Kise in Value of Tonnage, There has been a remarkable rise in the value of shipping ton- nage. A cargo steamer of 3,900 tops was built in 1905 at a cost of £31,750, and has just been sold for £40,500, or 814,750 more than her original oɔst 10 years ago. Her value for insurano) in the State Boheme was only | £20,320, since the Government valuation isarrived at after deduct. ing from the cost depreciation at the rate of 4 percent. for each year singe. Even now, with the addi- tion of 20 per cent. permitted on valuss, she would only be rated under the Government scheme at | £24,380. That leaves 623,120 se the difference between the price actually paid for the ship and the Government valuation. A further. example is a steamer of nearly | 3,000 tons, built in 1899 and sold: in May of last year for 14,500; in August for £18,000 in No vember for £20,000; and early this year for £25,000, an appreci stion within 12 months of more than 70 cent L. and C.
