SHIPPING NEWS.

N.Y.K. Dividend Declied,

Though no definite decision had yet been reached by the D rectorate of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, it was expected, as men- toned the other day, that the Company would pay a dividend for the last term of 50 per cent... and as in the preceding term, sat aside a sum of Y5,103,000 as a special reserve. This expectation has come true, the Directors having reached a decision to that effect on the 13th instant, and aancunced it to the shareholders yesterday, says the Japan Chronicle" of November 15, The proposed increase of the Com- pany's capital has also been foally decided upon by the Directors.

South American Freights Räised.

The Department of Communic- ations has granted permission for the increase of Fouth American freight rates applied for by the Toyo Kisen Kaisha. The increase is by over 10 per cent in silk textiles: over 30 per cent, in oils. pulp, straw braid, tinned food. brushes, parcelsia, etc., over 40, per. cent in peanuts, tea, mate' and matting, etc., and over 50 per cent. in rice, sulphur, sleepers, bean oils, cement, glass bottles, etc. The increased rates will become operative beginning with the Seiso-maru, sailing from Kobe on the 6th instant- "Japan Chronicle.".

O.S.K. South Seas Service.

It will be remembered that some time ago the tsaka Shosen Kaisha appealed to the G vern- ment to transfer the subsidy paid for the cr mpany's North American service to a new South Seas service contemplated. The company has not yet received any instructions from the Gevers ment regarding the "appeal, but has been steadily making prepar- ations for the inaugurations of the contempisted service. The preliminary arrangements being now nearly over it is expected that the service" will be shortly opened. It will take the form of an extension of the Bombay line and provide a regular service to the Dutch Indies and the various islands in the South Seas.
