Year: 1892
COMPTITION. THE three leading steamship companies on the China coast are fighting again. After a brief interval of peace, under a "pool" arrangement, Messrs. BUTTEEFIELD and SWIRE have declared war, by an nouncing (privately, to the China Merchants and JARDINE, MATHESON & Co.) that the y will no longer undertake to keep freights at the rates agreed on, but will do their best to cut down prices.
