One Italian stcamship com- pany. composed of the Transatlantica Italiana and the Nacional ‘de Navi- gacion, already has sent two steam- ers to Chile by the Panama route. It is "nounced that the company in- tends to add ten more steamers to the line making a total of six pas- senger and six freight vessels whnich will voyage alternately by the Straits of Magellan and the Panama cunal. The government of Chile has agreed to subsidize these ships by payment of £700 for cach cargo shipped and 900 to each passenger and freight vessel. More recently the Italian Naviga- tion company has sent to Chile its steamer lLa Veloce. The Compagnie Generale Transatlantigue announ that direct communication will established between Havre and paraiso by way of Panama by the use of the steamer San Luis. The Swedish company has resumed sery- ice’ to Chile and there is talk of a Dutch line of steamers from Java by the way of Australia. As a result of these activities freights have begun to decline. This has stimulated the commerce of all the west coast and especially the ex- | portation of nitrate and tural products of Chile.
