TRAMP BUILDERS BUBT. WMi respect to roerci-ntile tonnage there is (says the "Shipping Gaiette"), however, a vevy decided slut in Borne of the Clyde districts, especially in tho yards which are devoted almost wholly to tho building of tramp steamers. The Greenock and Port Glasgow firms are eiceptionally busy, perhaps busier all over th«n they have ever been. It is staled in Port Glasgow alone there in about 140.0C0 tons of new shipping, almost wholly of general trnding steamers; and that the majority of-tho yard 6 .have work for two years on th«ir books. So quickly are most of Ifoo contract? placed, and so numerous aro the orders from old customers, with whom very little negotiation is neceseary, that nothing is heard of the hulk o! the new tonnage until it shows on the stocks.
