LEYLAND LINE MEETING.

of British Shipping's Future.


London. May 3. The annual meeting
of the Leyland Steamship company
has been held here. About 90 share
holders only We're present. Dividends
of > per cent on the preferred stock
and q per cent on the ordinary stock
were declared. and Il reserve fund of
t3In,uuO was created.
Chairman Ellerman presided. In his
address he took Il peSsmstc view of
the future of shipping. Trade. he said
generally enjoyed cycles of prosperity
and depression. They had had their
prosperity. but the future none could
prophesy. Expenses We're continually
increasing; labor troubles. especially in
London, caused grave anxiety. and to
shipownrrs the last year had been one
of anxiety.
Various efforts have been made by
American companies to obtain large
subsidies. IT the ship subsidy bill had
been passed by congress. il would have
been detrimental 10 English interests.
even If ii had not made it impossible
for English vessels to compete with
American subsidized steamships. They
could not hope for countervailng taxa
ton. Experience showed that the gov
prnnent preferred that trade should 90
rather than give il help.
Some of those present thought that
the peSsimism in Chairman Ellerman's
address was intended to satisfy the
shareholders With the sale to j. Pier.
