Nearer Europe.

New London is from eight te twelve hours nearer Europe than New York. As far as passengers and express freights are concerned, a vessel could be decked at New London, passengers landed and sent on express trains to New York and arrive in New York five hours earlier than the ship could touch the dock at New York We have the money for the erection of large piers, which will be equipped with the most up-to-date appliances for hand ling freight in the world. When these are available, the economy of using New London will induce shipping an terprises to seek pier space here. The delay in leading and unloading in New
 York reduces the number of trips eacf
 ship can make, with consequent de- crease in earning capacity. In New London there would be nc port charges
