IMMENSE SHIP PROFITS.

New York. Sept. ia statement
issued by the bondholders committee
of the International Mercantile Marine
company shows that for the six
months ending June 80 last the profits
were in excess of $11,OOO,OOo; after
deducting depreciation charges of
about $2,75O,OO.

purchased five steamships of the
Pacific Mail. The immense profits of
the Mercantile Marine, if thoroughly
understood by the American people,
would weaken the claims of vessel
owners that the seamen's law will
drive the American flag from the
seas"
