SHIP PROPERTY about dozen years Of
great depression to the shipping interest OF the
Country, we are able to make review OF one Of
uninterrupted prosperity aud substantial I'm.
pruvement. During the year 1872 legitimate
causes have effected prosper ty In this interest

throughout the great marts OF the world, Is re.
garded as OF solid and permanent order, 30 that
our builders and owners now feel encouraged 70
degree They have not realized since 1850. Whe-
ther it be attributable to great Increase In the

markets Of The word, aud consequently freight
rates have steadily enhanced in all directions.

cost OF construction has not lncreased with these
facts operating In our favor, aud the evident de-
cadence OF lrvn shipbuildiug IN Great Britain, we
have most satisfactory assurance O( an early r..
