The Jury Declare That There Were No Counterfeiters or State Prison Birds in Their Body. (LYMAN TREMAIN ON BRIBERY. Another Jury Asked For to Try the Boss of the Ring. Sheriff Brennan, County Clerk Loew and Gommissioner of Jurors Taylor Make Their Statements. "THE JURY DINNER ON THURSDAY EVENING. Conflicting Statements of the Different Jurors in Regard to Their Verdict, ‘The city of New York was yesterday thrown into B great state of excitement in regard to the very ‘ansatisiactory verdict rendered by the jury who Bat in judgment on Tweed in the criminal case be- fore Judge Noah Davis. ‘There were a hundred opinions made manifest in regard to how the verdict had been procured. It was stated warmly that bri- “bery had been éffected, that Tweed was not guilty, that another jury would certaiuly convict him on his next trial, and that the prosecution had not worked with sufficient zeal, The jury themselves, who are to have a dinner given them on next Thursday evening, by one of their own number, a Mr. Samuel C. Hine, do not seem very directly to know their own minds, or to know what way they stood before or after the verdict on Tweed. The course of Judge Davis is very generally approved of, ‘and there is considerable discussion as to the availability of the present jury law and the slight possibility of convicting any one who has robbed the taxpayers. .Another trial is asked for and a mew jury wust be empanelled, and the present system of drawing jurors, in the opinion of the public, must be changed. THE COMMISSIONER OF JURORS, ‘The reporter of the HERALD called on the Com- missioner of Jurors, Mr. Douglas Taylor, at room No. 21 old City Hall, to question him in regard to the rumors that were made public about the jury On the Tweed trial. Mr. Taylor sat ata high desk when the reporter entered, and ‘he received him very courteously. In relation to the rumors spread throughout the city that he had been unfaithful to his trust, Mr. Taylor made a very indignant response. He stated that he had nothing to do with tie jurors after they got into Court. His duty was to simply judge of the qualifications and liability of the jurors and to hear their excuses. He could not be responsi- when a panel was drawn in the Summer (or the jurors who were to try amanin the Winter. It ‘was utterly impossible that the Commissioner of Jurors should know who was to be tried months ahead, and he repelled any insinuation with con- tempt that would make him responsible for the - doings of other blundering oMcials. Mr, Taylor stated that he took his jurors from a list of 30,000 persons taken from the directory. He had heard the declarations of over fifty thousand persons who came to him in regard to jury duty. The Commis- sioner of Jurors, through his clerks, only made out the ballots, which were taken to the office of the - County Clerk. All who came before him, generally speaking, came to prove exemption. He knew mothing about a State Prison convict being on the jury. It was a ridiculous thing to expect them to visit every man summoned as a juror, and to have him prove at his residence what his moral Status was, When the liable citizen comes to the Commissioner of Jurors and proves exemption there his duty ends. The County Clerk draws the Geer in the presence of a Judge and he Sherif, and there is neither right nor rivilege for me to know anything about he drawing of the jurors. The Sheriff gave his summons. The prosecution in the Tweed trial had acted with great indiscretion. Many ‘wealthy ana respectable citizens who have been - Bummoned as jurors have been excused by favor of @ judge when in court. If those who were sum- moned as jurors were not men of capacity and in- tetligence it.was impossible that the Commissioner of Jurors should know the facts. . At the conclusion of tle interview, General Martin McMahon being present, Mr. Taylor good- maturedly allowed the HeRaLp reporter to look over his. THE SHERIFF SPEAKS, Sheriff Matthew T. Breunan was at his ofMfce in the New Court House when called upon. He Stated that he knew nothing about any juror on the Tweed trial who had been a convict in State Prison, or of any other juror who had been a dock loafer. He explained how summonses were deliv- ered, Some were marked on the books ‘Personal Service” and others ‘Not feund.” Mr. Brennan knew nothing in regard to the rumors in circulation that the jury in the Tweed trial had been bribed, or that they had received apy money. THE COUNTY CLERK. The County Clerk, Mr. Charles Loew, was next Spoken to, His office is in the County Court House, . Loew ts @ civil, good natured kind of man, Who does not get excited. He has the savatr faire. He introduced the Deputy County Clerk, a Mr. Gumbleton, a very nice young man, who exhibited to the reporter a mahogany wheel im which the jury ballots are placed. Mr. Guinbleton is the custodian ‘of the key of the jury box. It was Mr. Gumbleton Who acted as deputy for Mr. Loew when the ballots ‘were handed to the Sheriff at the trial of Tweed in the Court of Oyer aad Terminer. Mr. Loew stated “that the ballots were displayea before Judge Noah Davis in open court. Neither Mr. Leew nor Mr, Gumbieton could explain any of the rumors, that were circulated in regard to the bribing of the jurors on the Tweed case, but their explanation of ahe system of drawing oi jurors seemed very satis- factory. A SIE DEALING JUROR. Avery pleasant juror to talk to was Mr. Solomon Marx, @ shoe dealer at No. 182 Broadway. Mr. Marx was full of smiles. He was jnterviewed briefly as follows :— ReEPorTER—I have called to know how the jury stood in the case of “Boss” Tweed? Mr. MaRx—I rub you must know how I e@tand already m this matter from what you have heard and read in the papers. How I and ali the rest ofthe jury stood in the matter! will tell. [ have given my word not to divulge anything that occurred in the jury room. I do not think that any man on the jury was bribed; 1 believe that they were. honest and acted up to their oaths. 1 do not know of any loafer or of any man whose family was Au a destitute condiuon who was on our jury. i did not have @& new suit of clothes when 1 appeared = in the jury box. 1 have not heard as yet of @ dinner to ‘be given to or by the jury, but if there is a dinner ‘ol the Tweed jury I will go to it I suppose. Ihave heard nothing of the fact that a man was on the jury who had been convicted of counterfeiting, or That he Lad veen a State Prison convict, THE TOY-DEALING JUROR. Patrick Keary, a toy dealer at 18 Division street, and who was a juror on the Tweed trial, was spoken to by a HexaLp reporter. Mr. Keary, who has a very rich brogue, staved that there fvas no man ou the jury who had been convicted of counterieiting, and that the reporters had got the ¢art before the horse in that matter, But he had Deen toid that Mr. Thomas W. Roche, the grocer in Eighth avenue, had been the means of cousicting & man on the charge of couutericiting revenue stamps. He believed that Mr. Roche had been com- nected With the Secret Service force. He did not Koow that any juror had been bribed ¢ "Tweed of ithe charge of robbery. y ae heard that there was to be a dinner ven next Thursday evening to the jurors Ty a juror, Mr. Samuel ©. Hine, a liquor dewer at 1,069 Sixth avenue. He intended to attend the dinner, and if he could be relieved from his pledge he would be hog to see any reporter who came t the dinuer, ause I suppose there will be reporters present. Mr. Keary added, “Us having w# dinner doesn’t suppose that it ‘ili pave @ pol-iu- cai effect.” A call was made on Mr. Dennison R. Parker, an e@ysterman, who lives in @ tenement house at No. 170 Fraukiin street, on the top floor, When the yeporter culled on the top Moor there were some Jugmnvers Of Whe Jauily at home. They were quar- relling at ty6 time, and a woman’s voice was heard “itl was in the hy that Gea we Coane Twould have horsewhipped My, Parker was not at home to the zeported. saree next visit was made to the juror Mr. Henry ‘arren, @ business at the corner of lence, Henry M, Williams, a gentleman who had been @ juror on the Twe: has his resklence ven at the Hotel Brunswick. At the dinner our Mr. Williams had not made his appearance, Business had probably detained him. 4 LIQUOR-DEALING JUROR. The fourth juror is Mr. John 8. Rockwell, who Keeps a liquor store he corner of Twenty-ninth treet and Lexington avenue. This gentleman was called upon yesterday morning by the HERALD re- porter. He is a highly respectable looking gentle- man, but, like the balance oi the jurors, he was very reticent about imparting intormation, claim- ing as his reason the ngreSmint that was come to in the jury room, He, however, denied all charges of outside influence which it was alleged in one of the mornin, papers had peen brought to bear upon the jury, The following is the conversation :— REPORTER—What have you to say about the charges brought against the jury in one of the jou: nals of the city? Mr, ROCKWELL—I have got nothing to do with ‘what the journal may be pleased to state; but as far as 1 know there was no influence of the kind Pad work, ‘the jury, in my opinion, did their uty conscientiously, and