THE AMERICAN LINE.

As the result of the inauguration of the re. gular tri-weekly service with six vessels consist ing of three ordinary and three auxiliary steamers, this line became very populat, and

the volume of cargo canied to America from the East during the period under review nearly doubled as compared with the previous period, while that carried on the homeward, voyages during the same period was also doubled as compared with the corresponding period of last business year.

Rosetta

THE AUSTRALIAN LINE. The newly constructed Kumano Maru was placed on this line during the period under review and replaced the S. 5. Maru.. But Japan's export trade with Australia was unfavourably affected by the enforcement of the new Customs Laws, while imports into Japan from Austalia also decreased owing to shott orders from the country, and the expected prosperity on this line was not realised.
