CLYDE SHIPBUILDING.
With freights at such a low unprofitable state there is naturally a setback to shipbuilding, and the conditions obtaining on the Clyde afford unmistakable evidence of the turn of the tide. At the end of February it was reported that in the Port Glasgow district work was distinctly scarce, and o.io firm had been idle eince November. while at other yards there were vacant berths. The bigger yards on the upper reaches of the river had considerable amount of work in hand, but new contracts were not coming in. The output for the month of February on the Clyde totalled 49,080 tons, spread over 21 vessels. Thi3 compares with 47,050 tons, in the corresponding month of last year, and was above th 9 average of February for a good many years past.
