Mr. Larkin, Director of Oommohwealth Shipbuilding, has arranged for the construction of two new steamers for Australia, making flvo how in course of construction In England. It has been tho general opinion in shipping circles that following the closo of the war thero would bo a decided drop in tho valu# of sailing vessels, but such a condition lias not developed as yet. On the contrary, says the New York "Journal of Commerce," sailing vessels are ill good demand, and in spito of the faot that shipyards continue to launch schooners there is still a dearth of that clos# of vos6el. As a Consequence, thero is an upward tendency in the price of hulls, and 'iwnors who three months ago were ■willing to sell are, now refusing anything but a top prico for their craft.
