Last year 2,122 ocean steamers of T.
100000 gross tons, including several
hundred small tramp steamers, entered
American ports in foreign trade The
export import and passenger business
of the United States would require the
continuous employment of 1850 steam
ers of 100000 tons, or over 20 per cent
of the worlds foreign going steamers.
We employ, however, 40 per cent of the
large and fast steamships of the world
Speed is less useful to commerce than
great size in steamers, but American
trade exacts both. American require
merts have thus intensified the ten
dency in ocean trade towards central
ization.
The report prints at length the agree
ment of the Transatlantic merger, and
it's fleet Of over LOCO, 900 tons. The or
ganization of so great a navigation
company under American auspices is,
however, the most important step
huence of Americans on the ocean
which has been taken, since, through
the rebuilding of the navy, modern
shipbuilding plants We're developed in
the United States. The relations of the
merger TO the trade of the United States
will be exceptional, the only parallel
being the relations of the two great
German lines to Germany's commerce.
Since 1894 steamers in the foreign
trade of the United States under for
eign flags but owned by large-prob-
ably a majority-interest of American
capital have increased from 100000 tons
to over 100000 tons. In the same in
terval, steamers under American reg
lister. including those in Hawaiian trade,
have increased from 224, 900 tons to only
ose,0O0 tons. The policy of subsidies
is the only method at the present time
by which American-built steamers with
American crews can obtain any con
siderable share of foreign trade.
The repeal of compulsory pilotage on
sail vessels in the coasting trade and
minor changes in the navigation laws
are recommended.
The report reviews the worlds ocean
steamship commerce for 1901 on the
basis of reports of steamship companies
owning about 10 per cent of the tom
mage in the worlds foreign and colonial
trade These reports indicate that the

Bonds for Water Supply.

Stockholders of the Waimea Sugar
Company yesterday authorized the is
suance of bonds to the amount Of
s125,OO0 for the purpose of bringing wa
ter from the Waimea river to the plan
tation. The stockholders considered al
length plan for entering into a con-
tract with company of japanese, for

Of the plantations crops, and it was
decided that the contract shall be ac-
cepted by the corporation. 1t is deemed
highly advantageous.

AMERICAN COMMERCE.

The annual report of the Commits
sioner of Navigation shows that on
June 80, 1902, the documented tonnage
of the United States was the largest
in our history, comprising 24,27S vessels
of 5,797. 1902 gross tons. The increase
over last year is almost wholly in large
steel steamers, built by relatively few
shipbuilding plants for relatively few
ship-owning corporations. The normal
tendency of shipbuilding and shipown-
ing is accelerated in the United States
by liberal appropriations for deeper,
wider and straighter channels based
on the fact that large steamers are more
economical carriers and do more to pro-
mote our foreign and domestic com
merce by water. In ten years the num-
Der OF American, British and German
square-rigged vessels has decreased
so per cent.
Tonnage registered for foreign trade
shows slight and unexpected, decrease
of 6,574 tons, which is more than offset
by it's increased efficiency as steamers
supersede sail vessels. American ves-
sells carried 8.S per cent of our exports
AMI imports, compared with SO per cent
in 1901.
The outlook for steel shipbuilding in
the United States for the current fiscal
year is not so promising as was last
years, but the same is true of Great
Britain, where 100000 tons of steel
vessels were building on Sept. &c. 1902,
compared with 100000 tons on Sept.
so. 1901. On July 1, 1902. there were
building or under contract in the United
States 347, 500 tons of steel merchant
vessels. A large percentage OF the to-
tai has been finished in the first quar-
ter of the year and no new large con-
tracts on the seaboard are reported.
The report contains review of the
crews Excluding masters) required to
man the sea going vessels of the United
States of over 100 tons, foreign and
coasting trade combined. In round
numbers American seagoing steamers
require $4,000 men, American square
rugged vessels, 5000 men and American
schooners, 10000 men. These are. di-
vided according to the work they per-
form into: officers Excluding masters),
AGO; petty officers, 2.7Oo; seamen IA, 800;
cadets, 100; boys, 700; engineers, $500;
water tenders, 400; oilers, 1,20c; fremen,
$500; coal rassers $500; electricians,
etc. 300; cooks, 5000; stewards, $500;
stewardesses, 300; miscellaneous, in
GLIDING pursers, doctors, ETC., ZOO
Crew lists indicate that $1,000 are
Americans born or naturalized and 49,
GEO are foreigners. The American pro-
portion in the coasting trade, of course.
is larger than in the foreign trade, and
is increasing. The foreign elements in
our crews seem to be substantially as
follows: British, 500; Scandinavians
1880; Germans, 1000; Russians, 900;
Austrians, 800; Italians, 500; Chinese
500; French, 300; Japanese, 300; Portu-
slese, 700; Spanish, 900: all others
LOO BY comparison it is noted that
III 1900 British vessels Were manned by
175.0o0 British. $1,000 foreigners and &c
900 Lascars and Chinese. The crews OF
merchant ships of other nations are
