Ship Building Prospects. Although the urgent demand for new.tonnage which has been a Tamillár feature in shipbuild- ing centres for many months past has cased down considerably, and a scarcity of orders for new boats is noticeable in some quarters, prices; are being well maintained on the whole. The prospect of a reduction in the cost of building cargo-steamers, which is greatly desired by many shipowners, seems still far distant. An
and much more that is booked has still to be done, Irrespective of the large number of orders. temporarily held back owing to the present excessive. cost of building. Wint ground exists for the expectation of some owners that lower prices may soom bo looked for is clear. All the ordinary indications point to a continuance, of high prices for many months to come, and to an increase rather thno a decrease in the present 6gures. Materials are higher than ever, and there are no signs of cheapening influences appearing, whilst the general activity in almost every department of the iron and steel trades certainly tends to stiffen prices for shipyard material. Labour is more expensive and less efficient, for the "Ca'canny dodge has become very popu lar in some yards, and the unions also and that by carefully restricting the number of apprentices the

A correspondent to Fairplay writes: The disastrons explosion on board the Bullfinch will naturally direct attention to the torpedo-boat destroyer type of war-vessel, and the wisdom, or unwisdom, of the policy of sacrificing everything to speed, to the imminent danger of everyone employed in the stokeholds of such craft. No better proof of the gimcrack nature of these Vessels can be found than the fact that very few of them have passed through their trials without having undergone a series of break downs more or less serious in their character, whilst quite a number of boats have been in the water

completed their trials yet. Last week the three several years without having destroyers Ferveni, Otter, and Express were at Greenock undergoing trial-trips, the first-named having been launched between four and five years, whilst there are several more up the river dating back about as long as the Fevent, without any gent immediate prospect of their buifle getting them off their hands. A return of all the torpedo-catchers launched during the past five years and not yet taken over by the Admiralty, with the nuim ber of trials and breakdowns which each has undergone, would be an eye-opener, and might lead to a stop being put to the enormous waste of money which is taking place in connection THE Company's Steamship with the ordering of a class of vessels which are so hard to get passed through their, trials, and which may be expected to break down whenever they are subjected to the strain of active service. A good, strongly-built and engined serviceable boat, steaming 25 knots, would be worth a dozen 30 or 33notters which could not be trusted to run for more than an hour without sending something flying in the engine room, with possibly & repetition of the disastrous results in the Bullfinch case.

tained that the extra coal put on board for stiffening was not is the nature of an ordinary
in Importation chargeable with the import duty of 67 cents per ton; also that the Act Congress permits the transfer of coal from one ship to another of the same Company in the same trade. The payment of duty would attach, as a matter of course, to landed goods, but the Boston authorities insisted that the putting of the coal inte barges for trans- ference to other steamers of the Company amounted to unloading and landing, rendering the coal subject to taxation. But the sea stores or other legitimate equipment" of vessels are: exempt from duty in the States, and the Com- pany also relied on this point: The authorities, however, declined to admit that coal ballast was "sea stores," and in any event considered auch stores to be excessive" in the sense of the regulations, subjecting the excess coal to an estimated amount of duty within the discretion, of the Customs officials. From various points of view this ruling is bighly unsatisfactory and the genorel opinion on this side will undoubted- ly be that retransfer of ballast coal at Bostonparently the higher rates of speed can only be from the talonia to other Cunard boats was not a "landing of the coal in the "importation" sense, and that therefore the duty should not have been imposed on it

New Far Eastern Line. According to information from St. Petersburg, 6. promoters of the new East Asiatic Line of steamers hope and intend to monopolise the whole of the Russian freight to the Far East. This new undertaking, however, is only an offshoot or extension of the East Asiatic Steamship Company formed a few years ago at Copenhagen with the object of increasing the commercial relations of Denmark with Siam, China, and Japan, A fair amount of success has attended the operations of this Company, and great pains have been taken by its managers forsome time past to interest Russian merchants and traders and the Russian Marine Department in the Company. To
In pursuance of this object some of the leading men of the Company made a journey recently to Petersburg, and the result of their endeavours is the formation of a new Russo Danish East Asiatic Steamship Company with Russian and Danish capital, and as a branch of the existing Copenhagen Com pany, with its head quarters at Riga The management of the new undertaking is divided