were regulated in their opinions by the evidence, REPORTER—It is stated that the jurors were in the habit of meeting with politicians when they went to dine at Detmonico’s, who were friends of Tweed and that they argued the case to them, Mr. ROCKWELL—It is false. I have lived here for fifteen years, and every one knows my charac- ter. I do not know any Frnmeny politicians and never took any part in politics in m life. When we went to Delmonico’s we al- hylan had a private room te ourselves, and in the time allotted to us—thirty minutes—we had enough to do to eat, without talking any. In no other pee speaking for myself, had we any con- versation with triends of Tweed, and when we left the Court at night we came straight home. ReEroRTER—Can you tell me anything about how the jury stood ? Mr. ROCKWELI—I cannot. The pledge I made re- strains me or I would, but I cannot under the cir- cumstances say anything. aoe reporter thanked Mr. Rockwell and with- irew. A BUTTER-DEALING JUROR. Mr. Thomas W. Roche, the ness at 234 Eighth avenue. The reporter encoun- tered him on Twenty-second street yesterday and accosted him. He was unwilling to say anything at first, but learning that the reporter was from the HERALD he said he would be glad to give any information he could consistent with his honor. REPORTER—What have you to ved in relation *o the charges which have been brought about tam- pering with the jury? Mr. RocHe—Well, I will speak for myself, and say 1 know nothing about them. We were not in the habit of talking about the case outside the court and did not read the papers at all during the trial. If they can make anything out of tne charge which says that Jimmy Lynch had talked to some of us, I may say that Lynch was a customer of mine, as I was in the habit of supplying him with butter, and the case has been mentioned by him in my presence, but he always said, “It is a ticklish case, and of course 1 can’t expect you to talk about it, ag you are upon the jury.”’ The jury went by the evidence and had nothing to do with outside considerations. 1 would like to tell you how We stood, but my promise restrains me. 1 think it was a wise thing that we made the promise, as Tweed is still a man of great influence, an could anuoy those who went against him, and on the other hand the prosecution might follow up those who were for acquittal. As Mr. Roche was in a great hurry the reporter was forced to say goodby without auy turther conversation. A PIANO-MAKING JUROR, Mr. Henry Hazelton, a piano manufacturer, ‘whese office is in University place, was the filth juror. Mr. Hazelton is a gentieman, and he readily explained to the reporter his position in reference to the charges of undue infuence. He said:—“1 omly, in the whole course oi the trial, went to Delmonico’s but twice to lunch; lalways went alone and did not hoid any conversation with any one. [saw no politicians, was not influenced by any ulterior conversation, and Ido not think any of the jurors were. £ cannot tell you how we stood on account of the arrangement we came to; but there was no possiblility of us agreeing, no matter how long we were locked up. The arrange- ment to keep silence was come to by mutuai con- sent, and as far as I know it has been adhered to by all.” A LIVE JUROR FOR ACQUITTAL. The ninth jurer, Mr. Richard Dawson, resides at 452 Greenwich street, where he carries on his busi- ness. From this gentieman the reporter procured reiiable information as to how the jury stood. The following is the interview the HERALD reporter had with him:— Rerorter—I want to know about the state- ments that have been made about outside in- fluence. Mr. Dawson—They are false; side influence. For my part, | there was no out- was never in Del- monico’s at all. REPORTER—May I ask you hew the jury stood? Mr. Dawson—Well, I see that your paper has got very nearly a correct statement this morning, and as some of the jurors must have been giving things away, | may as well tell you. We stood eight for acquittal, three jor conviction and one blank. When we left the room first there were seven for acquittal and five for conviction. There was considerable argument, and the result was changed to what! tell you, I may say that | was one of them that was for acquittal, a8 1 would convict no man on an infermer’s testimony. in the nineteen days of the trial 1 did not hear any evidence pro- duced that I would convict upon except that of Garvey, and his 1 did not think deserving ot con- sideration, The Judge’s charge did not make much impression, as we thought it biased and onesided.

