Tho sailer may again be in demand to supply European countries with lumber for reconstruction work bb a result of tho recent war, states an exchange. Puget Sound mill oporators arc recemnn many orders, but tonnage cannot te secured. Deals are now pending to arrange charters for lumber carriers to Italy. The fact that charter rates from tho Pacific are lower than from tho Gulf States indicates that a large portion of shipments made to Europe will be from Pacific coast points. The demand for lumber carriers of about 1,500,000 feet capacity with the supply depleted indicates that the sailing craft will again be utilised, During tho war the Ellerman Lines lost ninetv vessels. The deferred shareholders of the lines received for 1917 a dividend of 150 per ceht. The appropriation to reserve fund is reduced from £750,0C0 to £500,000. The directors state that the cost of now tonnage is so hi/rh that tho losses the company has sustained cannot be made good with the compensation and insurance moifty received. The abnormal cost of building, they declare, malteo it impossible to cxpect a fair return on the present cost of new ships. In oTder to maintain the company's services, and to assist in the restoration of the British mercantile marine to itß former tiooitioif, contracts havte nevertheless been entered into for the replacement of a large proportion of the steamers lost.
