EFFECT OF SHIPPING LAWS. (By Telegraph-Press Associations Auckland, February 8.

This state of affairs is attributed to the harassing restrictions imposed on shipowners at the present time. Tho stipulation that every vessel over 50 tons burden must ha.ve a night watchman on board when lying at anchor in port is the regulation most objected to, and is considered by many to bo quite unnecessary. There is plenty of work for vessels of the scow typo, but many shipowners consider the present conditions make a profit impossible, and consequently they are selling their vessels.
