THE CHINA MAIL,

From the statistics issued by Lloyd's Register of Shipping re- garding vessels under construc- tion at the end of September, it will be seen that in Great Britain and Ireland there is a reduction of 112,850 tons in the work in hand hs compared with the figures for last June, and the present total- 1.089.768 tans-s also 446,656. Lon lower than the tonnage building at the end of September, 1927. As compared with that date, on the yde there is now a reduction of 27.7 per cent, while on the North East Coast the decrease represents no less than 47 per cent.

The diagram issued with these returns (which shows the tonnage building in Britain at the end of, each quarter since 1882) gives the average tonnage under construction during the last six years-Decem her. 1922, to September. 1928– which only amounts to about
