r1rted as left behind at San Francisco
WITH the departure of each trans-Paci-
&c liner for the Orient. The Chiyo
X6rn. an arrival at Honolulu Xester-
.ap. was filled to the matches with
m6rchandise and supplies destined
cor ports of call throughout the Far
East. Owing to the great increase in
the shipment Of freight across the
Pacific, scarcity OF bottoms out OF
E3n Francisco is noticeable. Every
liner Is leaving outbound with a ca
nacity cargo of general freight and in
Eonle Instances excess freight was
Ieft behind. The cotton shipments
could be cared for few years ago
Without chartering any special yes
sells, but not now.
Reservation for space has been de-
handed to fill every. vessel to sail to
the Far East for months to come,
without figuring upon the probable in
crease during the coming year. With
continual increase in freight con
tieuments to every port touched in
Ihe Ear East by the tfans-Pacific lin
ers. the facilities II the Orient are
ehtirely inadequate for the demand.
