TOURIST-CABIN SHIP.—The wellknown White Star liner Baltic, which hitherto has carried first, second and third-class passengers in the company’s Liverpool and New York service via Queenstown, is now carrying cabin, tourist, third cabin, and third-class passengers. Towards the end of 1926 the White Star Line inaugurated a new service for these denominations with the Cedric and the Celtic, each of 21,000 tons,; and the support given to it by transatlantic travellers has been so gratifying that the Baltic, 24,000 tons, will henceforth be associated with these steamers, in its maintenance. The Baltic will be the largest cabin ship in the world, and. the largest tourist third cabin ship from Liverpool and Queenstown. JOTHER LARGE LINER.

It is hoped la?e her in commission in 1929, when said to be the intention of the »rs to sell the 27-year-old steamer kholm and plate the Drottingholm, erly the Allan liner Virginian, in rePOWERFUL MEAT CARRIER.
