AUSTRALIAN SHIPPING.
INDEPENDENT SERVICE. WITHHOLDING OF REBATES. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 8.45 p.m.) LONDON, Mar. 13. The Commonwealth Government Line is loading the steamer Bulla through its own brokers. Shipping circles regard this as the commence- ; ment of competition with the conference lines, but it is understood that the Government does not intend to cut rates. The Shipping Conference intends to adhere to the custom of withholding deferred rebates from shippers who use other steamers than those of the conference. The Australian Merchants' Association dis- ! cussed the situation as regards the Bulla, and will send a deputation to Mr. Andrew Fisher, Commonwealth High Commissioner, on the matter.
