PULLAR RECORD LEVELS FOR ing Year 1915 (Correspondence of *he Assoctated Press.) Jan. 18—The year 1915 bhe remembered in shipping cir- a year during which sales of steamers reached record levels. The strong tone which prevailed in shipping sales markets during the lat- ter part of the preceding year gained stil] further strength in 1915. In January, six of the German steamers captured by British and con- demned by prize court, were offered for sale on the Baltic Mercantile and Shipping Exchange and no less than London, will cles surpassed even the most san- guine expectations of the auctionee { These sales only served to test the strength of the market and except for a brief period, during which the budzet was under discussion in the house of commons, and fears were cntertained as to excessive taxatios upon shipping, there, was no indica- tion of any weakening. Highly Pr The withdrawal of the Austrian and German steamers from-trade lo: es sustained by the British mercan- tile marine from submarine attacks and the requisitioning of something like twenty-five per cent. of the Br ish mercantile tonnage by the gov- ernment, has had the effect of plac- ing a high value upon all boats and owners of craft which they have re- garded as useless have found them- selves possessed of highly prized as- sets. More than one ship company which was on the verge of bankruptcy has been placed in a flourishing con- dition. One company, which, for sev- eral years, had been unable to pay a dividend, last year’disbursed 20 per cent. to the shareholders Another company, possessing half a dozen steamers which had been laid up fo two years, found ready purchase ed AssCts, Notice.

Vessels of the tramp and coasting classes have been more particularly affected by the rapid rise in values. Very few liners have changed hands and while there has been a marked appreciation of the values, the in- crease has not been so great as in the cases of steamers built only for car- go. In some cases as much as 100 and 125 per cent. upon the actual build- ing cost of the vessel has been paid “or tramp steamers. Lack of Tonnage. British shipping men are now ser- fously considering the situation which has been created by the present lack of tonnage. The seripusness of the position of British owners is accen- tuated in cases where an enormously enhanced price has been paid for a boat, which almost upon purchasc re tioned by the British Quite recently a boat built fifteen vears ago at a cost of 40,000 pounds was sold for 60,000 pounds. It was estimated that at the existing hig™ freight rates, a substantial prc$ would be realized which warranted the heavy capital expenditure which would more than counter balance the depreciation in values which js bourd to come.

Shipowners are as- sured that vesse will be released a5 soon as possible, but, at the mo- ment there seems very little prospect of any substantial number of vessels released. On the other hand. day by day more steamers are being required by the admiralt British owners in cons not view the future with an: equence, do degree to take every effort to capture German trade, but owing to the impossibili of obtaining delivery of ships which have been building since the outbreak of the war; inability of shipbuilders to contract for new vessels, and the decided shortage of tonnage which Mr. Runciman, the president of the British Board of Trade, admitted by saying, ‘‘there are not enough ships to go round,” they contend that neu- tral shipowners are in a hetter pos tion than are the British to capture trade of Germany and Austria NCufrals Have Opportunity. ‘While this shortage exists, working costs have enormou: in- creased, neutral shipowners are able to step in and obtain the trade which the British owner had planned to capture Notwithstanding such setbacks, however, there is no evidence of any weakening in values and sales of vessels which have bheen transacted during the last few weeks of 1915 prove the market to he as strong as ever which indicates that prices may soar still higher in 1916, 300 Ships Changed Hands During the year over 300 Briti steamers have changed hands and prices have ranged as widely as from three pounds per gross ton up to as much as 42 pounds. As an instance of the rapidity with which values increased the case of the steamer Saint Fillans may be cit- ed. This boat which was built in 1900 was purchased for 25,000 pounds in December, and early in the fol- lowing February it was announced that she had been resold for 41,000 pounds. She is a steamer of 3,620 tons gross. Another and sensational sale was of the steamer Dorothea, a ship of 2,035 ‘gross tons, built in 1903. 1In July 1914, the boat ran ashore and tears were entertained that she would become a total wreck. She was pur- chased as a wreck for the modest sum of 620 pounds. Tt was found pos- sible to float the craft and after re. pairs had been ecxecuted the ship changed hands last February for no less a sum than 26,000 pound Perhaps the record of sales is seen in the case of the steamship Winni- field, a boat of 3,433 gross tonnage, built in 1901. This ship was first sold in 1907 for 22,300 pounds, resold in May, 1915 for 38.000 pounds, in June for 41,000 pounds and in December 1915 for 41,000 pounds and in Dec. representing a substantial profit upon her cost. that SPRING BU of Annual SINESS FAIR, Opening Set Event at Leipzig for Monday. March 6, Leipzig the “Me biggest institutions of its kind in Iu- rope, has been set for Monday, March 6, this year. A year ago the number of exhibitors fell from 4,000 to 2,500 of the war. This year's prospect is that the number will be more nearly normal than in 1915. Already there are assured a large number of exhibitors of glass and metal ware, wood, paper, leather, rub- ber, basketware and toys. The peace- time exhibitors from Russia, France and England, as well as the buyers from those countries, will again be missing. of course, but it is anticipated that they will in part at least be re- placed by German The authorities are arranging to facilitate as far as possible the free movements of all who wish to go to the fair, so that exhibitors, buyers and others shall have a minimum of dif- ficulty about passes, which now are necessary for everyone who travels in Germany.

Berlin, Feb. 8.—According to the records of the sick insurance ofiice of Berlin it appears that the withdrawals of workmen from employment in shops and factories for war duty last vear were far less numerous than had been sgenerally believed. specially was the reduction slight in the young- est and the oldest classes of men sub- ject to military duty. Thus workmen between seventeen and twenty year old represented on January 1, 191 2 per cent. of all the names on the but by October 1 they had been reduced only to 14.6 per cent. The reduction for the class between 41 and 45 years was from 8.8 to per cent. Even for all the classe ject to mil- itary duty the average reduction for the nine months was only about three | per cent. Tt is a remarkable fact that even now the class of young men he- tween 21 and 25 is larger than other one in the shops and factorics of Berlin, constituting 15.5 per cent, of all the names listed.

It would be the case of a man biting off his nose to spite his face. Italy, for instance, now welcomes and will continue to { welcome trade with thé United States. Capital from the United States would find good employment, but Italy needs { her raw cotton, her coal, and in par- ticular her electrical machinery, her agricultural machinery, her utensils for starting factories going. Should the United States put up a tariff wall, then Italy will do the same and shut out these products. Result—both parties losers. “1 know there is an immense in Italy for the United States.

I knew one man, an American in Florence, who sold out all of his American stocks and bonds and doubled his fortune by re- investing in these restes. Italy’s peo- ple are hard-working, sober and hon- est. The traditions about their pov- erty, their unreliable methods, have been handed down for a hundred vears from the time when Italy was divided up into little kingdoms and principalities, warring and jealous of each other and does not in the least apply to present conditions.
