This is undoubtedly a reflection caused by nows received from Canton to the effect that General Lung "had handed over his seals of office, but although a fixture of a small outsider at 40 cents was arranged Owners are now inclined to stand out for more then this figure. No farther fixtures are reported but shortage of tonnage msy pos- sibly bring about, for the time being, at any rate, a alight advance although it is anticipat ed thas very little business will be arranged until the late Military "Governor" sctually takes his departure and the new official definitely swumes office.
