Japanese Ships Sold,

During last year, JapanSEG. ships sold numbered 278 steamers. with a deadweight tonnage of 863,094. Prior to the issue of the Shipping Restriction Act, which was announced in October and tock effect from November 1, the sales market had been unusually briek. A new steamer was quoted at about 100 per ton deadweight in February last year, but went up: by August above Y.1.000. Ordinary steamers, which sold for about 7.250, rose to Y.850 in August. The promulgation of the Restriction Act, however, bought prices down to Y.700 per. t-n deadweight: *****.

Holland and Shipbuilding. The plans for the creation of a large smelting furnace and at steel and rolling mi:lat Ymuiden in Holland, at the ectrance of the North Sea Cana), contemplate the construction of works provid- ed with all the latest appliances, on a waterway navigable for large ships, as the ore to be used would be imported from foreign coun ries. The products of the works would be intended prim- arly for shipbui'ding. In recent years the Dutch shipyards have used abuually not less than 150,000 tons of manufactured iron, with a constantly growing demand, but large quantities also are required in bridge building. engine works, and various other industries. With this plant sit- uated on a deep waterway, as at Ymuiden, convenient for both import and export activities, ils produce could be cheaply and satisfactorily distributed through the country by means of the numerous canais connecting with the North Sea caual. The pre- fiminary plans do not aim at the building of works capable of

Swansea Port and the War.

The annual meeting of the Swansea Harbour Trustées,was held recently, when Mr. Roger Beck, director of Baldwins, who has been acting as chairman pro tem since Sir Griffith, Thomas' resignatión two months ago, was elected chairman of the Trust.. Mr. Beck said Swansea had been barly hit by the war, but he was hopeful that the Government would come to the port's assistance by placing it under State control. He appealed to the bondbolders to held on with every confidence, as he firmly believed brighter times were coming, and that bondholders

continue. Had it not been for the war Swansea would, by ite position and advantages, have been the second port in the Bristol Channel, and he had every hope ^. that the port would revert to what it had been so far as trade & was concerned. He did not undertake the chairmanship with enjyment but with a confi lent trust in the future, and the hope that he would be able to assist the trustees under the present trying conditions.. Me AW. Farr, in pre-enting - the Finance Committee minutes, said the financial statement for the Isst completed month (January): showed a further heavy deficiency of £8,145, which made the total excess of expenditure to the end

Their of January · £96,619. position was due entirely to the cislocation of trade caused by the war. One redeeming feature was that February's trade showed an increase of 45,000 tons as compared with February of last year, and he sincerely hoped the supply of tonnage would be more pleatiful, and that they might be. a still greater "growth in the trade of the port.. The tinplate shipments, however, in February showed a big drop from 25,000 tony in February, year before Jast, to 8,500 tons in February, last year, and practically a similar am ́unt last month. That was a serious loes forthe Trustees, and the 8,000 tons of Hinplates shipped last month was only due to large shipments to France, the increase there being 5,000 tons in the month. They could only hope the termination of the war would see the tinplate industry restored to its previous levels. Swanson's total trade for February - Was 235,674 tone compared with 253.140 tons in February last year, and nearly 384,000 tone in February, 1916.
