SHIPPING NEWS.

Notice to Mariners.

All bearings given are magnetic, and depths are those of low water of spring tides.

A. 3,900-Ton Concr-te Ship.

Nows transmitted through the wireless stations of the United States from a Pacific port says The world's largest concrete ship has been launched, and named The Faith The vessel is 3201t. loug, and has a displacement of 7,900 tons. It will here a speed of 10 of 11 kaots The ship is len times larger thin any concrete boat previously built in this country, The builder of the vassel has estated. When this -- boat has passed her tests I expect we shall send her to the Orient. sad when she returns we shall know all about her qualities. At present there are no insurance quotations covering c’acrete ships. The matters relating to those ressels are as cew to everyone else as they are "to ourselves.

Suez Cang) Traffle.

Under the rules of the Suez Canal Co, if any cargo is once earried in a space exempted from the tonnage of the ship, that space is added permanently to the tormage of the ship; and canai dues are charged on that sp.com for ever afterwards. This prevent owners from carrying any goods. whatever in the superstructures and other exempted spaces, and" it is most important at the present time that ships should fill up, every available space with foodstuffs and other essential commodities The Board of Trade recently proposed to the Suez Canal Company that as a war emergency measure the above rule should be suspended during the war, and that if the cargo were carried' in fanèr- empted space, dues should be charged on that space on each occasion on which it was occupie by cargo, bat, that the space should not be permanently added to the tonnage of the ship. The Suez Canal Company at once, with any hesitation, accepted this suggestion as soon as it was put before them, and official letters have been sent to the Shipowners' Associations il form- ing them of this decision.

New Fre ght Schedule for French Ports.

It cannot be said, declarea The Compendium," that the new schedules of freights for the French ports for steamers ånd sailing vessels under 1,000 tons. have found fall favour with the. shipowners. In the first place, they apply only to British ships, and not to Allied ships; and, in the second place, the rates are considerably below the figures which have lately obtained in the trade, so the British owners are, in effect, to be renalised for. serving in the French trade, and under the licensing system will - probably find their vessels diver~~ ted the French trade, whether they like it or not. To this ap- parently unfair discrimination, however, the reply is that war conditions and the needs of our Ally make it imperative and recognising this owners have submitted with good grace and without much complaint Time will prova-whether or not the scale of freights is adequate.to: the occasion, but in the mean-" time the rates will-be enforced, and unless they prove to be actually unremunerative we shall probably bear no more about them. But in the case of the home trade fraights, the schedule throughout is based on a reduc- tion London from the Tyce, for
