"The Report for 1931 of the Brit- iab Chamber of Shipping forms an excellent and comprehensive survey of the shipping activities for the year, and though on the whole there is, naturally, little reading of a cheerful nature, oca can discern between the lines signs of optimism and expecta- tions of belter conditions during the present year such as are slow- | ly becoming apparent in other branches of world trade. At the

very outset, the Raport planges. linto B consideration of the prevailing depression in the ship- ping industry, the conditions in which are described as being wone than at any time within living memory. As indicative of the abnormally bad period through which shipping generally has passed and is passing, it is only necessary to quote that the time-charter rate for twelve months' general trading, which had fallen from 25 to 10% during [the year 1920, further declined last year to between 5s, and 5a. 6d., reaching in the late autuma

Chamber's index number for freights dropped from 45 io January to 29 in December, as compared with an average of 100 for the preceding year. "At the close of the year." the Report continues, the depression in the shipping industry had reached a point at which it could confidently be asserted that it could go no fortber in view of the failure of гасалие and expenditure to balance. Such cargo vessels as remained at sea were for the -- most part running at a loss. which could be met only out of reserves of capital, while passen- ger and mall ships were being] operated without profit, in most cases receipts failing to cover | expenses.”

J. OXBERRY, Proprietor.

For this state of affaire there are three main, and many sub- sidiary, reasons, all of which, with one exception' (that of the cost of repairs) apply with almost, qual force to all other great maritime nations. While the abnormal fall in freights due to the slump in trade the world over is the fundamental cause of the depression (as it will of necessity be the fundamental cause of any revival, the high operating costs to which practically all vessels are subjected nowadays-fuel stores, dues, dock labour and) wages are all so great an in- grease on pre-war figures as to render the profitable operation of ships at pre-war freight rates al practical impossibility. This state- ment needs to be qualified, olj course. by reference to those fow companies who, in spite of the depression, still manage to pay substantial dividends; bat on the whole it is applicable to shipping in all waters, and of all nations.

It is a regrettable anomaly that Great Britain, as the world's greatest stipbuilding
