LOXDOX, September ib Another decisive step has been taken in tho great Germ an-American ehipping: alliance. A Bremen telegram announces thot tli-> negotiations between.the Xorddeutsclier Lloyd and tho United States Mail Steamship Company have now resulted in a. <•<>- fir.ito agreement, whicli 6eems jiTactically identical witli the compact of the Ha.rrinian Shipping. Trust, and tho Hamburg-Areerika Line. .The United States Mail S.S. Company ta.kos ovor from the Shipping Board the greater part of the German passenger etc am era now in America, including tho tinest vessels, formerly the property of tn© Xorddeutacher Lloyd. The Bremen Company will hold a general agency for tho joint concern in Central Europe, placing l its docks, machinery, organisation, and experience at the disposal of tho United Statoa Company. ■It is also authorised to participate in ■ tho service with its own stcamera, probably on a footing of equality, as in the case of the Harriman-H«mburg-Aincrika agreement. If. is intended to commence operations with linea from Xew York to Bremen, via Baltimore, Boston to Bremen, and Xew York to Danzig. The conditions bold good for five years, and at© efterwards renewable annually. Mes'sra Alfred Ilolt and Co., Liverpool, tho Canadian Government Merchant Marine, Ltd., and. the Canadian National Railways have entered' into an agreement ■whereby a joint steamship service will be established between Vancouver and the Orient. Under this agreement tho Canadian National Railway a and ■ the Canadian Government Merchant Marine, Ltd., will be represented in the-Orient-b? JJessrs Butterfield and Swire, tho present "agents for the Holt interests, thus securing the advantage of an old and strongly-established organisation. Messrs Holt, 'on the other hand, will secure the support of the Canadian National Railways in - . tlie development of business for their Bteameiß 'in- the joint , service. _ As tho lines ' of-the' Canadian National Railway® .extend to all' impoliant sections' of Canada between tlie Atlantic and tlie Pacific, this new joint steamship service on the Pacific will have e, ■♦trans-Continental railway operating 1 over of line, in Canada. 1 Mbssre Yickera have launched, from their Barrow.'.shipyard tho steamer Cortoua, for the • Donaldson Line, of Glasgow. The vessel , has been specially, constructed f<» the' South American meat trade,' arid is 414 ft long, with a displacement of 13,000 tons. Sir James McKenzie, e director, speaking at the luncheon, said that, even at tho present enormous price of coal, one pennyworth would carry Gib of meat from South' America <0 this country. "When all the ship's costswere considered, it would be found that freight rates formed a very small itsjn.in the cost of food. Transport and' labour charges were the preponderating itcme. He hoped the day was not far distant when boilers 1 would be dispensed with in ships of that eis:e, and oil engines substituted, because this would very materially affect the cost of transport. Then 101b would bo carried fo- each pennyworth of fuel oil consumed lor GOOO miles. . He saw, too, gTeat possibilities in a combination of sails and oil eigines. i _l_ , * PURCHASE OF LINERS.
