'this year

a depreciation in values as compared with the let January, 1920, of 23 per cent. in the first six months and over fifty per cent. by the end of the year. Never in the history of shipping have values fallen to such an extent, but it had been generally recognised by experi- enced shipowners that, having reached such unheard prices, when the slump did come the fall must be of a record character. In 1900, which was considered the boom year for shipping, the valua of a 7,500 tonner reached £60,630, but it took about fivo years for prices to fall fifty per cent. This year it has taken less than six months from the highest figure reached."
