OCEAN COMMERCE CUT
BY TRANSPORT NEEDS

The tremendous demand upon the

held out that the conditions may
then improve.

working out the problem Of deter
mining the amount of shipping which
may be put at the disposal Of eX-

the cargo space availa Bile is known,
however. and some yf the uncertain

shippers will not be encouraged to
undertake many new commitments.
