'I * J—tfiUl'i'E " ' H "~»»~———t FHAOTB MERCANTILE MABINE. Tho oommitteo formed 1 to outline a pro-, crnmmo for the reconstruction o£ tho French Mercantile Marino recommends tho ' expenditure of annroximatly five millions sterling, to bo divided between French shipbuilding yards, British yards, and a number of yards in the United States. The difficulty of obtainine 1 delivery from . the French, yards will probably lead to tho : modification of the proposal that tho bulk : of tho ordcrß Bhould bo placed in home ' yards, while tho fact that the exchange ; is no Jiea-vily against Franco in tho States . may cnuso a reconsideration of the pro- i posal to build about a Quarter of tho ; total of about one million deadweight ; tons in United States yards. The lower ' costs of construction in British shipyards t will probably brine substantial orders to , that country if reasonable dates of de-: livery can bo assured. s MECHANICAL UNLOADING OF COLLIERS j It has bßon derided by the commission-; erj of tho Molbournc Harbour 'Trust to ] convene a conference for March 23 be- : tweon representatives of tho principal coal i importers of Melbourne, tho Railway Com-! missionerß, tho director of Agriculture, ' and tho Trußt, to discuss the Question of erecting mechanical appliances for dis- j ohargins coal at the wharves. Tho Harbour Trust is in favour of orcctinev tho machinery at the Victoria Dock. ■' In that. caso, however, tho approval of the De-; "irtment of Agriculture would be neces-, fctiy, aa in present circumstances, it is claimed hy that Department that tfie Bite is'too close to tho extensions of its cool ' stores.