Since the twelve supposed good men and true impanelled as the jury in the trial of William M. Tweed concluded te arrive at no satisiactory so- lution of the rather dificult problem of the guilt or innocence of the accused, the cry of bribery has been heard throughout the metropolitan dis- trict, and, in fact, in vicinities quite remote from the scene of the trial as well. Masy persons averred openly that at least nine out of the twelve jurymen were purcuased before the Proceedings were inaugurated at all, while since the disagreement quite as many, if not more, as positively declare that there is no question what- ever of the jury’s having been bribed by some party or parties acting in the interest of the de- fence. ‘fo ascertain the views of the senior counsel for the people, Mr. Lyman Tremain, on the subject, a representative of. the HERALD was Gespatoned in quest of that gentleman at alate hour yesterday afternoon, and succeeded in finding kim just ashe was about leaving the Court of Oyer and Terminer, alter having finished the day’s labor on the Stokes bill of exceptions. As he was in the act of hoisting on his huge great coat the reporter bie him gently on the shoul- der and propounded the foliowing query ReEPORTER—Mr. Tremain, | have been commis- sioned by the H&RALD to receive any statement you may feel disposed to make in regard to the alleged bribing of some members of the jury re- cently sitting on the Tweed case, Will you inform me, sir, of an individual instance of such bribery, if such 1s known to you? Mr. TkeMAIN—“Are you from the HERALD?” Receiving an answer m the affirmative, he pro- ceeded to say that the subject was @ rather serious one to converse upom, even were it within his knowledge of any instances of undue infuence having been brought to bear on any member of ‘the jury. KePoRTER—But, sir, itis @ subject of great im- portance to the public, and as allegation upon alle- gation has been made by irresponsible persons since the disagreement, reflecting on some members of the jury, waose names bave not been mentioned, 1 would feel very much obliged if you will jurnish me with any information on the subject. Mr. TREMAIN—I Will only be too happy to do al) in my power for the HERALD, but at the present time can only state that [have no cognizance of any instance 01 actua) bribery; but this I can say, we have in our possession an aMdavit which avers that one of the members who served said, sub- stantially, in @ conversation previously, that he considered it @ lucky thing for s man to be sworn on that particular jury, and he thought that it would be worth money. Further, that he wished that he bad had @ chance. REPORTER—And that person was sworn and served? Mr. TREMAIN—Yes) sir, Ae there was nothing further to be gleaned upon the subject, and as Mr. Tremain was in a hurry to et home alter his labors of the day, the reporter fia nim good day and left, A NEW JURY ASKED FOR. The double event set down for argument by counsel and the decision of two judges, sitting in separate jurisdiction, attracted a large crowd to the court room of Oyer and Terminer yesterday morning. In the first place, the decision of Judge Davis or the motion of Mr. Peckham, principal prosecuting officer in the Tweed trial, brought to a close on the preceding day, but unsortunately left Undecided through the disagreement of the jury, Was anxiously looked for, and the Boss’s friends Were ina large majority in the Coart, Then to follow after the disposition of the Tweed case, was the argument of counsel on the bill of exceptions in- Greenwich street— vended to interpose a legal barrier agaiust thg exX- ecution of the sentence upon Edwara 8. Stokes, upon whieh Judge Bourdmen was to determine. ‘Two such matters of great public interest were all- Sufficient to draw together a more than usual crowd ‘of those who had some time to spare and who were either personally or from old associations and sym- pathy feeling with either side of the case—that of the peeple or the defendants. It might be perhaps but fair to say, looking back at the class of people who have from the first so deco- rously and persistently sat and listened to all that was urged against the Boss on the great omni- bus indictment, and all that was so ably cone tended tor in his defence, that the Judge's deci- sion on bis case was a matter of greater interest to all present than the more vital question whether the condenmed man in the cells was to get @ new trial or not. It was strange enough that one set of lawyers—some of whom were on one side in one case and again having a chent on the other, were at one stage of the proceedings of the day resisting a re- trial and on the other moving all the intricate machinery of the law to obtain a new trial. But so it was. The array of counsel was a icatute of the day; they were, in fact, in such nnmbers, and yet So neccessary to the ‘amme, that in mention- ing the chief actors all that can be made of these accessories is to dismiss them with the wind-up, “too numerous to mention.” ‘yf THE BOSS) CASE. On this was centred the interest of the day—the cynosure of all eyes. Mr. Tweed looked just in the mood that soles be considered his on such an occa- sion aiter reading the HERALD reporter's interview with him on the previous day, He looked at the ‘occupant of the Bench as if he quietly chuckled, “Let the galled jade wince; our withers are un- wrung.’’ It was nearly eleven o'clock when Judge Davis took the seat on the bench occupied for some- time previously by Judge Boardman, who was sit- ting on the question of the bill of exceptions in the Stokes case. THE RE-TRIAL DENIED. Judge Davis, after asalutation with Judge Board- man, upon which the latter gentleman dropped his conversation or consultation with counsel, addressing coungel in the Tweed case on the mo- tion made the previous day to summon a new panel for the trial of the indictment for misde- meanor inst William M. Tweed, said he had come to the conclusion there was some serious doubt abuut continuing the term, and as the regu- lar term commences on Monday that it was not pioner to grant the motion. But, of course, Mr. Phelps understood that he would be at liberty to move on Monday, Mr. Field remarked that, of course, the defence should get the usual notice. Judge Davis said he knew nothing about that. District Attorney Phelps intimated that he would give notice when he was prepared to move. ‘The greater part of the andience then left the court room. The Boss and his sons—General Tweed and young Dick—seemed in no hurry to de- part, and remained chatting with counsel and thetr Iriends a considerable time after Judge Davis had left the bench, and the case, for some time at ieast, was virtually at an end. RAPID TRANSIT. pn The Contracts for the Work on the Undergrotind Route Between the City Hall and the Grand Central Depot Not Yet Assigned—The Commencement of the Work Indefinite as to Time—The Gilbert Project. ¢ More desired, if it were possible, than silver or gold, by the citizens of New York, is the consum- mation of one or some of the many schemes which have from time to time vainly promised them the means of rapid transit. Most prominently kept be- fore the public, because ostensibly backed by the ‘most enterprise and the most capital, has been that project of Commodore Vanderbilt’s which pro- poses to undermine the houses and streets of the city alike, andin the mysterious passages to be be forméd underneath to cause to be run locomotives and trains of cars, as in some wonderlul though narrow subterranean world, The stupendity of the design and of the expenditures of money which would be necessary in order even partially to realize its brilliant bene- fits invested it, no doubt, with a grandeur which philosopners do say has very much to do often with impressions made upon the credulity of otherwise worldly-wise critics. It is the relapse alter a wide pubhe sentiment of appreciation of the daring and extensive nature of the enterprise which has undoubtedly been the cause of THOSE RUMORS so recently started, silenced and revived regarding the probabilities of it being either abandoned or ultimately carried out, Again and again the first intimation has been made, and even after Mr. Van- derbilt himself, in conversation with a representa- tive of the HERALD, said so distinctly what his real determination was, it found currency. A reporter of the HERALD yesterday called at the offices of the piaantic corporations of which Mr. Vanderbilt isthe grand impersonation of ex- ecutive power and tried to see him, but found, ta his chagrin, that the temptations of the weather had been too mucii for the Commodore, and that he had gone out “ou the road” with his feet- limbed nags. Mr. Buckhout, his energetic and courteous chief engineer, was in his room, how- ever, and received the reporter with his usual kindly politeness, Mr. Brckhout said that there were NO NEW THINGS TO BE SAID regarding the great project, but he was sure that there would be something new next week, The contract for the work had not been assigned, con- trary to rumor. As to Mr. Vanderbilt's ideas re- garding the future prosecution of the work, he said that he had no authority to speak for him at all; but froma persenal knowledge of tke character ef his chief, he could de- clare that, as every one who knew him was aware, it was something which had never hay pened yet ior him to make a promise and evade fulfilling it. When he asked for the charter for the underground road he beund himself, if it was granted him, to carry out its provisions, andit was very far from being his habit to put his‘ hand tothe plough and look back while turning the furrow, as says the old proverb. There might Ree be some measures pressed at Albany this Winter which could explain all this delay. hen Buckhout could give no information regard- THE COMMENCEMENT OF WORK below Forty-second street—the subject which ex- cites the most attention among business men and owners of real estate. The plans and specifica- tions for the work, however, were allin readiness for the assignments to be made. Some beautiful drawings of the proposed tunnels irom the Cit; Hall to the Grand Central depot were shown, whic! certainly on paper looked feusible enough. The first excavation will probably take piace in iront of the new Post Office, where the fine underground depot is to be built. How soon it is to be commenced can not yet be learned. THE GILBERT ELEVATED ROAD. In reference to the other projects of rapid transit it may be said that there 1s nothing new under the sun. The Gilbert Elevated Railway, according to Mr. Gilbert, the projector, is in a fair way to be rapidly constructed. The contracts have been as- signed to manuiacturers out of town, and when the work is completed {it will be brought here in pects Ig and can be put together in a shert space of time. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. The Mayor’s Office. Yesterday the Mayor’s new Chief Clerk entered upon his duties, occupying a desk in the same locality as the eiice of Colonel Joline, During the day Mr, Edward Fitzpatrick was sworn in as Deputy Commissioner of Taxes, on the nomina- tion of Messrs. Sands, Cameron and Andrews. Mr. Henry R. Cenkiin and Colonel Robert Prati were appomted, yesterday, general clerks in the Mayor's oilice, the latter to act as — interpreter. This will diminish somewhat the throng of office-seckers and profes- sional politicians who have crowded upon the Mayor ever since his accession to office, Mayor Havemeyer has had about twenty appointments to make, and has had verbal or written applications nuinbering abont a thousand. Many of these are sup- plemented by the “iobbying’’ 01 politicians or very ardent reformers, Mayor Havemeyer commenced yesterday the practice he has becn anxious to commence since he sat on the civic chair, of at tending in the outer office to receive all callers. Nearly two hours were devoted yesterday to this wholesale disposal of visitors, City Finances.

