! Shipping Staenant At Honekong.
From what could be gathered from
officers in the Pacific Mail liner Korea
that called at HONOLULU yesterday, a
stagnation in shipping at Hongkmg
prevailed during the stay of the Korea
at the Chinese port. There was lack
o. We sells riding at anchor there that
has not been experienced in years.
The ships in port on one day before
the Korea sailed tor Japan and Homo
lulu, excluding junks, river steamers
and Men-or-War, totalled only "a, and
these were mostly moored in the ex-
IRENE end of the Harbor, leaving the
center bare. The usual average is be-
tween 60 and 20 vessels; "a ocean-go-
ing vessels have been known to arrive
iii one day, which equals the total
amount in the Harbor. 1t is difficult
to ascribe cause for this state of the
| Colony's trade, as the amount of YES
sells arriving up TO hte end Of August
was quite up to the average.

Valuable Cargo Slowed In Staterooms.
For the first time in the history of
! the Canadian Pacific railway COM
pany's Empress steamships cargo has
heen slowed in staterooms for the
westward voyage. This happened on
| the liner, Empress Of Japan when she
left Vancouver for Yokohama and
Hongkong. Liners from the Orient
have not infrequently carried silk in
the cabins, but the Japan is the first
| of the fleet to get away from Van
! couver with freight in her staterooms.
So much cargo is offered that quanti-
! ties have to be shut out to await later
sailings. Heavy consignments of Gig
arettes, flour and condensed milk ALL
ed the Japan up to the matches, and
staterooms had to be utilized for the
overflow.
