the International Union of Sailing Ship FRIDAY, the 22nd day of January, 1994, GROUNDYWOOD ROAD, suitable for a Owners, there is a growing feeling among steamship owners in Liverpool that a similar arrangement in their care might lead eventual- ly to useful results. It is not, as a matter of fact, says the P. M. G, expected that any im- mediate benefits will accrue from the conference in Paris, but the very fact of such a meeting having taken place is a step in advance, and should assist in creating the basis for more binding agreements in the future.~

At present steamship freights are little better than those for sailing ships, and in the Atlantic trade, indeed, no profit is to be made unless passengers are carried. Since the inauguration

THE DEPRECIATION OF STOCKS.

The M. C. D. News of 13th ins', calls alten tion to a list of appreciation and depreciation in stocks, and says: Of the total amount of depreciation amounting to Tis. 13,969,552, we are glad to say that only a small proportion is borne by Shanghai. In the case of the Shell Transport and Trading Co, showing a loss of over 7 millions, only an infinitesimal amount is borne by Shanghai, and the same-sefers to the loss of nearly to o millions in the Chinese Engineering and Mining Co., Ld. The princi- pal depreciation in which this port is concerned is in S. C. Farnham, Bord & Co., and Shang- hai & Hongkew Wharf C, Ld ; amounting to st millions. This is a most entirely borne here; and we have to hear a very heavy pro portion of the depreciation in Indo-Chinas, Against this may be put almost in its en tirety the appreciation in Matschappij/&c. in Langkats. Shanghai shares only to a very slight extent in the depreciation in Hongkong Bank shares, as it enjoys little of the appreciation in Marine Insurances, with the exception of North Chinas and Yangistes, the greater portion of which later stocks it benefits from. In Land shares the only stock that interests Shanghai to any extent is its own Land Investment Co. and this depreciation is largely bore here.

In summing up, we make the depreciation borne by Shanghai on stocks generally on our table as being somewhere in the neighourhood of three millions of taels. Our readers must know it is impossible to give accurate figures. Notwithstanding the continued tightness of money which we have experienced within the last five or six months and more particularly during the last month, stocks have remained steady and fairly strong at or about our De cember quotations. Given. peace and a little easiness in money, we look for much higher rates in most of our stocks.

FOREIGN TROOPS IN KOREA.

ARRIVAL OF AMERICAN SOLDIERS AT SEQUL It is now reported (says the Kebe Chronicle af 8th inst.) that the number of United States troops which have arrived at Chemulpo from Manila is 150, of whom 36, in charge of two officers and six non-commissioned officers; were sent to Seoul, arnvig at noon on Wednesday, and being quartered at the U.
