SEVERAL SHIP SALES
MADE OR IMMINENT
American Refining Company
Buys Carrier From, Cuba.

The steamship Delco, 800 deadweight
tons. has been sold by Moore g. McCor-
mack, New York. to the American
Sugar Refining Company and will
carry sugar between Cuba and New
Orleans. The vessel was built in 1919
by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Cor
poraton at Wilmington. Pa.
Negotiations are reported as virtually
complete for the sale of the Hattie
Iuckenbach. $500 deadweight tons. and
Pleiades. $500. by the Luckenbach
Steamship Company to Garcia & Diaz,
operating New York to Spain service.
The sales and others rumored but
not confirmed were regarded as en-
sphasizing the tendency toward larger
freight ships for long voyages. Both
Luckenbach and Moore & Mccormack
are concentrating on the intercoastal
trade of the United States through the
Panama Canal. in which the approved
type of ship is from 10000 to $4,000
deadweight tons.
Where the voyage Is long enough to
make the time spent at ports of call
comparatively insignificant the big ship
is acknowledged the most economical
In operation. For short trips. where
many ports are entered and where quick
turn around Is essential medium and
even small sized freighters still are
favored.

BRITISH COAL HERE
CONGESTING HARBOR
Foreign Product Underselling
Domestic Fuel, but De-
mand Is Poor.

Continued arrival of British coal here
in the face Of weakening market has
resulted in considerable congestion about
the harbor. The foeeign product is un-
derselling the domestic in the local
market. but still is not finding ready
sale. and cargoes brought over for specu-
lative purposes in some instances are re-
naming aboard ship and in others being
stored.
The use of barges for the storage of
British coal has created q shortage of
this type of craft even lighters being
affected. The lighterage rate has in
creased to 35 cents ton from 27 cents
within the last two weeks, whereas de-
murrage, the penalty exacted for delays
In loading or unloading, has gone up
from 50 to $12 day on thousand-ton
barge.
A dearth of bulk freight for Europe
has added to the congestion, as most o.
the vessels bringing coal have not been
able to obtain grain or other cargoes for
the return voyage and are idle in port.
With the arrival Friday of the steam
ship Golden Gate. British coal imports
since July l through New York reached
$4,000 tons. Entries at other ports
should bring the total to about 100000
tons. An occasional new charter is eff
fected. representing usually the desire
of some public utility corporation to
insure itself against possible inter-
ruption in arrivals of the domestic
product at seaboard. Five vessels ag
gregating 5000 deadweight tons were
fixed last week at shillings a ton. Oc-
tober loading In Wales.
The current ocean rate for coal Is
hardly attractive, except for line ves-
sells that otherwise would have to make
the transatlantic crossing in ballast.
The peak rate, reached In August, was
II shillings ton, and this brought con-
siderable tonnage that ordinarily would
not have been in service between the
United States and Europe.
