permitted to purchase steamers from English owners.
 At one sale held recently, a German steamer which had been captured by British warship and condemned in the prize court was offered It was admitted by the auctioneer that cer- tain overhauling would have to be done before she would be allowed to proceed to sea. The boat was ori- ginally purchase in the prize court for under E3,O0O, and for nearly fourteen months had been running under char ter Of the British admiralty, proving a remunerative craft to her owners. The goyqrnment, probably in view of the repairs needed, had no further use for the vessel, nor apparently had the owners.
 The sale was duly advertised, and it was whispered that French buyers were likely to bid. The first offer was G5,OOO for the Steamer, and the bidding rose rapidly in thousands, when il was discovered that French buyers were actually in the market At G20,O00 the boat was knocked down to the Frenchmen.
 Prices averaging G1S to G23 per ton has been the rule of the sales which have been negotiated privately this year, although G25 and los per ton was paid for the steamer Tello, built in 1907, and with a dead weight capacity of 1900 tons. The purchase price for this boat was G48,500, yet only few months previously she was sold for G29.7OO.

SHIPS VALUED AT UNHEARD OF
 PRICES

| LONDON, May 3. - The great scar city of British tonnage Is reflected in the abnormally high prices paid for secondhand steamers. Today no firm of shipbuilders can guarantee delivery of any boat and, in consequence, ship owners desirous of increasing their fleets or replacing vessels sunk by war risk, and ordinary marine risks, are compelled to purchase second hand boats at record prices.
 Quite recently the Cunard Steam ship Company bought three second hand steamers, having failed to find | builders able to quote for new ton mage, and for these three boats, it is stated, the Cunard company paid a higher rate per ton than they would have paid for new vessels before the war Naturally. with such a ready market for tonnage, owners are weed ing out their fleets and in several instances recently boats which have proved too costly to work on pro fitable basis have been sold for prices far in excess of their original cost
 One firm possessing three such steamers sold the boats to French buyers, under license of the British government, for G117,000, and the chairman of the company congratu- lated the shareholders upon the sue cessful sale "The boats have never paid for themselves" he declared, "and we have no objection to receiv- ing ( t9 per ton for them" A good many English owners are not slow to take advantage of the needs of the French.
 In France, as in England, there is famine in tonnage. Under certain conditions, French owners are now
