About thirty years ago it was the custom of certain shipbuild ere in the United Kingdom tom accept ordere for the construction
of cargo steamers from all sorta: and conditions of people on the payment of $500 in cash and the balance over a number of years. Thie, Fairplay states, continued: for twenty years, when heavy: losses by shipbuilders and bank- ers put a stop to the system, with the result that a very much larger amount has now to be paid in cash than in the old days. Japanese cargo-boat owners have hitherto confined their tention to purchasing second-:: hand steamers in Europe at chesp rates, and have been able to make very large profits owing to low working expenses and the
fact that the vessels were insured
With: against total lows only. increased prosperity these owners have recently decided to haild new steamers, and a comparatively large number of cargo steamers have been contracted for with Japanese bailders. It is impossible for this owners in many cases to provide the necessary cash, and the old British system of $500 down not having so far been adopted in Japan, arrangemente have

It will thus be seen, continues Fairplay, that owing to the very high rates of interest current in Japan, Japan- ese ahipowers might conceivably, doring & depression, find it im
