lost more than a dozen of its boat ships by aapture during the first weeks of the war. During the frat half of the year, the principal | German companies experienced a considerable shrinkage in their revenues and the strain of the past few months of enforced in- notivity, mostly in neutral ports where dues must be paid, will tell vory heavily in the future on all the lines that were such keen competitors of British lines. The hopes that the sharp decline of the world's freight market, which started in the autumn of last year, would be only transitory, and that there would be an up- ward movement in the course of the spring, were not realised. A Nov. favourable circumstance; so frus Dec. the linor companies were 10- Jan. cerned, was that the coût 10t tariffa gave a certain amount of stability to their business.

The modern large steamers perhaps earned their depreciations, but, on the other hand, the older tramp steamers could not make their working expenses. The home- ward freight business was parti- paid even for full steamship: cularly unfavourable. The rates

cargoes from South America scarcely covered working ex- penses, and in order to obtain 08 mach cargo as possible for ships running according to programme, the liner companies have been willing to accept parcels at speel- ally low freight rates, but, owing to the limited amount of trading only a very little cargo was ob tainable even at the lowest rates. This circumstance supplies an explanation of the fact that the Hamburg-South American Steam. ship Company laid up two of its regalar mail steamers, and de- spatched some of its vessels in ballast to the West Coast in order to take nitrates to Europe. The passenger services, have given just as little profit as the freight business, because the Leave Hongkong economic situation in America gave no inducement to emigra. tion and kept the travelling public at" bome. On the other hand there has been no reddotion in working expenses, and the cost
