It is usually when the present phase of a depression is reached (namely, after about a year of poor trade) that the shipowner remarks the depression is the worst or one of the worst,that he, has experienc- ed during his connection with shipping, and that the shipbuildor states the present time is the most advantageous. possible for ordering vessels because all shipbuilders are hungry for work and are quot- ing lower prices than will be of available directly the shadow depression begins to lift, says the September Motor Ship.

Such comments have, fact, in practically these words, recently been made in various directions and we do not intend any irony in For they Are associating them. both-each in its way-correct and the shipowner whose resources are large and whose vision and ex perience are considerable, would agree, at least in principle, with the shipballder. But as each de- pression comes, we are inclined to consider it as based upon different foundations from the last and pos sibly to forget the experience of previous difficult periods over emerge from the difficulties with which we are now surrounded.
