have any important effect upon the
shipping situation at the port of New
York. On the basis of the prime min

mated the total reduction of imports at
100000 tons year. Taking 5000 as
a fair average cargo, they point out
that the new regulation would cut the
number of voyages to the United King

Demand for Ships Strong.
The demand for ships to carry freight
to the entente nations continues strong
here, and chartering houses say that
available vessels are extremely linn

Manufacturers and exporters were re-
1uctant to prophesy the effect the Brit
