Growth of the winter-cruise business is one of the most surpris ing developments in the maritime world. While for a number of years, with the exception of the war period, there had been a few apecial voyages in winter months, both to the Mediterranean and to the West Indies, it is only in the past three years that the vogue has developed to its present extent. During the coming winter, it was recently fore- east by James W. Boring, president of Boring's Travel Service, Inc., 100,000 Americans will take ocean Dec-voyages of some sort. Several of these cruises will be handled by Mr. Boring's agency, others are being planned by various travel agencies and some by the steamship companies themselves or in asso- ciation with such organisations as the American Express Company, Raymond & Whitcomb Company, or Thomas Cook & Son Company.

Pacific Tours
The cruise business is also grow. ing rapidly in the Pacific. This fall the Los Angeles Steamship i ́ Company Inaugurated a new cruise with its steamship "City of Les Angeles," which has just sailed on a 65-day voyage around South America.
The steamship "Malolo" of thei Matson Line was scheduled to make a trip from north Pacific coast ports! in November, departing from Tacoma Nov. 5, Seattle Nov. 6, and Portland Nov. 9, arriving in Hono- lulu Nov. 14. This is the "Malolo's" first visit to northern waters, und passengers may voyage to other ports in the Hawaiian islands, re- joining the "Malolo" later for her regular trip from Honolulu to San Francisco.

Frequency of Canal Transits Computing the frequency of tran- sits made by vessels through the Panama Canal it has been ascer tained that 1811 individual ships were responsible for the total num- ber of vessels transited in the last fiscal year, numbering 6450,
Of these ships, 499 made one transit (27 per cent. of the total) 493 made two trapsits, and from this point, the figures dwindle to 23 vessels making 10 transits, and growing proportionately smaller until the high mark is reached with 65 transits recorded by one vessel. This ship is the motor vessel tobal, Panama, and west coasts of "Chiman," plying between Cris- Panama and Colombia.

San Francisco, Oct. 6. Definite announcement that the Dollar Steamship Line will build a group of our speedy ocean liners was made yesterday by R. Stanley Dellar, ita vice president and gen- eral manager,
This is declared to be the first half of a stupendous construction programme which will call for the ultimate expenditure of approxi- mately $56,000,000.
The first four units, plans, for which have been nearly completed, will cost about $7,000,000, Mr. Dollar said. It has been practical- ly decided that the turbo-electric drive will be adopted in order to obta.n the speed desired, which will exceed

Wheat Through Panama Canal During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1928, the Fanama Canal Record reports the movement of 3,000,000 tons of wheat through the canal, doubling the tonnage of the pre- vious year. Two-thirds of thla originated in Canada, over 96 per cent. of the total movement being to Europe. Practically all wheat moved through the canal was, of course, eastbound, and this commodity, now ranks. third in volume of tonnage, being exceeded only by mineral oils and lumber.
