Congestion of Cargo at Keba and Bisewhere.

An official in the Communica- tions Department is still staying here to compose the differences between the shipping companies and shippers regarding the sup ply of hold space. An officer of the Kobe Chamber of Commerce is reported by the Japan Times as saying that the settlement of the trouble is not so difficult as it was supposed to be. The question has been raised by ship- pors in Koha and Osaka who have been troubled by the steady accumulation of cargo bound for rope at ports on account of the shortage in tonnage available... At present accumulated aзrgo, in estimated at 37,500 tons or 80, according to the statement. of shippore. If they and their ship- ping agents are agreed on rates of freight, however, this much cargo may easily be taken in dur- ing the next three months, for dating that period regular liners of 20,000 tons or so may be at their disposal, and if rates be fair, auxiliary ships of a similar extent may also be scoured for the ship- pere. In that dage the Obamber of Commerce will assist the ebip- pere and shipping agente in the adjustment of all minor, troubles." According to shippers, however, the question is not of such a nature that it can be settled so

be induced by raising freight rates to the same as those ruling at China ports, or by granting bounties to those agente under taking the transportation of the accumulated cargo, any addition to the tonnage now avail- able is hopeless, an the Nippon Yusen Kaisha has already extend- ed its European fleet to the utmost limit. In any event the consensus of opinion among those interested in the trouble points fo the further prolongation of the negotiations. The freight market here is troubled with another difficulty of a more important. nature. Owners who chartered their boate at cheap rates before have recently proposed to nullify their contracts, paying whatever damages may be involved, the idea being to recharter their vessels at the higher rates now raling. Of course, we are told, charterers can not object to such proposale legally, and therefore reluctantly accept the terms offered. Thus many charter parties are now involved in serious troubles. On the Bombay route the congestion of cargo haa been relieved by the Nippon Yasen Kaisha anderisking to despatch the Kamakara Mara on May 20.
