The experiences', of 'the.'shipping trade during!, the first half of this year fully',confirm the forecast made by Mr,. John White . in- : his an'nual'review for' 1907." At the'time many.en.gaged in this .'indristry' cohsidered ' that the view lis to the'future, then expressed was too pessimistic, but unfortunately ; a record.- has since been established/in scarcity, of ofde'TS,'iii'; low prices of steamers; : and in low;'rates, of'' freight. ,The : niisfortunes of- shipbuilders-have been accentuated by tho refusal of a section of tho workers .to accept a reduction in wages. The delaj; so caused, has, however, had its compensations, -, inasmuch as it has postponed tho completion of orders, and thus prevented moro vards being entirely-id lc/'-Sinfo--;thp^-be^'. ginning of the'f'ye.ari'states Mr.' White "in 'his* . half-yearly '_ review,there "'have scarcelyj been]' any' orders ' given '-.for - tramp .cargo.- r'steamersj', though prices ito' build. are 10 per cent. low.eiC than they were'twelve months ago; - A.goo.d.'iiijj dication of the. j! exteut of the depression is'furnished by the/figures given "Lloyd's *Regis-- ' tor of .Shipping,','.' whifih shows that the tonnago of steamersj.under. construction on'Marcli--31, was only.-839,1110 toi|s^dr'.4§p,opo ,: "tons 'loss' than the this being the since 1897 'tnat'!the tonnage building'has fallen'beloi:;900,000 tons.

"of ship-owners lies in- the continued restriction • in the production,of new vessels!'' With an ab6imce of production, the present excessive tonnage will be reduced by losses, tho average of which in steamers is about 450,000 tons . per. annum. As shipbuilding• is 'tho largest'consumer of copper, Australia is indirectly in- • tcrested in the recovery of such a customer'for that metal. :

W'ANGANUT: MEAT FREEZING; COMPANY. The eighteenth annual rdport of the .Wanganui Meat Freezing Company, Limited, for the year ended July 31 states that the balance of profit and loss, including 44315 9s. Gd. brought forward.from last,year, is' 45413 os. 9il„ which it, is proposed to' deal' with ing a dividend of six per cent, per annum on the paid-up < capital of the " Company, and' carrying forward the balance,.-a- result that should he deemed satisfactory;., considering? tho very serious fall in tho values of wool and pelts. The directors state that they have .succeeded in securing a very' favourable : and extended lease of the land on which the works are situated. At the end of the old lease a further term is secured, renewable every 21 years, rental,to b'o on the„basis of,.the,unimproved value, tho improvements, belonging to the Company. It z has 1 been-' decided to increase the capacity of tho works, and with this end in view, a contracts has 'been "-'let for nn addition jo itho engine room, and a new freezing machine, capable of freezing- .2000 6heep per day, has been ordered, and: will bo readv for nost season,;

To meet the expenditure on additions ;to, i\;orks now in hand it. is very probable tho .directors intend . calling' up the unpaid' capital, I 'and this, if' put'into effect, would bring in 46747 10s. Notwithstanding tho unfavourable results of tho past year, tne Company's .prospects :are : „quite good. . "'FIRE-RE-INSURANCE IN" GERMANY. Tho "Frankfurter Zeitung" 'states that tho /Hamburg, insurance,institutions known as the Versicherungs-Gesellscliaft' yon 1873 and the Jioue I'unfte Assckuranz-'Kompagnie enibarked upon fire- re-insurance some time 'ago, and in .'connection therewith, according to the Munich i". Handel und Industrie," concluded a solvency • guarantee', contract- with' thfe' 1 RoyitlrExchango Assurance Corporation of London, whereby the latter guaranteed the engagements entered into by. the Hamburg undertakings. ,The corporation appointed its chairman a. director of the German' companies.;. It is not quite clear, the Frankfort newspaper observes, what induced tho German companies to take the noteworthy step. Apparently they ; entered upon , the new branch >n order to ;fihci compensation for the unprofitable transport ' insurance which tlioy both .formerly-,alone carried on,, but' they believed they could not work without -'tfis material co-operation, of. the ( London - Company, The whole occurrence, the Frankfort newspaper proceeds to remark, is not;'gratifying. If German institutes are no longer able to work independently and if their reserves are insufficient they should do what is dono by the directors in other branches of insurance— 1 either-'seek' a-roonnection- with powerful Ger-! . iman institutions, or ,go, into' liquidation. Tho . .gjaftting of, Jfir-reachmg rights to foreign insh&tions is to be condemned from the standpoint of the prestige of German insurance, ''Such an event :.,as" is .being accomplished in .Hamburg is in ; any case not adapted to silence ■the occasionally expressed wishes for a certain (hot-absolute) supervision also of the transport insurance system 'by the -Imperial' Board of Insuranco Supervision. If this were dono tho I 'Hamburg incidents could be more • easily 5 -avoided. For the rest, Hamburg is the "critical"; place for.,-transport insurance, as is shown: bv the largo number of institutions which have already collapsed. This is partly due to the -fact that tho Hamburg companies have frequently had to reckon with heavier burdens than other insurance companies. Transactions 5 .brokers.at .charges ' "lttgelj;'!' increase ' the expenses' as f compared: with, .the-institutions which-negotiate' ' •.direstl'y.:.y^h:. ; , j • ... sjsoTES. •: ■ ■ -""fnrit.f i.<rT!xtendinff her -irrigation works upon a considerable .scale.

