INDICATIONS OF A TURN OF TIDE.
There is a growing belief that the frat indications of the turn of the
tide in shipping will come with an increased demand for tankers, and that this will create better feeling There are, in the whole industry. even now, signs of hopefulness in the tanker market, which for many months has shown so unsatisfactory the Motor un appearance, states Ship.
For the first time for nine months the fall in the production of oil has been stayed, and during the past six or seven weeks the output It has been more or less constant. is true that it is constant ut the lowest level reached for some years, but it needs only a small propor- tional increase in the use of petrol, for instance, to call for a greatly increased. tonnage of tankers transport it.

The opinion was expressed last month by those connected with the City oil business in America that a slow and steady improvement was now to be anticipated. The daily produc- tion of oil in America totals little over 2,000,000 barrels per day, while the figure a year ago was 30 per cent, greater,
It does not need much vision to realise that when the production and requirements of oil fuel again reach normal figures all the tanker tonnage now in ser- vice, as well as the several hundred thousand tons to be completed with- in the next reur, will find remunera- tive employment. It will probably not be more than 12 months before contracts
on 2 large scale for tankers which mainly implies motor vessels-will again be placed.
There is now being built a 2,500- ton twin-screw cargo and passenger ships for service on the Yangtsze River in China, and in it will be in- stalled two 875 b.h.p. Sulzer two- stroke engines of the new light- weight type running at 210 r.p.m. They have been constructed at the Sulzer Works in Germany. This vessel is the largest oil-engined ship now building at a Chinese yard, states the Motor Ship.
