' GERMAN SHIPPING COMMEK'CE. The most important German shipping companies have ceased, with Imperial sanction, to issue reports or balance-siieets, 60 that how they have fared. during the war cannot bo officially determined, states an exchange. .Some of. the ,6'maller-'.con-cerns continuo to publish' their accounts, but the optimism prevalent on the outbreak of war has disappeared. The Hensburg Shipping. Company, in recording a loss, speaks of an entire cessation of income except from investments. ■ At the eamd time, the directors decline to'-write down the valuation of the fleet' on the expressed assumption, that the company will receive an indemnity at the end-of the War. Some of the companies which' were establishing a Baltic trade, speak of the action of British submarines forcing- up insurance rates to a level which almost wipe out the- trading profit. The commonest . solace to the shareholders," however, .is still tho hopo of an indemnity. • .
