It has been explained shore that the latest additions to the dimensions of ships have been made in vessels of the "intermediate" type, for which the speeds contemplated are considerably below the speed of the great Cunarders, and are moderate in relation to the dimensions of sumptions are, of course, mach redused in consequence of the lower
speeds accepted, ty and the vessels will possess auch larger carge capacities than the Lusitania and Mauretania Opinions differ in regard to the probability of this great cargo capasity being fully, utilized for most of the voyages made each year, ami it is understood that existing ships of the in- termediate type rarely find cargoes, even when coming eastwards, which bring them down to their deep-load lines.

ored by oxperienced shipowners like Mr. Booth, Mr Bruce Ismay, Herr Ballia, and their colleagues on the boards of management of these great shipping companies before they formed and acted upon the decision to face the large expenditure avoidable in the circumstances. Lord Pirria has publicly stated that the first cost of the Olympic will be ap- proximately one-and-a half tallion sterling, and those competant to form an opinion on the subject do not regard that estimate as extrava- gant when the size, passenger Accommodation, and engine power of the ship are taken into Decount
Further increase in the size of steamships would undoubtedly be accompanied by economy in the cost of over-ses transport of cargoes. Brunel understood and clearly stated this law nearly 60 years ago, and it is of universal- application when ships are nader way at Res. On the other hand, if increase in size and cargo capacity should be associated with longur pariods in port, made necessary by the collec ton, shipment, and discharge of larger cargoes, or if, as a rule, full cargoes could not be secured for these very large chips, the consequent dimination of earning power, together with tho incrassel first cost of the ships, the larger allowanoss for depreciation and interest capital, and the lessened proportionate service at sea, might outweigh any economies in cost

From the foregoing figures it will be that the last Eve years have been marked by rapid and enormous increase in the dimensions of steamships, the "biggest ship" laid down hawing been speedily deprived of that distinc tion.
