The outbreak of hostilities oom ing so enddenly, a world-wide financial panio was averted by the prompt action of our government, to whole forethought and promp- titude we owe so muab. Taen, the shipping insurance cohemia 80 quickly inaugurated inspired all ship owners with confidence.
We must not, however, forget how much we are indebted to our Admiralty, who have done their part so quietly and so thoroughly, With so much uncertainty exiat- ing early in August, a slump in freights and values of steamers naturally occurred, and for two months it was scarcely possible to obtain a bid, and prices for bailding were practic lly is low. as they have been for a long time past. Since then, however, there has been a very great change.
Most of the shipyards are fall to overflowing, freights have ad- vanced in many instances over 100 percent, and those ship owners who30 steumers are not tied up are rapping profits nover before experienced.
What every one connected with abipping now seks ie:
"How long will this war last, and what will be the result afterwards?" To the latter question our opinion is there may be at first a set-back; but not long afterwarde steamship owner in general will be benefited.
At the present moment most of our shipyards have sufficient or dera to last them well into 1916, Bad few builders can give earlier delivery Prices for building have advanced in six months from 10 to 20 per cent, and what new steamers were building on speculati,n have been nearly all disposed of
Second-band tonnage is diffi cult to obtain except at extreme prices, and large profits bave been quietly realized. The amount of
