Reply.

Yes. Speaking generally, I

should say that these Con-

-ferences are undoubtedly

beneficial to the export

trade of the Colony. They

ensure stability of rates,

equal opportunities to all

classes of shippers, and

effectually preclude prefer-

-ential rates to any particul-

-ar nationality or class of

shipper. If they were declar-

-ed illegal, there would be

great fluctuation of rates,

and as, with the exception

of the P. & O. Company's

Steamers, no British vessels

are subsidised, the probabil-

-ity is that the Foreign

subsidised lines would quick-

-ly run the British lines off

the trade. This, of course,

is but conjecture. Against

this argument is the fact

that, in addition to the

three Conference lines
