Colby Undecided
On Trade Treaties
Under Marine Act
From The 7rtoune's Washington Bureo.

From The Trtbune's Washington Bureaw
WASHINGTON, Sept. What &C.
ton is to be taken on amending or abb
rogatins commercial treaties with for
eign governments, as directed by the
merchant marine act, will not be de-
termined definitely until tomorrow,
Secretary of State Colby said to-day.
The law officers of the department
have investigated the treaties to ascer-
tain wherein they run counter to the
merchant marine act, with view to
finding some way by which treaties
may be continued in effect with modi-
fcations.
That the department does not de-
sire to take peremptory action was
made plain when one official declared
that doubt existed as to just what was
the intent of Congress in Section "a
of the Jones bill, directing that notice
be served on nations which have
treaties conflicting with the marine
act.
Many of the treaties provide that a
years notice be given before their
abrogration becomes effective. In
others 40 notice is required. The prob
lem, therefore, is whether preferential
treatment is to be accorded some ma
tions over others by reason of the time
notice clauses.
President, before signing the bill, had
not been fully advised Of the extent to
which the bill affected treaties. It
also was asserted that Congress had
been Informed as to what treaties
would be affected. 1t was denied that
the President had been urged to veto
the bill.

Notes of Foreign Shipping

Development of shipping services
from Germany is progressing rapidly.
A regular service of steamers between
Hamburg and North African ports is
being organized by the Transporto
Maritimos do Estado of Lisbon.
Rumania is branching out in the
terprises is the Lloyd Maritime
Runaine, which has been founded at
bucharest. A shipbuilding company
has also been established under the
title of Les Chantiers de Braila.
In her efforts to replace her war
losses of shipping Greece is reported
to have purchased number of vessels
from the United States and Great
Britain. Ships have also been ordered
IN Japan, and Greece expects within
comparatively short time to have
merchant marine as large as hers was
ut the beginning of the war.
The creation Of ministry of shin
ping is still under discussion in Ger
many. Shipping interests representing
all the branches of coastwise and in
land shipping, however, have requested
the Minister Of Transport from official
representation in his ministry, with a
view to combining the interests Of in
land shipping and transport by rail. in
order to abolish the competition be-
tween the two which existed before the
war.
Italian shipyards are reported to
nave under construction at present
vessels totaling 100000 tons.
According to Swedish advices. tho
shlpyards of Sweden have sufficient
orders in hand to keep them fullv oc-
cupied for several years to come. At
the beginning of July the work under
way aggregated $4,000 tons and orders
were booked for an additional 146, 900

Lumber Exports Decline
July Shipments From New York
Well Below June Values

Figures furnished by the Collector Of
Customs and compiled by Lumber show
that exports of lumber and lumber
products from the port Of New York
continue to decline in volume. Exports
of raw lumber and manufactured wood
products from this city during July
totaled $1,614,590, as compared with ST.
101 ,283 in June.
Hardwood lumber shipped overseas
during July amounted to 1,741 900 feet,
valued at 1921 ,0OS, as against 1,156, 900
feet valued at $ls2,74S the previous
month. Soft wood lumber, mostly pitch
pine and spruce, which was exported
in July, amounted to 1891 900 feet,
valued at s104,220, as compared with
1l'253,0o0 feet, valued at $103,387, in
June.
The exports of other wood manufac-
tured products, such as furniture, tool
handles, boat oars, sash and doors and
cooperage, amounted to about 100000
less than those Of June. During July
a, tons Of wood pulp was exported to
France and Spain, the total shipments
being valued at S16396

the Prince Line and the Houlder Line,
the subsidiaries include the Furness
Shipping Agency, the Economic Marine
Insurance Company, the South Durham
Steel Company, the Easington Coal
Company and the Tilbnry Coaling Com
pany. Il.
Marine insurance interests also are
buying business homes. The old Del
monico Building on the point Of the
wedge between Beaver and South Will
liam streets has become Merchant
Marine House. The property was
bought in 1917 by the American Mer-
chant Marine Insurance Company.
Its eight stories are tenanted wholly
by marine insurance underwriters and
brokers. Wilcox, Peck & Hughes, in
surance brokers, early in the year
bought the Seligman Building, and S
South William Street, at price re-
ported to be $1,600,000. 1t also is &C.
cupied solely by insurance interests.
Many buildings devoted to shipping
before the war, although not all owned
by shipping concerns, still remain. They
include the Hamburg American Build
ing at 45 Broadway, which has passed
from German ownership to the American
government. Other pre-war shipping
buildings are the Marine Exchange,
and the Grace Building. The latter
structure, at Hanover Square, is con-
sidered one of the best examples of
Italian Renaissance architecture in
New York. 1t has been enlarged since
the war by an addition on Water Street.
The building of the Marine Exchange
at 78 and 80 Broad Street, was bought
by, the exchange in 1902. The upper
floors are rented to members covering
all business relating to shipping.
Interests in every branch of the ship
ping industry believe that the expan-
sion of American foreign trade since

innate that $50,000,0o0 is being ex-
pended for the erection Of new or the

to be used exclusively or primarily to
take care Of the enormous growth Of
the shipping industry since the war.
Almost the whole lower tip of Manhat-
tan, under building now projected or
nearing completion. will be converted
into structures owned by the shipping
industry and it's allied interests.
One significant fact illustrates the
rapid strides made by shipping since

the war. In 1914 there were only three
buildings occupied and owned by ship
ping concerns. To-day at least twenty
five such buildings are already built
or are under way. -
Shipping men assert thas II the pres
emit development continues it will not
be long before the lower end Of Man
haitian will be given over, largely to
the commerce Of the sea. that Battery
Park, with its unrestricted view Of
the bay, will be bordered on both Of its
land sides with buildings occupied ex-
ciusively by shipping concerns and
shat State Street, from South Ferry
to the Custom House, will be fringed
with such buildings. Already the ship
ping industry is creeping up Broadway.
Harrtmans Buy Broadway Building
The most recent convert to the Gown

shipping corporations is the W. A.
Hartman interests, which bought the
five-story building at SO Broadway from
Castor, Williams & Wigmore for 81
