CORRESPONDENCE.

THE NORDDEUTSCHER LLOYD

AND. MANILA.........

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " HÔNGKONG DAILY PRESS."]

DEAR SIR-With reference to your Radom Reflections of to-day, with regard to b Norddeutscher Lloyd steamer calling at Manila each month homeward bound, wo bag to state that the voyage from Yokohama to Europe will only be longthooed by about 12 to 24 hours, and not four or fire days as you write. Instead of learing here on Wednesday as before, the ships will sail on Tuesdays at noon and rencli Manila on Thursday morning, where they will stay about sir hours only to take the passengers on board, thus arriving at Singapore on Monday morning.

As regards your remark about a further loss of transhipment trade at Hongkong, we beg to draw your attention to the fact that the Imperi- al German Mail steamers do not take any cargo at Manila at all, but will call there for passen. gers only, and as for as the German Mail Line is concerned there will not be any loss of tran. shipment trade in this Colony. We beg to re main. Dear Sir, Yours faithfully,
