Her case is typical of the extreme

The William Penn was allocated to
The United American Lines and the

to the Dutch East Indies. The dull

impossible to secure anything like
sufficient cargo for vessel of her

9orts OF Shipping and News Of Foreign Trade

United American Lines. To date
however, no bulk cargo has been Sc
cured for her and she is anchored in
the Bay, awaiting service.
Shipping men are especially in
terested in the William Penn because
her successful operation may cause
the Shipping Board to convert num-
Der of its vessels with defective ma
chinery from steamers to motorships
Expert engineers representing the
Shipping Board will accompany the
vessel on her first trip and check up
on her operation.
There Is considerable disappoint-
ment in shipping circles over the fact
that the William Penn is not to be
operated to the Dutch East Indies, as
the Shipping Boards turbine electric
drive freighter Eclipse has been run
over that route with experts of the
board on her to test the workings of
this form of propulsion, and to have
operated the William Penn in the
same trade would have furnished COM
parative data of the operations of the
two forms of propulsion over the same
route.
Freight Market Is Dead
Activity in the freight market dur
ing the last week has been at about
the lowest ebb of the year One of the
largest chartering firms in New York
reports only half dozen fixtures for
the last week.
Tonnage offers freely for all d.
rections," say A. H. Bull & Co. "The
smaller vessels which were withdrawn
from their retirement by the recent
furry are again being slowly with
drawn from transatlantic trading.
This is probably due to the fact that
the gross on a transatlantic voyage
on a vessel of this size is relatively
very small. Rates have been variable
and soft, principally owing to the
fact that there were very few cargoes
Offering"
The number of charters reported for
export Goals during last week was
considerably smaller than in any re-
cent week.
