in the course of an article in the Daily I do not think, says Mr. Jack Boyer, fail, that I am divulging any manage Fial secrets when I state that quite a large percentage of English clubs to-day are of the look-out for new players.
The majority of the clubs having cam pleted practically a quarter of their fixtures, many are fading that the optimism at the start of the season has not beck maintained.
Directly a side gets badly, beaton; or has a bad patch, a section of its followers start writing to the officials, demanding that players of the very highest class shall be signed on.
In the transfer of players clubs can be classifed ander two distinct headings- vi, the clubs, who, not requiring the services of a player and having a healthy bank balance, are prepared either at the end of the season to give him a free transfer or to treat reasonably with a club making application for him.
On the other hand, there are cluba in the lower divisions, doing only fairly wol, and their existence depending on the annual transfer of one or more of their star performers.
The reason that ́so many clubs are in the hunt for players is that there are more clubs affiliated to the Football As- sociation to-day than ever before, and a large number of them are professional organisations, with the result that the supply of footballers is not meeting the demand.

AMERICAN SHIPPING. INCLINATION FOR WORLD CO-OPERATION.
The view that European shipowners are showing an inclination to co-operate in every possible way with operators of American flag tonnage was expressed recently by Mr. Emmer J. McCormack, treasurer of the Moore & McCormack Co., in the course of an interview with a representative of the New York Journal of Commerce. Mr. McCormack has re- turned from a tour of Europe, during which he visited Denmark Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, Holland and France. Referring to the continued de pression in trans-Atlantic freights, Mr. McCormack said all owners are seeking some means of stabilizing rates at a live- able level. Notwithstanding the British cool strike, he said, a great part of the European feet is getting Westphalian coal at Danzig, the cost of this goal being only a few shillings more than before the strike.
All responsible owners of steamship enterprises in Europe," he added, "re- gard the American merchant marine na an actuality, and seem inclined to co- operate whenever possible to do so, as they feel that trade with the United States is an important part of their business and do not wish to disturb these business relations. They feel that it is the best policy to co-operate with the United States in its efforts to obtain a fair share of its own commerce.
European owners also feel that the present difficulties of shipping are due to the excess of world tonnage, and not to the efforts of American owners to obtain a fair share of world trade. They are hopeful, too, that world tonnage will be reduced in the next few years to the level of the world's cargo requirements."

ITALIAN SHIPPING.
DEPRESSION CAUSED BY BRITISH COAL STRIKE.
Figures published by the Chambers of Commerce of Trieste and Fiume show the traffic at those two ports during the first six months of this year, and these, particularly in the case of the former, show very clearly the effect of the British coal stoppage on Adriatic trade.
The imports by rail into Trieste totailed 6,725,202 tons, as compared with 8,814,964 tons in the corresponding half of 1925, while the overland exports drop- ped from 6,789,139 tons to 5,014,740 tons. Similarly, exports by Бел remained practically unchanged at 4,827,170 tone (against 4,970,733 tons), but the volume of cargo landed in the port reached only 8,915,683 tons, as compared with 10,142,358 tons a year previously.
The report accompanying the statistics states that the decline in exports by ruil is due to the decreased purchasing power of the Trieste hinterland, which is a ro flection" of the general economic depres sion, while the falling off in imports by sez is attributed almost entirely to the cessation of coal shipments from the United Kingdom. At Fiume the situation is very similar.
Imports by sea this year were only 207,794, tons, as compared with 227,114 65 tona in the first half of 1925, "but exports 64 increased from 152,690 tone to 187,025 tons. The greater part of the export trade "consisted of shipments of timber from Jugoslavia, while the importe were chiefly coal, rice, phosphater, pyrites, tobacco and oil.
