The long continuing depression in the world freight market has brought about a further increase in the number of ships which have had to be laid up in Sweden,

300 gross ships of over

tons which were laid up in Sweden at the beginning of this year amounted to 188,000 deadweight tons, increased to 326,000 tons at the commencement of February, and further rose to 196 ships of 128,000 deadweight tons March 1. All sizes of ships have participated in the augmentation, the largest number being those of between 1,000 and 2,000 tons. In the case of Norway, the idle ships numbered 238 858,000 deadweight tons January 1, increasing to vessels of 1,023,000 tons February 1 and further to 315 ships of 1,128,000 tons on March 5 of which 64 of 250,000 tons ap plied to Bergen.

CARGO STEAMER SUNK.

Feared Loss of 10 Lives.

Douglas, March 18. The steamer Citrine, of Glasgow, was wrecked off the southern coast of the Isle of Man on Tuesday night, and it is feared that there are only two survivors, who managed to scramble ashore. The Citrine, a cargo vessel of 580 tons, belonging to William Robertson, Glas- gow, left Belfast Light al i o'clock on Monday after- for Trevor, North Wales. noon She carried a crew of 11 and one passenger, Leopold Warren, aged 17, of Glasgow, the son of the ship'a cook.

The ship met bad weather and when approaching the Manx coast anchored off Bangor for 24 hours, on Tuesday night, a thick mist came on, and the Citrine was trying to pick up the Chickens light on the extreme south of the island, when she struck the rocks under Bradda Head. She was some seven miles north of her proper course, having been carried by 3 apparently strong tide, which sets north at this point. After she struck, the cap tain gave orders for full steam astern, and the boat slid off the rocks into the water. She must, however, have been badly holed, us she at ance began to fill. An at- tempt was made to launch a boat, but before that could be done the crew were washed into the sea. Hugh Morrison, 32, and Leopold Warren, managed to swim to the foot of the cliffs. They saw the ship turn on her side and sink.

Morrison states that while swim- ming ashore he could hear the
