THE STRAITS SETTLEMENTS IN 1900.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON TRADE.

The tonnage of Gorman shipping in these waters has enormously increased of late and the Germans have principally benefited from the action of the Shipping Conference, which by arbitrarily raising freights has tended to drive trade to other neighbouring ports. Pro-. duce, for instance, is now shipped direct from Macassar which formerly found its wayto Singa- pore. Of late years trade with the Philippines has declined, copra, coffee and other produce being now shipped direct to Europe or America. There is still a considerable import of hides. It is impossible to say at present what effect the transfer of these islands from Spanish to Ameri- can rule will have on the trade of this Colony From a Bangkok pupar it appears that whereas formerly 80% of the shipping that entered that port was British, now Germany has the lead. Of the 440 steamers that entered the port in 1900, 44 per cent. were under the German fing and 38 per cent, under the British.. Of the total valise of cargoes from foreign countries, 58 per cent. came by German vessels and 34 per cent. by British. Of the outward cargoes to foreign countries, 54 per cent. went in German, and 34 per cent, in British bottoms. It is of the utmost importance that, in view of the increasing com petition for the carrying'trade in these waters, the Government should endeavour to increase the facilities of its ports and take every means in its power to foster trade. The Tanjong Pagar Dock Company has, by a large expenditure of capital, provided wharves and docks which have, until recent years, proved sufficient for the requirements of the Port; but it has become a matter for serious consideration whether the time has not come for the for mation of a Harbour Trust.

The Tanjong Pagar Dock Company has secured a virtual monopoly of the Wharves and

· Docks at Singapore, and there is a danger lest the imposition of in reased tariff charges for the immediate benefit of shareholders may tend to direct shipping to foreigo Parts.

When the Steamer Pier at Penang is com.. pleted, it is intended that a Haibour Board shalt be vested with the management of the wharves and goods landing sheds.

RIVALRY AMONG P. AND 0. STEAMERS.

AN AMUSING ANECDOTE,

For some considerable ting past there has been a dent of friendly rivalry between the officers and crews of the P. and 0. mail seamers Osiris and. His 'as to which was the fastest steamer of the Mediterranean, and each insisted on their own opinion and flew a cock at their respective foremasts as the outward and visible mark of being The Cock of the Walk." On the 5th instant, some daring spirit from the Osiris, at the dread hour of 3 am.. captured the outward emblem of power from its proud position on board the Isis and great jululation was heard on their when the fit had toleave without her cherished emblem. The adage that they laugh best who laugh last, however comes in well in this story, as a few days ler an, officer from the /iis climbed the foretast of the rival vessel, and quickly was the bird captured, and before the Osby crew had well begun their tifftu, their bird bad down from the foremast to the main- nast of the fais, where; at Brindisi, it will bea tangible proof that its late owners are nowhere. The dinner on the Isis that evening had among the poultry

Coq à l'"Osiris,"

The Isis clearly scores, while the wily bird at her foreinast clearly crows.

BRITISH GUIANA'S NEW

GOVERNOR.

The Home and Colonial Mail says;--

It is possible that some disappointment will be caused by the announcement that a sub- ordinate from the Straits Settlements is to be the new Governor of British Guiana. True, a colonial secretary is next in rank to a governor, and often carries an acting commission in his pocket. The exigencies of the Colonial Ser- vice, no doubɩ, require that subordinates should be promoted to the highest rank, but from a Colonial Secretaryship carrying a salary of re,800 dollars to a Governorship worth £5,000 sterling (including contingen cies) is a wide and extraordinary jump, even assuming the salary somewhat reduced. British. Guiana might have expected some one who had already reached, the highest rank in the service. Colonial Secretaries should be pro- moted as Governors to the less important colonies, and moved from them to the more

important ones. At the same time, Sir J. A. Swettenbam received his c.M.O.. in 1892 and his knighthood in 1898. He must, there fore, have done good service. He began of cial life as a writer in the Ceylon service in 1868, and in Cyprus, Ceylon, and other places. in the east he has been an official, being ap. pointed Colonial Secretary of the Straits Settle ments in 1895. He now gues to British Guiana, where he will, of course, be cordially re- ceived, and where there will be some in. terest shown in his dealing with the many critical questions upon the settlement of which the prosperity of the colony so much depends. He will probably have a slightly less salary than his predecessor. He will have to cut down the civil service and reduce expenditure in every * way. He has, indeed, a difficult work cut out for him, and he may be sure of all the necessary support and good feeling of the colonists in the performance of his responsible duties.

In its issue of the 11th instant, the Malay Mail applores that the demand for skilled Jabeur is far ahead of the supply, and as a con-" sequence, it sinies, "exorbitant rates have in be paid for such labour, and very indifferent work in the resul". Native carpenters, it goes on to say cannot be got for small jobs at any price. Yet, there are in India thousands of euch den apparently only making a bare living, and within a week of us. Reference is that made to the difficulty experienced in gelag compositors, which says the Pinang Garile, we have ourselves experienced. Ourcontemporary oplags that if there was a Goyrament recruiting agent in Southern India, whi should obtain and" forward such skilled artans as might be required for Malays, the evi complained of would disappear. Our | S.S. Atsovun colemporary the Singapore Free Prées concurs the suggestion and thinks that the expense afsuch an appointment, should be divided. Et salary and past commission would work ll, for in that case iacomo would be propor thal to industry in recruiting or inducing migration into the Straits of those classes of Hian workmen,
