NEW COMPANY IN CHUNGKING TRADE.

The Szechuan Steamship Com- pany has put its first steamer into the Chungking trade, under the British flag. The Chungking- Hankow trade is booming. One company charges Tis. 35 per ton for freight and $160. for passage west, or half that amount for eastbound passage; for, of course, the trip through the rapids is made in less time on the east bound voyage.

ROTTING TO PIECES. More than 50 Dew wooden steamships are lying idle in various harbours along the Pacific Coast, with the prospect of con- tinuing to lie there until they fall apart from old age. They offer a mute testimony to the inevitable waste of wartime construction as they were burriedly built by the Emergency Fleet Corporation, of green timber, which is said to heve shrunk on their maiden voyages permitting the seas to pull the caulking out of the seams. They have therefore been declared unseaworthy, and now represent a total loss to the U. S. Government 25

THE CONTINUANCE OF SHIPPING CONTROL. At a meeting recently of the North of England Steamship. Owners' Association a resolution was passed urging that all control should be abolished from trade, and urging the Chamber of Shipping to take action with a view to this end. The continuance of a modified from of control of shipping is a point which is much discussed by shipping men on the Baltic While all would Exchange. like to see control of shipping a thing of the past." the admission is frequently made that control of food and control of shipping are closely linked together. When the first goes, then the second could be easily spared. Wheat, for instance, is controlled by the Government, and ships are directed by the Ministry of the varions ports at fixed rates of freight. Thus several British steamers Eave just been directed to proceed to Canadien ports to load wheat ot a freight of 108. á quarter, before the forthcoming closing of river navigation for the season.
