AMERICAN SHIPPING.
PROBABLE DEMAND FOR SUBSIDIES. Unitkd Piikbb Asbooiation— CorvniaHT (Received September 26, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 25.
The “Times” San Francisco correspondent reports that a determined' demand may again be made to induce Congress to pass a Ship Subsidy Bill, or some such measure, for the protection of American shipping. Oakland Greek, he states, is full of ships which may never put to sea again. The Oceanic Steamship Company’s steamers have been lying idle for two years, owing to inability to compete with the British and Japanese vessels running between San Francsico and Australia. There are only five American ships now engaged in the trans-Pacafic trade.
