. IMPROVEMENTS KEQTJIKED. < .vjTarious.'eeheniesi nave.'been/sus&ested for im.proving; the position of British shipping the present condition of whioh is worse than for many years past, says the Melbourne "Aee.'" This, too, notwithstanding that 1,509.000 ton's of steam. shipping are now laid up idle in various ports in the United Kingdom. AH efforts among shipowners to form combinations for the purpose of keeping up freights have proved futile, the latest example of which wa3 the Eiver Plate combination .../and from the f.-tflure. of./which lower.freights than ever resulted. Such methods t £Vi m P rwti !l ab i e ln thcse da M °f many no-' •■i*s- ■ characters among shipowners, and although traders profit by the low cost of transport, to a maritime nation like the British, the unprofitable naturo of her shipping industry is a matter of, grave importance. The amount of capital Great Britain -has , invested in this-form < JLi > sJ o r pnse is enormous, estimated at! over £200,000,000, and if such-a;'sum not: onty produces no'lriebffle, but .entails' , fiiHher. loss, in working expenses,'' the savings ,of, the > people will be - seriously diminished. Furthermore, a steamer is an asset .'whioh wastes txapidjy; owing 'to;.the speed with which improvements .'are effected in- construction and other, important- matters. Idleness, therefore, in any portion of such a limited lifo.has to be-avoided if possible, and the attempts, to escape' this fate are-responsible for the; low rates of freight:\now ruling.. - Some of the competition comes i?om' .discarded 'British vessels sold to foreigners at bargain prices, and the buyers at a oost far below that necessary;with a nerr steamer under British reBulatiohs. •. It is sufciested that it would piiy -British shipowners better to break up their old vessels than to sell them at scrap-iron prices to be used in competition aeainst themselves. -This, it ie ' pointed out, mieht be- accomplished by means-of a common sinking fund. froW whioh compensation :could-be' ijiven.:fnr : the difference between , scrap hean prices and the- amount a foroien;buyer, would-be .willing to'pay. ■ ' To-morrow the Government steamer Hinemoa ie expected to. leave Wellington on,her. northern cruise. / ■'■.'."■■" : ■■'-.
