amount shows a decline of £1,884 from 1929, when the conditions as regards derating were the anni), and nearly £11,000 from 1928, subject, how ever, in the latter case to an allow unce, the amount of which has not been stated precisely, for the fact that the derating complication, did not arise until October, 1929. Last year's traffic receipts are позу officially reported to have been £1,395,567, or £199,217 less than in 1929, The actual position, how- ever, was at least £10,000 bettor than that. When dèrating came Into operation, the company being

It appears to be pag- sible that these reductions exceeded the amount saved in fates, but ship- ping depression, consequent upon the stagnation in Lancashire trade, must have been the main cause of the fall in the traffle receipts, and the strike in April was also an im- portant one. The last traille re- turn before the present, one stated: "Against the reduction in receipta the company have savings in local rates and from decreases, in other expenditure to November 30 which amount, approximately, to £40,000.

In ordinary houses, the idea of following a definite period in de- coration has been dying during the past decade and some of the modern furnishings on shore are exquisite to a degree. Yet the ship decora- tor hesitates--possibly he is in- structed to hesitate before" break- ing away in the least from 88- tablished conventions: The result is admittedly, usually very at- tractive, but it does not wholly coincide with modern idens, nor does it always attune itself with the atmosphere of the ship sa whole.
