Timber freighte between Kitami (Hokkaido) and Osaks or Koba have alenadvanced by Y2 or Y3. Eacouraged by this: advance, steamship owners are demanding a rate some 30 per cent. higher in charter money. But from fear of danger at sea, and the banks rofusing to scompt drafts, merchants are holding back shipments of cargo, and little is being carried. Steamers are finding no charterers and the high churter rate is only nominal, About 400 tons have been booked by the N.Y.K.steamer "Takasago» · mara" which is to sail from.

ments have been completed for the formal opening of the Paname Canal, shortly after the close of the next session of Congress, 4th March 1915. The occasion will be marked by a naval parade through the canal with President Wilson, on board the battleship "Oregon," at its head. On board the "Oregon" besides the Pres ident will be Secretary Daniels, Admiral Dewey, Admiral; Clarke and possibly Secretary of War Garrison and Colonel Goethals. Other members of the cabinet will be on board various ships in the line passing through it is possible for them to arrange to attend the formal opening. While the form- not take place until the President alities of opening the canal 'will can reach there conveniently alter the closing of Congress, the canal will be open for business probably as early as January. Sagar barges are already using the canal as a supplement to the Panama railroad, and it is ex peated that all danger of slides. will have been removed within six months. Eleven nations have al.eady signified their intention... of taking part in the naval parade, which will be the chief ceremony of the formal opening. Austria, Argentina, Cuba, France, Great

Sweden are the nations which Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan," Portugal, Spain, Russia and

have promised to be represented by battleships at the great pageant and several more are expected. It is practically certain that, Chile and Brazil will send battleships. Not only will the President bead the greatest naval parade of history but he will remain on board the "Oregon," and be convoyed to San Francisco by the greater portion of the ships which go through the canal. Secretary Daniels and his staff will accompany the President to the San Francisco exposition,
