In introducing the report and accounts at the general meeting last week, Mr. Nakabashi, the president, said that trade bad not entirely am erged from the depression, and the marine trans port business was still slick. The opening in Europe of a market for beans produced in Manchuria furnished cargo for the homeward voyage of European vessels coming out This resulted in an advance in the freightage of coal carried by those vessels to Hongkong and Singapore from Japan, followed by an advance in the freightage of coal between Japanese ports,
which caused an all-round increase in the carriage on general cargo. Owing to the successful harvest of rice last year, the cargo and 'passenger traffic in the coasting trade showed an increase, butcompetitors having appeared for the laland Sea and Kishu traffic, the revenue there from was less satisfactory than for the first half of last year, though the result was better than the second ball.
