According to our London correspondent, tbe annual report of ill. White Star Lino states that tbe freight position in all the company's services was disappointing, una that there is no indication of an early improvement. The American passenger traffic was somewhat better, but the Canadian traffic was disappointing. There is. however, some prospect of improvement In view of the more liberal attitude towards immigration recently adopted by the Canadian Government. The net profit for the year 1025, at £310,200, is substantially l.wcr than that of 1U24, which was £368,837, and Is Indeed the lowest earned in any one of the last ten years with the single exception of 1923, for which tbe figure was only £311,560. Tbe dividend, which was 7i per cent In 1924, and 5 per cent in 1923, has been reduced to 5 per cent again, and there is no appropriation to the reserve fund, which a year ago received £125,000, though, on the other hand, the carry-forward, which last year was reduced by some £6000, is now raised by nearly £70,000 to £187,234. The total fleet of the White Star Line, including vessels, jointly owned with associated companies, consists of 36 vessels, of a total gloss tunnage of 526,5)79, while the company has building at Belfast the Laurentle, a new triple-screw steamer of about 10,000 tons.
