Though it is impossible to be ún. duly optimistic, he says, he thinks "the world's stage is set for a re- covery of trade, and that we shall see a beginning of that recovery, as far as shipping is concerned, during the present year, providing owners refrain from building new tommage."
There is every indication in the state of the British shipbuilding trade that owners are not anxious to add unduly to the already large amount of surplus tonnage exist. ing, and bad as that may be for

view of the huge number of vessels which are laid up all over the world. He points to the fact that the in- creased tonnage built last year was largely due to the number of tank- ers constructed, and that there was. no excessive building of ordinary cargo vessels.
Referring to the huge quantitiea of grain that may require moving during the year, he points out that in Canada, the Argentine, Austra lia, the United States, etc., there is potential work in view for a large number of vessels were it not for the difficulty of finding markets for the produce, particularly in view

If Russia would only import something like the scale of her ex- ports the beneficial result would be great, both to Russia and to her customera. The more settled con- ditions in China made it, possible to look forward

Shipowners this year must be prepared to face changed condi tions under three aspects, the in- ereased cost of coal, an Increased cost of insurance, and the possibi- lity of labour disturbances. These are factors which will call for the groateat care of those associated with the shipping trade if the pro- mises of better results are to be realised.

Serious Falling Off Of Orders
The annual report of the ship-
building and engineering activities of the Metropolitan-Cammell Car riage Waggon and Finance Co., Cammell- Ltd. (better known as Laird and Co.), at its Birkenhead yard states that the tonnage reach- ed shows an increase over that for 1929.
For the first eight months of the Company year the works of the were well employed, but almost ex- clusively on contracts secured dur
of ing 1920; and owing to lack fresh orders there has been a seri ous falling-off during the latter part of the year. For the last six months in particular there has been practically no new work offering. and the outlook for the coming year) is not encouraging.
The amount of repair work car ried out in the first half of the year with the compared favourably amount of work done in the corres- ponding period of the previous year, but in the latter half there was a This was considerable reduction. enused, no doubt, by the increase in the number of ships that were laid of ship- up, and the reluctance owners to carry out any repairs be-i yond those vitally necessary.