They total 114,842,440, divided as follows:—Cattle, 25,8-14,800; sheep, 77,581,100; horse, j 5,462,170; mules and donkoys, 545,870; |, . goats, , 2,58G,tj00; pigs, 2,841,700. Tho province of Buonoa"Aires contains one-half of the livo ' 'stock^of. the Ropublic, having 7,000,000 cattle I and' 48,000,000 sheep. Entro Rios Provinco has 9,006,300 animals, Corrientes 7,911,000, and Cor- ] doba and Sante Fe each nearly 7,000,000. [ Between tho middlo of April and the end of I May gold: exports: from tho United States . amounted to.- nearly ■ 40 million dollars ) (48,000,000). ■- '- With vessels leaving'-weekly,' ; parrying a million,- or more, gold • abroad,' a ( statement was.mado that, a record oxport movc- . ,ment was being-'established. In fact, with tho oxception of 62,500,000d01. gold exported in ) April and May, 1904, due mainly to the Amo--3 rican Government's payment to France of '50,000,000d01,. for tho Panama Canal, no two

months havo hitherto shown an equal moveVm" 1 ' • 8,,t if: is as the New York Evening Post" points out, to base a comparison on the iivo opening months of the year, and then tho results aro shown to bo very different. Statistics show that a largo trade in blankets and rugs is opening, up in China which is continually increasing. The-class, of blankets which aro most popular throughout Shantung, and Isorth China-generally, is a light-weight cotton blanket which is being imported principally from Japan, These blankets appear in four varieties on tho local Tsingtau market, as follows: —First quality cotton blankets, Japanese, measure 1.53 by 2.12 yards, and sell locally at retail from l.lOdol. Mexican (Idol. Mexican equals about 50 cents gold) cach. I'hey aro packed'in boxes of 100 pieces, and no discounts aro made unless purchases aro made of unbroken boxes. Second quality, measure 1.42 by 1.92 yards, are packed in boxes of 200, and retail at Idol. Mexican each. Third quality, measure 1.31 by 2.18 yards, aro packed in boxes containing 300, and retail at 56 cents Mexican each. Fourth quality, measure 1.4 by 1.92 yards, are packed in boxes of 300, and retail at 75 conts each. Tho American Consul at Nagasaki reports:— Two steamers, the Teuyo-Maru and tho ChiyoMaru, cach of 13,G00 tons, were launched by the Mitu Co. for tho Toyo Kisen ICaisha, and aro expected to begin service at an early dato on the Sari Francisco line. For the Nippon Yusan Kaishn's Europaan line the Ivamo-Maru, of 8770 tons, was also launched. The total tonnago thus .completed is 35,770. All these vessels aro fitted with turbine engines and aro built to tho highest class under Lloyd's survey. The Company is now engaged in building 12 vessels, with a total gross tonnage of 90,620 tons and 81,500 indicated horse-power. Half of them with be launched this year, the balanco in 1909 and 1910. This Company imports most of its material, including heavy castings, but is well equipped for repair work and construction in nearly every branch of: shipbuilding, and is adding to its plant. The Mitsu yards are equipped with two large floating docks. Aside from the Government foundry at Wakamatsu and the navy-yard at i Saseho, no other extensive iron and steel works are in operation in this district PEOGRESS MINES. • (BI TEtBGEArH—PEESS ASSOCIATION.) Reefton, August 16. The report of tho Progress Mines of Now ZSaland, Ltd., states that during July the battery crushed 4150 tons, yielding bullion (ineluding cyanide output .£Ol9, ; concentrates .£375) worth .