SHIPPING NEWS.

Japanese Charter-Rates,

In view of the recent advance in the cherter rate, there have been rumours that the authorities will impose some restrictions or the oharter market under the Wartime Shipping Control Act This is now denied by Baron Den, the Minister of Communications. who is quoted by the "Asahi" as saying;-"There has been a steady advance in charter rates, and it is pereistently rumoured that the Government will restrict operations and prohibit long forward, transactions on the charter market, but this is not true. The present advance în charter rates is of an abnormal and temporary character, the principal cause being the recent increase in foreign trade. For instance, there has been a sudden increase in shipments to the United States, such shipments being made in anticipation of American import restrictions. As & matter of fact, the steamers chartered to the United States have all carried or are carrying a full cargo on their way to that country. Thos the sudden increase in the demand for freight space is responsible for the present advance in charter rates. To turn to ship construction; the vessels to be completed in this country during the present. year number 34, agregating 376,531 tons. In addition. 14 steamers, of80,252 töns, are to be built with the materials to be

supplied by the United States under the agreement recently reached for the exchange of Japanese vessels for American shipbuilding materiala. Bader this agreement (which is known as the first agreement) 62,240 tons. are to be delivered to the United States. The vessels xo far permitted to be sold to foreigners this year amount to 57.418 tons, and it may be. assumed that something like 100,000 tons will be lust through accidents at sea- When all these factors are taken into consideration, this year's addition to Japan's mercantile marine will amount to 232,255 tons It is belived that this increase in tonnage, coupled with the disappearance of the tempor- ary extra demand on freight' *pace, will go appreciably to Inwer the charter rate. · Accord- ingly the auth rities are not

sisting of Mr. Justice Horridge and Mr. Justice Bill, from the judgment of a court of inquiry, held at Cardiff, sussending his certificate. The Cardiff court, consisting of Mr. Lewis, stip- endiary magistrate, sitting with nautical asa sasore, found that the standing: last June, of the steamer Peregrine was due to the wrongful act of the appellant in his omission to call the master, as instructed, in the event of dand being sighted or bad weather coming on. The appellant, while admitting that there were banks of fog, contended that the weather was not so bad as to warrant him calling the master. The court snäpended his certificate for two years.
