I remember one | instance when there were neasly '45,000 bales awaltlog shipnient for more than "two months, while the P. and O. Company, with suprema indifference, doled out shipping orders for" small parcels in their China boats, instead of placing their own extra or other chartered steamers on beria to help the shippers. At this particular time cotion prices were fluctuating violently, andthe shippers did not care to execulo, orders from japan because they had no means of knowing what charges u ay would be called upon to lacur before it pleased the Prand O. Company to accept their cargoes for shipment. This extraordinary state of things continued for some time, and eventually, it became so. intolerable that the cotton merchants in Bom bay and their Japanese buyers put their heads together and started an opposition line of steamers. With the facilities thus secured by lodependent action the trade has now enor. mously developed. This is the plain unvarnish ed history of the Japanese competition that has "wiped out" the intercolonial trade which Sir Thomas at present lamenti, and of which only a few years ago he virtually held the monopo ly. I submit the company will do well even now to look this fact in the face, Instead of putting down its Inds of the trade with Japan to circumstances which are not so much the cause as the result of his oWÓ ramissness, I do not wonder that, even while

While on this subject of Far Eastern freights, I might point out at even now the P, and O.
