LARGEST ELECTRIC LINER. -་-
The purchase by Messrs. Holdin und Co., managers of the Court Line and the United British Steamship Company, of a feet of cargo steam ers, formerly owned in Cardiff, em phasizes the fact, generally re- eognised in shipping circles, that the tramp shipping industry is grad- ually coming into its own again after five or six years of deep de- pression. This long period, during which the freight rates obtainable were insufficient to cover running coats, forced many shipping com- panies Into liquidation, their plight being rendered the more hopeless in that in the majority of cases the, steamers they owned were purchas- ed during the boom of 1919 and 1920, when the value of tonnage reached an

The prosperity of the tramp sec- tion of our Mercantile Marine is a matter which exercises a close bearing upon the national prosper ty. In bad times like those that have been experienced, owners, rather than lose money by keeping their ships in commission, lay them up, and in July last the total idla in British porte alone was 859,739 net tons, which meant, of the unemployment of thousands of shipmasters, officers, deck hands, and remea.
