PROPOSED AMALGAMATION OF STEAMSHIP COMPANIES

[PjR , PEBBS ASSOOIATIOir,] Sydney, Januarjr 17- At a meeting jOf the Steamship Owners' Association it was decided to ascertain the views of all the steamship Companies in Australasia on the sub ject of amalgamation. It is understood that the Union Company will be in cluded. Owing to the Directorate of one Company being in London,; it is jexpecte'd that three naonths. will. elapse before the opinion of- all can be ob tained. If the Replies are favorable to the project, a Committee will probably be appointed to.enquire into the possi bility of devising a scheme for amalga mation." The Committee of the Association, generally speaking, is in favor of it.
