T AMERICAN SHIPS. Plans by the shipping board to start at once to dispose of the ships that were seized from Germany and Aus- tria in the ports of this country when the war “broke out, numbering about 30, indicates a move that will help to elimmnate . the competition between grivate capital and the government in the operation of our merchant ma- rine. In disposing of these vessels which have been engaged jn transport seryice it will be stipulated that they must fly the American flag and be owned by Americans, and it will be required in addition that they be used on routes designated by the govern- ment. Whether these requirements will have any influence upon the fig- ures at which they wil be sold may dcpend upon the prospects of busi- ness in the service insisted upon by the government. Naturally private capital is not going to buy ships for government wishes unless there is a probability of a proper return being received, and at the same time it is to De realize that there is likely to be a big demand and good prices paid for s that can be operated on routes about which there is no question. Evidence is furnished to the effect! nevertheless that the shipping board| s alive to the necessity of establish- ing new transportation lines if the country is going to increase its trade and maintain such a merchant marine as it ought to have. From all indica- tions it is intended that our flag, shall be seen in more ports of the world than was the case before the war. These 30 ships including the largest afloat can be made to do much in the development of our foreign trade. These can help in improving the ser- vice between this country and South America for which the South Ameri- cans have been loudly calling and for whose trade we bave been making bids, but apparently it is not h one but in all directions that s intended to increase transporta- n facilities.

Both the dress gcods and the silk mills have aquite decided to stick to staple and semi-staple materials for some months to come. The reisen for this is that conditions are —consid- ered too abnormal {o warrant making goods that might depreciate consid- erably if there was a sudden chanse in the stuation. The manufacturers m both lines seem eontent to let the fancy and novelly business go to Englich and French houses, despite the possible loss in prestige that may result.

The normal rate for 1919 is 4 per cent. on the first $£000 of net income above the exemptions and $ per eent. en -the remaining net income.
