tivisy in the Company's Business.
1t will be seen by reading the advertise
ment of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany, that renewed activity pervades every
department of the company's extensive bust
ness with California, China and Japan. This
activity is consequent with the company's
severng their understanding with the Over
land route. With their splendid fleet of SUI
perior iron propeller steamships, recently
built, the material reduction of freight and
passage rate, the magnificent accommoda-
tons, combining elegance, safety and COM
fort, that the new vessels afford, together
with the increased attractions and courtesy
extended to travellers and tourists, it can
safely be predicted that the company's bust
ness must increase largely and be more pros
porous and remunerative than it has ever
been before.
