SHIPPING NOTES.

HIGH FREIGHT RATES AT HOME.

Our London correspondent writes A matter that is

18 concerning Far East as much as anywhere is that of the higher freight rates now ruling in the shipping world. I know many 'British manufacturers are hesitating about plunging into the China market till the charges on this head and lower The situation is satisfactory cgi to those who can provide the tonnago necessary. Unfortunately, the difficulty is shortago of seamon. We are paying for the excessive employment of aliong in the past. The danger was foreseen, but never provided against and now that the alien can no longer be freely employed, there is the inevitable result. Owing to this shortage of scamen we cannot employ moro than a portion of the tonnago available and seamen are getting what, in normal times would be considered quito outrageous wages: There is a shipping. boom, owing to the demand for vessels by the Government, but whether it will be maintained after the war is another matter.

THE BLUE FUNNEL LINE.

BILIOUSNESS.

There are many causes of this complaint, but they all spring from i disordered liver which does not properly fulfill its functions, especially in a warm climate, when it becomes sluggish in its action. The bile is turned from

its proper channel, and enters the blood, and the person so affected is demoralised throughout his entire system.

The presence of biliary poison in the blood upsets the entire digestive system, and is the chief- cause of sick headaches. It also causes dull pains and uneasiness in the right side and shoulder blade, a bitter taste in the mouth, sudden dizziness on rising, spots floating before the eyes, furred tongue, bad breath, howels loose one day and constipated the next. All or any of these symptoms, may accompany the bilious condition, and while so affected life is scarcely worth livings

FREIGHT-CHARTER MARKETS IN THE NORTH.

The Manchurian Daily News (Japanese) of December 15th contains the following paragraph: A fleet of altogether 30 ye sels, with gross tonnage of about 87,000, comprising one-third of the total re gistered in the Kwantung Leased Terri- tory will be relieved of Government service as military transports within a fortnight. This prospect has already weakened the steamer freight and charter markets of Japan, No new charter party, save that for five vessels recently cb rtored as colliers, etc., by foreign mer- chants for service in the Bouth Séa waters, has been contracted so far, consequence, the charter money has sharp- ly declined. Freights are also expected to fall.

MANILA SHIP FOR TRANS PACIFIC TRADE

The honour of being the first vessel ro- gistored in the Philippines to sail from the port of Manila for the United States: belongs to the Madrigal steamer Rio Pasig, which was dispatched last week by Macleod & Co. for Seattle vid Nagasaki. The Rio Prain took 20,200 bales of hemp.

Although the tio Pasig is one of the few large vessels to fly the American flag and be cogistered in the Philippines, says the Cablenews, her charter was obtained be fore the outbreak of the war. The vessel was formerly the naval collier Alexander, and was sold to Vicente Madrigal, the Manila coal dealer and broker, about a year ago.

The recent exploits of this, vessel and her capture by the British au- thorities and final release at Hongkong by the prize court, is well remembered by all renders The Hio Pasig has been chartered by Macleod & Co. to engage in the trans-Pacific trade....
