Among the l. W. w. who have been
released on bonds are some Of the m st

conspicuous example Is that OF Mr..

Ocean Service Spreads,

IF new construction is stopped and
the sale of vessels now owned by the
shipping board is made to private en-
terprise, it means that under private
ownership and operation the larger
ports and the best paying trade routes
win, as a matter Of course, be given
preference, and that the establishment
Of new and remunerative trade routes
win be a matter Of long deferred and
long-drawn-out development, and in
some instances only as the result or
an overproduction of shipping and con-
sequent remote necessity for finding ad-
ditional markets in order to employ
such excess shipping.
at is my further belief that under

which two or three years ago cost 3c per foot, are now $50

Innings, made largely of cotton, have shown the effect of a change
in the raw market of from Toe to 12c per pound to soc to 35c,
and labor has had its fling, perhaps in as extreme measure as in
any other industry.
Shoes at retail never have fully reflected the full advances
that have occurred in the raw market, and a bale of cotton will
buy more Shoes today than it would three or four years ago.

stated that the total gross tonnage I'M

ating on the Great Lakes, in June, 1914,

and over was 1886 vessels of 1887, 900
gross or II, $40, 500 lightweight tons, and
the United Kingdom had about one-half
that total. On June 80, 1919, American
steam tonnage of 100 gross tons and
over, including tonnage OIL the Great
Lakes, was 1857 vessels of 1888, 900
