In the earlier part of the year par
tial accounts appeared as to tn.
amount of ship-building turned sou,
in the various ports OF the United
Kingdom where this industry is car
ried on, but return has just bosa
issued by the Board of Trade on the
subject, and 1t must, Of course, be ac-
cepted as a complete authentic rec
ord. The tonnage built for home and
the colonies was 501,ls4 tons, and
for foreigners lo1 .694; in all COS, ,a5s
tons. This exceeded 1874 by 5000
tons, bnt it was far in adyance.ot anY
other year. Leaving out Of sight the
vessels constructed on foreign ac-
count, we find that towards the home
and colonial tonnage the Clyde was
the largest contributor. Takisa thas,
river on both sides, from the reaches
above Glasgow to Greenock "a the
ultimate point, it would appear .Eat
169 vessels, consisting of SIS sailing
ships and ia steamers, were launch
ed, The aggregate tonnage being 1885,
o94 tons. Next in order came the.
Tyne ports, with log vessels of 81.
9l5 tons, but it is deserving Of note
that the total los were steamers OF
9l,e40 tons, the three sailing ships
averaging only 80 tons each. In

jerland follows, and the callbre Of
70 vessels launched is conspicuous, ,iu-
asmuch as fous were sailing ships Of
1860 tons, and 66 were steamers Of
~, ,055 tons. Fourth Or the list are
the TIartlepools, where 80 steamers OF
32,3s3 tons were turned' out. Ne

The Mersey comes next in order, the
number Of vessels launched being zs. /
of 25,447 tons comprising Q sailing
ships of IL ,O5l tons, and IA steam-
ers of 1897 tons. In this instance,
the large capacity of the vessels %
compared with their numbers is evs--
dent. Stockton follows with total
tonnage of 23,sls tons. contributed
by 8 sailing vessels of 724s tons and
10 steamers Of 1910 tons, the pre-
vaillng demand for large vessels be-
ing again exemplifed. The same rule
has been observed at several other
ship building centers, OF which the
principal may be noted, but as for the
most part the sailing vessels built.
were limited both as regards number
and capacity, details may be con-
6ned to steamers: Barrow had Il
steamers Of 1922 tons; Belfast IL,
of 1884 tons; Dundee IL, Of ll,7l0
.ons; Middlcsborouah 8, of 923l tonsi
Hull 6, of 6s73 tons; Whitby 6, OF
$3.50 tons. A contrast, however, has
been presented in other districts to-
which reference has been made. At
Southampton there were launched IT
'ailing ships OF s424 tons, aard 8
teamers OF 2975 tons; at I.eith SAIL
