During the shipping boom all industries connected with, the trade prospered exceedingly, but in practically every ease, save where steps had been taken to limit commitments, _ losses ultimately resulted, states ‘ Eairplay.’ For instance, the Kawasaki Dockyard Company, of Kobe, in the early part of tho war, commenced to build steamers on speculation, and for many years these vessels were sold at a very large profit. Instead, however, of securing contracts from well-established concerns when prices wore near tiic top, the company continued to produce tonnage more or less wholesale, and consequently it in the end found itself saddled with very costly steamers which could not he sold. Aloncy was borrowed from the hanks on mortgage, and although, owing to financial troubles, arrangements were made to reduce tho interest from 5 to 3 per cent,, Air Matsukata, the head ol the Kawasaki Company and the Suzuki Company, last year had to come to tho rose no and paid 1,300,000 yen in interest. The company, it is stated, owns nine, steamers of 10,000 tons each, 12 of 9,100 tons each, one of 2,560 tons, and a tanker of 300 tons, which stand in tho books at 206 yen a ton and are valued in the market at about 70 yen a ton, which means a loss of between 2(3 and 27 anillion yon. Tho other assets of tho concern, are also, it is said, very much overvalued. It was arranged for tho Government to advance 30,000,000 yen to tho Kawasaki Company, hut the opposition was too strong. Should it he Inland impossible to carry’ on the company, heavy losses will bo made, lor there is still ‘a largo amount of uncalled capital which may have to bo collected from tho shareholders in order to meet them.
