It is only natural in the present condition of trade that the supply of bottoms should exceed the demand for the transpor of goods, and the extreme depression in shipping business is therefore not a matter for surprise. Now that the close of navigation to North China for the season is rapidly ap proaching, Japanese steamers of above 1,000 tons engaged in the North China trade are being put on the Japaneso consting trade, and this is making the situation worse. Steamers arriving at Moji, Kobe, and Osaka increase in number day after day. The circumstances have forced shipowners to reduce the size of their crews in order to minimise the financial dficulty.
