NEW MERCHANT SHIPS
Decline In British Yards
FOREIGN INCREASE Quarterly returns of Lloyd's Re- rister show that at the end of March there were 239 merchant vessels of 1,089,077 tons under con- struction in Great Britain and Ire- land. This amount was less by 36,349 tons than that which was being built at the end of Decem ber, but was more by 74,623 tons than the shipping under construc- flon a year ago.
The quarterly returns for Decem ber 31 had shown a reduction of 52,209 tona
the total for September 30, says the Times.
About 211,000 tons of the ship- ping now being built in Great Britain and Ireland, equivalent to 19.4 per cent., are intended for re- gistration abroad, or for sale.
Abroad-no returns have been received from Russla and complete Information is not available for Spain-there are now being built 1,805,819 tons, being more by about 31,000 tons than the work which was in hand at the end of Decem- ber.
