London, who, with Messrs Staley. Radford and Co., have acted as loadine-' brokers for the Shaw. Savill anJ Albion Co/i and th» Nrn Zealand Shipping Co.'i itoamers, which have in the past maintained the direct service between London and Hobnrt. Messrs Green and Co. stated that thsy apprehended that wh«m normal iondltions wera restored, the nth-notions of the Panama Canal route would influence tho Shaw. Savill Co. towards voyages westward to New Zealand, thereby terminating tbo eorvic* that had been manitained for so many years via Hobart. It was resolved that, in view of tho

creat loss that would ensue to Tasmania, not onlv from, an importer's point of view, but also to shippers of apples to South America, who would no longer have the opportunity of reaching that market, the shipping committee of the chamber wait upon tho Prenv.er, and ask him to cable the Agent-General in London, with a view to having the service restored, and if this is not successful to ask that the claims ot Tasmania be laid before tho Federal Government with a view to arranging for thb Commuiiwcaltti Line of steamers making a fortnightly call at Hobart to replace tho service formerly maintained bv the Shaw, SaviU and Albion and New Zealand Shipping companies. j OVERSEAS VESSELS. !
