American Steamer Has a Solid
Cargo From Teuton Houses
of Shanghai

In the American steamer Yucatan,
hers yesterday from Shanghai via Mojii
from San Francisco, was a solid cargo
of POO tons shipped by German bust
ness houses of Shanghai to San Fran
cisco. German houses of the Orient
have few bottoms in which. to ship
their goods, japanese and British being
closed to them, so that American, Dutch
and Scandinavian vessels offer about
the only tonnage, and there are few of
them.
AS for goods from the States. there
are just as few opportunities, and Ger
man business men in the Orient are
handicapped by lack of American
goods, it is stated, in dispatches, espe'
cially American "otton cloth. The China
Mailer China is filled with Chinese
freight to and from Hongkong largely,
and gives little relief.
The Yucatan was perfectly neutral,
however, for she t"Ck freight to Brit.
ish houses on the outward voyage from
San Francisco two months ago.
Capt. A. c. Paulsen is master of the
Yucatan, which called here for about zoo
tons of oil and $50 of coal. He reported
a fair voyage, but with some bad wealth
er out of Japan. The vessel steamed
from Shanghai February 10 and from
MOjii, where she called for bunkers
three days later. ~..-
What the rates are from Shanghai
Captain Paulsen could not say, as the
Yucatan is under time charter, but the
shortage of Tonnage in the Orient was
evidenced by the many Opportunitie,

bsGHICAGO, Feb. 26-The shipbuild.
inn Industry Cn the Great Lakes, after
wing dormant more or less for half a
decade, is enjoying a revival of pros
peIity, according to reports from ship
Yards at and near Cleveland, Detroit,
Toledo, Duluth, Buffalo, Chicago and
smaller Great Lake ports.
The opening of the Panama Canal,
the. activities of submarines and tho
healthy increase in exports are con
sidered the immediate causes Of the
shiptuilding boom. The claim is made,
without denial from the builders, that
cid slips and vessels now under con-
strNction are bringing better prices
tam in many years.
i,phis boom will bring millions of
dollars of business to the dozen or
50 of shipbuilding companies, has
created new work for hundreds of men
aud already has caused the rebuilding
of old yards and the planning of sew
eral new ones.
foreign Interests Buy
The demand is strong for both lake
and ocean vessels and only the inabil-
ity. of the builders to give assurance
Ut delivery of the ships by 1917 stands
IN the way of even heavier orders.
Foreign interests are prominent among
lie buyers.
With the first clash of arms in
Eufofe, shippers saw the necessity for
obtaining boats quickly to carry mer,
ehandise to foreign and domestic ports.
OHe New York capitalist obtained at
Least four huge Great Lake package
ffeighters. At the Welland Canal
those ships had to be cut into sections
lefore they could continue the trip to
the edast.
The tremendous amount of shipping
that has gone to the bottom in the
var zone together, with the fact that
many of the shipyards in England
have been turned over almost exclu.
siEely to ships of war, has forced for
sign buyers to look to American ship.
builders for new vessels and some
foreign buyers are ready TO pick up
any ship for sale on the seaboard.
Negotiate For More
Cleveland alone reports the closing
of contracts for forty-six vessels at an
NEBAOHutV Cpob VI IHuH TOyOOb,OOO
and that negotiations are in progress
for thirty ships. These orders are be-
ing filed at Cleveland, Toledo, Lorain
and Ashtahula, o., Ecorse and Mani
towoc, Mich, and Buffalo, N. Y. The
yards at these cities are said to, have
all the business now that they can
handle during the year.
At Cleveland il is understood that
italian interests are negotiating for
twenty-eight ocean-going trading yes
sells Of 5000 tons each. In addition
TO all this building activity twenty
four freighters with total capacity
Of 1890 tons have changed hands

Since last October, when the present
boom first began TO be felt, so yes
