MORE SHIPS NEEDED.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The scarcity of ship room limits the
export or pig iron from the South pre-
cisely as it hampers the export Of coal
from northern ports to satisfy existent
European demands. The need of more
ships is admitted on every hand. What
ever slackening there may be in other
lines OF manufacturing production, ship
building will be lively for years to come.
