Taking into account Ihe overhaul, general and wharf ex penses ihere is u saving or another tn,ui which brings the total improvement in the o,era: in? position up lo i'M7. 1 it. During most of the ten iiivnlli' the C.U.M.M. has had to ships. in commission and on tlie wiioie business has been much belter thap in preeedin? year.. Thi was particularly llie ease in me Australia and West Indie freight services, where the operating rntip have been 1110 I satisfac tory and the earnings considerable. The inlereoaslal service.

So fur as the intereoaslal traffic i concerned, we' are safe in saying thai had il not been for the intereoaslal service that Mime of the business would hnvel onie from nearby United Slate! ports instead of from manufac turing plants in Canada.
