tracts for one or more new steamers
intended for the Atlantic and Pacific
trade, to be operated by way Of the
Panama Canal

plated the enlargement Of the Pacific
service for some time past has been
borne out by the frequent declarations
made by prominent officials connect
ed with the company who have been
OF the opinion that with the opening
OF the new American waterway busi-
ness OF passenger and freight trans
portation would increase by leaps and
bounds.
The Japanese have an eye out for a
marked increase in travel and, ac-
cording to weIl-posted shippingmen
who have watched the development of
the line from three small vessels to a
fleet of the present number and tom
mage, 1t is believed that the Togo XII
sen Kaisha will be followed by the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha and the Mitsui
Bussan Kaisha, all large Japanese
owned steamship companies doing bus
mess In the Pacific.
IL is stated on excellent authority
that Messrs. Avery, Isaka and Harara
will after a brief conference to be
held at San Francisco and New York.
proceed directly to London and British
shipping marts, where negotiations
for one or more new vessels will be
considered.