£5028. _ The development work revealed'nothing of importance except that tho drive in No. 1 level has reached reef country and a small body of stone 2ft. wide was visiblo in the face. - Consolidated , Goldfields (Golden Fleece): AVork in No. 15 level exposed nothing of importance. As this level has: not opened up as large a quantity of quartz as was anticipated, it has now been decided to let the mine on tribute for three years. Wealth of Nations: No. 10 level, which is being extended 200 feet on contract, passed through a small unimportant body of quartz. Tho drive is now following a well-defined ■track,. No. 9.level south:' After extending this about sft. in a southerly direction a nice little body of stone averaging sft. wide and 25ft. in length was passed through. This small block of stone is of good value, samples averaging 17dwt. to the ton. The manager is now taking the leading stope off this block. On the small footwall reef in No. 9 level a contract has been let to rise through tp No. 8. It is anticipated that the reef will carry stone s through to 'tho level above. Steady progress has been mado with tho alterations to tho mill equipmont, work in connection with the retaining walls, lloors, and Pelton water-wheel chamber is in a forward condition. A contract has been let to supply five tall tanks; 10ft. in diameter by ttft. high, for treating slimes. Tho tube mill is now being- placed in position immediately over tho' battery. Tho last threo chains ot the race caused considerable anxiety-on account of tho hill above moving slightly. To lessen the risk of this; sideling carrying away tho water race, it has been decided to put, a 1 tunnel into the hill instead of a Burning race as proposed in the first instance. This tunnel is now under way. In" July tho battery crushed 1128 tons of quartz, yielding bullion of a value of i! 1434; 1505 tons were ■ cyariided, yielding Blackwater Mines, Ltd.:■ During July only, a comparatively small amount of development work was carried out, as it was found advisable to cease development! while tho leading stopo was being taken off. Since last report the level has only been extendod 20ft. on quartz averaging 46in. wide. The total assays obtained in this drive during the year show an average value of ; 13.66 'dwt. over 26.7 in. in width over a length of 457ft. 1 ' Tho rise from the Joker level to connect with No. 5' prospecting' winze-has reached a height of 149 ft., and the last 85ft. has been on stone of a very low grade, assaying about 4dwt. over 22in. No. 3 lo'vol 'north was during July extended 50ft;, when it . was found advisable to stop it that more attention might be paid ta taking off the leading stope. The last 50ft. was of low value. The total assays obtained in this drive for the year, if averaged out, show 11.89dwt. over 27in. over 399 ft. At the battery site steady .progress has been mfdo. At, the end of the' month all' l the main working parts of the battery and tho cyanide plant were finished. A preliminary trial of the mill took place on August 17. Sinco August 11 fifteen stamps have been working regularly. Tho remainder will start 'as soon as possible; but exceptionally dry-frosty weather • has seriously ■ affected the quantity : of Svater available in Snowy Creek, and on acctiunt of tho loose nature of the country an appreciable quantity is'yet being lost through leakage. Tho leaks will gradually become silted up, when a larger quantity of the water coming in at the head will find its way through to. tho pressure pipes. ' NEW BIG RIVER. . (BY; TELEGRAPH—PKESS ASSOCIATION.) - , Reefton, August 15. ' The manager of tho New Big' River reports on tho .various faces of tho mine as follows:—No. 4' stopo in branch block is in blank ground. •In No. 5 stope in tho branch block the reef is 12ft. wide. Rising for No. 6 stope is in blank ground. In No. 5 stopo of the eastern block tho reef, is 12ft. wide. No. 6 stopo on tho eastern block is being carried along from tho main uprise in blank ground. In No. 9 level south there is a good Toef track carrying a little stone, in which gold can bo seen. In No.' 9 winzo the reef is the full size of tho winzo without any sign of tho wall.' In No. 1 level rising from-tho intermediate level to No. 1 has been carried on for a distanco of about 20ft. When this connection' is made, it is tlie intontion to convert it into a winze, and to continue sinking on the reef. At present there is 3ft. of stone in the rise. During the week,135 tons of stone have been raised. The battery is being run full time, except for a stoppage of two shifts in the early part of the week. ; DREDGING RETURNS. (BY.
