I t . Tfl , at , American sailing ship owners view ' i tiie future with pessimism can be imagined I Iroih tlio following--The position or the owner of the. sailing ■ vobsol, according' to ■ ins own Btory, is not an enviable one, : says tho Now York "Journal o£ Com. i ffl / roe ;i The man or company who owned •sailers- before the breaking out of the war, and has ep far managed to keep-out oi debt, confidently, expeetn to dlspo3o at bib vessel at as largo a figure on he can get beforo the war closes, and as thig in problematically uncertain, not a few of inom aro dieposing of their tonnage already. Vessels that wcro worth anywhere nround 20 to W dollars 1 .• years ago can be disposed of to-day at double that price, but Mowing a declaration of peace tlio price will bo. depreciate from '50 to ;<s per cent. The causo for all this uuj satisfactory- condition is said by tho owner« to i bo the low rates which tho Govern' ment ib willing to pay for cargo carrying. It la pointed out that the shipping biininoss under tho existing- condition!) Iβ too J speculative to participate in with safety. , unliko tho purchase of cilt-cclged eeciiri. 1 ties, the ownership of a sailing vessel is : extremely precarious, all because of the I complications incident to tho shipping business at tho preaeht time. ■ "Unless freight rates are increased in proportion to tho increase , in operating expenses, includliß war risk insurance, which is abnormally high, there will bo <i great many ! vessel owners getting out of tho bUBIneBB. i Another, thing that ie going to make it' had for the owner Iβ tho immense nailing tonnage that will have to bo turnc<l out by the Government by the time the war coracß to a close. VeEscls'.will be cheap then, and tho man who owns one now will be wise if he disposes- of it brfore that lime arrives. Owners of sailing vessels point to tho increase in- tonnage during tho past half down years, and size up thn situation as one Ihat is eoinp to bo "overdone," ftiul nil poselbllity of making profit, pcrmamnitly prcvclil"d, unions some unfomsren hapoening alters "ii\ situation.
