almon unparalleled prospects certainly do

not seem to be any brighter than they wore year ago. But although the Imports of coal. into the port of Singapore will show about 15,300 tons increase over 1907; it is certain the figures will not nearly reach those of 1900, This latter year, however, was almost a record in the coal trade, so that if last year's figures compare favourably with those of the year pre- vious, it may be taken that the imports are not on the wane...

Fears are entertained that Singapore is tosing her coaling trade in common with her other general trans-shipping trade, and that it is all going to the Dutch port of Sabang, where prices are better, and where shipmasters are treated with greater consideration by the wharf owners;| Bat the tendency here is not towards a decrease, and it is safe to say that the much talked-abent port of Sabang will have to claim a great deal more of our ships for conling before she will seriously affect Singapors as one of the largest coaling stations in the Far East

Although the actual figures are not yet made Steam Launches of Steel or Wood, Lighters, Steal Buildings" and Rooks," Bridga | public, the approximate total; show that there Work, and all kinds of Machinery nie made on the premises,

has been a marked falling off in the imports of Tenders will be made up when required and the workmanship and coaterial will be Bengal coal-no less than 115,000 tons, as.

compared with the previous year, and the re markable, almost alarming, decrease of 224,000 The cost of Docking, and repair work, will be found to compare favourably with that tons when set against the figures for 1905.

Two powerful Twin Screw Towboats are available, for taking Vessels in or out of Dock, and for taking Selling Vessels in or out of the bay. The doating derrick is capable of lifting 15 tons.

Conv

Several reasons ara assigned for this heavy decrease, but the fact that the Indian railways are now utilising the Bengal product probably his a.considerable influence in the matter. in 1906, 164,000 tons of Indian coal arrived at Singapore from Calcutta, while in 1907 155,000. tops were receivad, But for 1928 the total does not exceed 40,900 tons

Austrálian zod japanese coals-bave been imported to a considerable extent. Various reports are spread that the Japanese coal we get here does not compare favourably with the Australian product, but if the imports can be taken as a criterion, Japanese coal is the more favoured of the two. Japan, indeed, has taken a remarkable lead during the year. Nearly 290,00 tons of her coal wein imparted, which represents an increase over 1957, af, roughly," 50,000 tons, a fact which augur well for the present.year. A few years ago Japanese coal was not imported to any great extent year's figures are no less than 200,000 on above the imports of 1906-but it now

bids fair to carnes the market,

On the other hand, imports of Australian coal were considerably less than in 1906, al- though last year's imports more than doubled those of, 1957. The figures are:-la 1905, 219,600 tons; in 1937, 85,000 tons; and in 1908, 185,000 tom

The amount of Cardiff coal imported was less than balf that imported in the previous year, being 36,000 tons, compared with 77,000 in 1907, and 85,000 in the year 1906;
