Bunkering at Port Said It has been reported, says an exchange, that several steamship companies, British as well as Japanese, bad decided to send Tassels from Europe to the Far East via the Cape instead of Saez owing to the difficulty of banker- ing at Port Sid It is improc. able that the difficulty of coaling at Port Said or Sarz would be sufficiently serious to cause ships Datu, to be diverted so great a distance snd though some of the Japanean Tessels have actually been went

The only bankering done at Port Said during 1914 was with solar oil for motor ves- sels, the number of which now transiting the canal is gradually increasing. As is known, a inotor -vessel only consumes one ton for inel where an ordinary ship of the same size requires four or five tons. There will, therefore, have to be a very large expansio: în the number of motor vessels be- fore the effect is shown sensibly on the quantity of fuel used for this purpose. The operations of the Egyptian oilfields are gradu ally but surely increasing in im portance, and the fall exploitation of these fields will sooner or later be reflected in the petroleum“ trade at the canal-more esto pecially at the Suez end, but to Borne extent also at the Port Said
