An important commercial undertaking has just been consummated in Japan in the shape of the Union Steamship Company. This company is backed by private and government capital. It ...is intended to develop the trade of Japan, particularly at ports which have hith- erto suffered from lack of steam communication. The capital stock is $8,000,000, half sub- scribed by the government and half by Japanese merchants and farmers. The latter part has already been paid in. The company's fleet will at first consist of forty steamers, about half of which will be running within eighteen months. The company will extend its operations to Hong Kong and the Chinese ports. — N. V. Herald, Jan, 18, 1883.
