SHIPPING FREIGHTS
NEGOTIATIONS PENDING,
(Received 9; a.m.) LONDON, May 9,
Until the New Zealand .shippers' representative, Air D, Jones, arrives In London to negotiate a new freight agreement, little more is likely to be hoard of the proposal of the Blue Star Line to make provisional reductions in rates. The company declines to discuss its rdans.
Tlio city editor of the “Daily Express’’ recalls the fact that Testers, which controls the line, put one or two ships on the China run to compete with the Peninsula and Oriental Line, but the market understands that the voyages were"'less profitable than was hoped. There was a similar experience with the venture in the Gulf fruit trade. The rates offered to New Zealand are below those of the regular lines which Mr Jones is coming to negotiate.
