It shows jhat 2535 vessels arrived and 2558 vessels- left the port from January 1 to June 30 this year, as against 2477 arrived and 2443 left for the game period in 1907. Japanese steamers (says an exchange) are Still acutely feeling the effects of the Chinese boycott, ar.d, judging by the thorough manner in which it is being applied to representatives of the Japanese lines trading to Australia, the end is as far off as ever. The Yawata, Maru, which arrived at Melbourne from Yokohama and Hongkong, via ports, recently, was again a great sufferer. Sho did not carry a solitary Chinese passenger or -* ton of Chinese csfrgo from Hongkong. She was, however, freely patronised by European, and Japanese, arriving in Sydney with her saloon accommodation well taken up.
