SHIPS LAID UP *N THE TYNE. Now laid up in the Tyne, the large amount of idle tonnage well reflects the very depressed state of the shipping trade.

In the twelve months, therefore, the amount of idle tonnage has been doubled. SOUTHAMPTON AND P. AND O. SHIPS.

After a period of nearly 50 years , the Peninsular and Oriental Steamship Company have again decided to use Southampton as a port of call for their steamers engaged in' the Far Eastern trade. The vessels are only calling to load cargo at present, but it is hoped that later the company will revert to its old practice of embarking passengers at the Hampshire port.
