Mr. Penny's suggestion of a syndicate wanting to take over the entire concern at 850 a share (for sharos quoted at $35.50 ouly) was surprising, und not little alarming to those whose interest in British shipping is more patristic timn commercial.

Japan is Great Britain's ally, but in com- ierce it is every one for himself; and the expected revival and increase of enterprise on the part of the subsidized Japanese steamers will be sure to re-open the question whether it be not pissible, and desirable, for the Government of Hongkong to impose some port due or tax upon foreign steamers that will counterbalance the advantage they enjoy over British in the shape of subsidies. The CHAIRMAN stated that many fruitless

efforts had been made to come to some arrangement with the Japanear, the cause of the failure being darkly hint in his phrase “but you know the Japanese.” This may mean anything; but if it means that the Japanese fail to appreciate the measing of such mutual anderstandings as were here indiented, it was unjust; for it is a matter of history that the first overtures were made by the Japanese themselves, and flouted in such a way as to justify the comment, "but you know the Hongkong shipper." However, it is too late to talk of that now, and poiments, polite or other- wise, can be discarded. The point is that British shipping will soon have to fight barder than ever for its existence, let alone its predominance; and that it behoves the directors of British shipping companies to leave nothing undone or untried that can possibly help towards success.
