CHINAS MERCHANT MARINE.

Captain Donaldson. of the steamship Glenroy.
which arrived at this port the 10th inst via Suez
Canal from ports in China furnished few interest
ing facts to HERALD reporter yesterday regarding
the merchant marine OF that Empire lie says the
large fleet Of handsome and powerful steam
boats that once did q profitable carrying trade
from the interior greatly reduced in number.
and the few that left not running with any
thing like the profit of former years. Most OF these
steamboats, built in the United States by order
of American merchants in China. aud for long
time there a lively opposition between the
erai houses owning them. Gradually the fleet grew
smaller, several OF the boats being burned. Then
the emma Merchants Steamship line organ
lied and all the vessels passed into the con-
troll of that company. Since the completion
OF the Suez Canal the business has mate
rally decreased, and the Merchants
line Is compelled to withdraw some of its boats.
The company had sold its dry docks. and when Cap
tain Donaldson left China some OF the older OF its
vessels being broken up. For several years
the companys steamers have carried but little tea to
the coast. Occasionally the great innovation of
the old steamers towing sailing crafts up
the rivers has been observed which shows
much anything else the depression of
the trade. SO prosperous at one st of its career
WAS the business of the China Merchants Steamship
line IL is sad that the company intended to run
sells across the ocean, but later ON the project
abandoned. Captain Donaldson says that business
generally In China, tar his observations
tended, is not OF the most flo urishing character.
