Speaking after the launch at Partick of a steamer (the "Celtic Monarch") for tho Monarch Line, of Glasgow, Sir Frederick N. Henderson, K.B.E., and Sir William H. Raeburn, Bart., both referred to present conditions in the shipbuilding and shipping trades as the worst they' had experienced. At present, Sir William stated, all ships were not even earning depreciation, and he did not believe there would be any boom in shipping,
Sir Frederick N. Henderson, K.B.E., said the problem of ma- chinery now called for much con- sideration on the part of ship- owners, but Messrs. Raeburn and Verel had decided in favour of the | reciprocating, engine for that vessel. In this, he thought they had been very wise, especially as they had adopted a comparatively high steam pressure and a high speed for a cargo boat. This would give the vessel an elasticity of speed which would enable her owners to run her most econo-

A brother shipbuilder had been advising shipowners to dispose of their older vessels and order new ships. He did not think, however, that owners were taking this ad- vice. They were building to suit themselves, "and builders would
