Osaza, Oct. 27th. The favourable tera in relations between China and Japan is re garded with great antisfaction here, although business leaders are somewhat reticent owing to lack of information as to the real nature of the understanding reach- ed at the semi-informal conference at Nanking, between Dr. C.

It is understood an announce ment will be made very shortly by the Cunard Company regarding its plans for building a new liner to meet the competition of the White Star giant 60,000-ton ship nów being built and the new Ger man liners, Europa and Bremen.

The Cunard directors bave delay- ed placing an order for a new liner until they were in a position to judge fully the competition they will have to meet. The Mauretania cannot be expected to retain the Atlantic speed record much longer and the Cunard directors wished to be sure that their new ship will take her place as the fastest liner, in the world.

The new ship is likely to coat & record sum, for speed without luxury is uacleas on the Atlantic trade, and she will also have to be large-probably about the 1810 site as the new White Star liner.