Plea of Illegality of His Marriage—Another Marriage Contracted—Justice to the Deserted Mother. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1, 1873. In the Court of Common Pleas to-day Judge Lud- low rendered the following importaut decision in the case of The City vs. Willlamson, for desertion. ‘This case presents @ number of questions, all of them interesting, and in view of the facts proved some- what povel, The real plaintiff here is a woman who alleges. thay she married defendaat, lived with him &s her husband for sixteen years and was mother by him of sevem children, all of whom are now dead except two, and one of the survivors appears with his mother in court. The defendant does not deny that he went through the ceremony of marriave with this woman, and that the ceremony was performed by a Catholic priest in a private room at Antrim, in Ireland, at or near the piace of the then residence of the parties, The cohabitation and birth of childen during the period o: sixteen years is ad- mitted; but the aeiendant declares he is and al- Ways has been @ Protestant, and mterposes as a flat bar to this motion an English statute, passed in the nineteenth year of the reign of George IL, which declares (chapter 13, section 1), “That every marriage that shall be ceiebrated after the Ist day of May, 1746, between a Papist and any person who hath been, or hath protessed him or herself to be a Protestant at any time within twelve months belore such celebration of marriage, or between two Protesianis, if celebrated by a Popish priest, shall be and is hereby declared ab- solutely null and void to all intents and purposes, without any process, judgment or sentence of law whatsoever.” AS a consequence it has been ar- gued that the children of these parties are bas- ae and their mother nothing more than a con- cubine, Story, in hig Conflict of Laws (p. 85, 87, 91 and 92), in substance maintained that whenever the laws of a foreign country are in violation of the laws of God, sound principles of morals or settled Principles of public policy, they will not be recog- nized. We shall not be told that a husband and father may come into this jurisdiction, make it his domicile, and then, when jollowed by his wife and children, shall deliberately turn them all out upon the cold charity of the world, proclaiming ‘hat every right uas been destroyed by virtue of an antiquated statute. ‘The evidence here seems to be, at best, in doubt- fal condition Upon one point, but the weight of it seems to establish the fact that this defendant con- sidered himself a good enough Gatholic to contract this marriage; to live unmolested by legal authority; to become the father of seven children by this wile; nor did the defendant discover how thorough a Protestant he was until it became con- venient to abandon his wife, establish a denial here and contract another marriage with another woman in this country. It + hha me great judicial satisfaction to be en- abled, upon the facts before me, (o render a deci- sion in favor of this wife, to make this faithless husband and father, who did not hesitate to brand his own offspring in an open court of justice as a bastard, to understand tiat justice is administered here and that his conduct does not fail, in the most unequivocal manner, to meet with tne sternest and most uncompromising judicial condemnation. The Court orders the defendant to give security for the maintenance of his wile. SHIPPING NEWS. Almanac for New York—This Day. £UN AND MOON, HIGH WATER, 7 09 | Gov.

Good second-hand vessels are held at prices almost equal to,the cost of new vessels; consequently buyers preter butlding. The demand ts very fair, but the offer ngs of cood rateable tonnage are very limited.
