THE CENSUS ON SH1pBrmn1Ne

There are some points Of interest IN the
census bulletin on shipbuilding in the
United States, notably that the very rapid
growth of the industry, which is chiefly
occupied with the construction of vessels
for the coasting trade, has brought about
the investment of capital to such a large
extent that the new yards are prepared to
take orders for much outside business,
The coasttng vessel business the yards
have all to themselves. as there is no for
eign competition, and, according to the
census bulletin, which is prepared by an
expert, the reduction in the cost of iron
and steel has effected substantial re-
duction in the cost Of construction, and it
is no wonder, therefore, that Mr. Hill
can boast thai he ds having two oy00ea atom
freighters built at an American shipyard
5at as lowsaHcost az they can BE. built. III
Europe. The capital invested in the ship
building industry in the census year was
s77,362, 701, an increase in ten years of
about 10000, oO0.
There Is only a slight increase In
wooden shipbuilding, while nearly all the
steel constructive works, which have in
creased from Is to "A. It is noticeable
that the tonnage constructed in the census
year was greater than during any preced-
ing year In our history except in 1854 and
1855, when we were beating the world
tion, which was displaced by the advent CT
the age of iron and steel. The construc-
tion of steel steamships in our yards in
1901 was 50 per cent greater than in the
census year. and these yards represent an
investment Of from $5,000,0oo to $10;0oO,-
become the greatest shipbuilding country
in the world.
Practically long step has been taken
toward this shipbuilding supremacy
through the Morgan steamship merger,
which does not seem so likely to go to
England they talk as il Brittanias rule
over the waves were ended, but that lis
evidently a mistake, for the chief COM
petitors Of the steamship combine are the
Cunard, Allan and the French lines and
/.
Fthes tramp steamers are always ready for
business. Thus the combine expects to
make profit by organizing the business on
a strictly economical basis, preventing
unnecessary sailings Of vessels on sun-
profitable voyages and adjusting the sup,
ply of tonnage to the demand, while the
competition. which is inevitable, will ef-
lfectually prevent excessive freight rates
! A feature of thes combination is that the
feet is under American control, and, al
though all but one Of the constituent lines
is under a foreign flag, the new vessel:
to be built will be con structed in Anaeri
can yards, at least the agreement Will
the White Star reserves this right to The
parties in control, while repairs may bt
made in British yards. There is talk o
great depression in the ship building in
dustry, but the depression Is not very APP
parent to the naked eye.

to name an Arbor day, and that it
