THE PHILIPPINE SHIPPING

TRADE

The British Consular Report on the trade and dommerce of the Philippine Islands for the year 1909, by Mr. G. H. Phipps, Acting Consul General, has just been received. We deal with the main features of the Report in a leading article and below we give in fall the Consul's comments on the shipping of the Islands

A reference to the tables will show that the position occupied by British shipping in the factory one. In 1909 British vessels carried 63 arrying trade of these islands is a very satis per cent of the total value of the imports and per sant. of the exports, the nosrest compat- 15 per cent, of the imports and 7 percent, of the exports, This shows an advance over the Agures for 1908, in which year British bottoms carried ander 60 per cent of the importa and mier 80 per cent. of the exports.

The tonnage movement in the foreign trade of the islands shows that the total entries have increased from 1,492,562 tons in 1903 to 1,517,485 tone in 1909, of which those under the American vessels an increase of 73,882 tons and British dag show an increase of 11,521 tons,

Mr. Gardiner informed his Lordship that the promises had boon lot to the defendant since September, 1908, and defondant was in ncempa tion until 3rd August last. No notion was given of the intention to loave, and defendnut loft on the 3rd August without giving notice and haying only paid the rent for the months of July, Plabitiff was now seeking to recover the $25 for the month of August. Four dollars and three cents had been paid into Court with donia! of liability.

Mr. Harris said his case was that on the 5th August plaintiff had remained possession of the promisos and let to another tenant.

Plaintiff in his evidence deposed that he was the tonsut of the first floor of No. 176, Queen's Road East, which contained eight rooms. He let-two-rooms-to defendant about eighteen months ago at the agreed monthly rental of $25. Defendant vacated the premises on the 3rd August without giring notice written or verbal, and the premises were not Jet to anybody as for the month of August.

In cross-examination plaintiff said

The artaugement was new one by which defendant, becams tenant of two rooms. notice of intention to leave was given to him and he did not think that any notice was given to his wifo. In the interview which took placo ou the 3rd September with defendant ho' saw both Mr. and Mrs. Boaltor. Mr, Boulter asked if he had come to collect the ront and witness r plied that he had. Mr. Bonlter said, "I'm afraid you won't get it." Witness rejoined that ho would try conclusing with him and thrash the case ont. Mrs. Boulter made the remark that his (plaiutiff's) wife war fond of going to Court, and Le answered that she was not, but all the sardé she had a perfect right to go there if au injustice were done her. Neither Mr. nor Mrs Boulter gave any reason why they would not pay the rent.

ME. TAFT'S SUGGESTIÓN.

The new moter engines, I am told, cannot be fitted to ships built on the old lines. Therefore all our Dreadnoughts, our truisers, and one ocean greyhounds will have to go to the sorap heup. to this there is ne alternative, As soon as this contingency, which may shortly be confronted, is recognised by all the Powers interested, then the psychological moment will have come for discussing whether the race for naval construction is to be in over a ain, or some ratio of the amount to be expended each year can be agreed upon by the naval Powers, Then, and only then, would President Taft's suggestion find favont in the eyes of the majority of the nations and bear desirable fruit.

Prices would rise and the development of the island be greatly retard- ed. It is probable that upon the completion of the Panama Canal, which is boud to have a highly stimulating effent upon American hip ping a the Pacific, an effort will be made to bring about the application of the costing trade laws, bat it is most unlikely that any such step will be taken before that date.

A matter of interest in shipping circles in 1909 was the broach between some of the lead ing Beal hemp oxporters and the Und Kingdom Conference. The great and unex- pected development of the export of unchuria beans from the ports of Dairen and Newchivang to Europe in the autumn of the year absorled so mash of the available space on vessels belongsrail in saving the huddled transports from ing to the Conference, that froights from Manila to London and Liverpool rose to 31. 10s, per ton of 104 cubic feet.

The Motor Boat's description of oil engines in course of constraction for the Royal Navy, and the announcement that they are to be fitted im- mediately in latleship of the Dreadnought type have, not unnaturally, attracted much attention.
