| ly among the medium sized vessels en-
gagged in the lumber carrying trade, and

| very little inclination to replace them.

for many years past that it is difficult to
| find anyone who will invest their money

| its being made in the shipping trade but
that profits are made, is the case in a
| great many instances"
