For months .. past conservative shipping investors have been unloading their stock. This is the considered verdict: of London. shipping* experts.. Sir Will- jam Raeburn, M.

MacLeod & Company, représenting 4 ..tons of shipping, give addltlona] rea- sons why ocean rates are going down reacting upon the value of shipping ‘stocks everywhere. Briefly, they are: The.world’s supply of shipping is increasing very rapidly. America will build 2,000,000 tons this year. Great Britain about the same amount , "and other European yards about 800,- 000 tons; Japan 700,000; Canada 400,000 tons. 'Australia is also ~ - ‘building. - Dock congestion;, which keeps hun. { dreds of ships idle for days and keeps |- others tied ‘up as make-shift ware- houses, is being gradual.y relieved “and will dissapear in England with- in the year. As remedied, more ships’ will be available for.traffic. If ships| ‘get back to pre-war rate of loading ‘‘and ‘discharging their cargoes, ship™ ‘ping -rates will fall 50 per cent. Another factor tending to depress very heavily shipping rates is chaos in Europe.and the.difficulties of ex- change, which hampers iftternation; |- ‘al trade, Donald MacLeod & Com. /pany offer .to lift any cargo in the Or- ‘jent, but cannot get any lo lift.
