According to advices received from
London, over 100000 tons of shipping
has been chartered by the British
Admiralty in connection with the war
A rough idea of the cost may be had
by assuming that the vessels are char
tered at an average probably of not less
than s. per ton per month; in other
words, charge Of about $1,000, 900 per
month is being incurred during the
time Of their engagement. This is in
dependent of the large sums paid for
carriage of soldiers or stores by vessels
Of the Castle. Union and other lines. in
the course of their current voyages,
and not under charter to the British
government For some of the finer
class of transports $50 and, il is re-
ported. in one instance, 1915 per ton
per month has been paid
