Table No. 3 gives the number and capacity of bulk freighters available to Garry this freight. .On" Jan.. 1, 1905, there were 518 bulk freighters of 1,919,- 285 gross tons carrying capacity on the lakes. During 1905, 58,007,070 net tons of freight were moved on the lakes. Thirty cargoes is probably a high average for a season and if offering for that year, but consider what has happened since. The freight movement actually expanded over 17,- 000,000 tons from 1910 to 1913, while the number of bulk freighters de- creased from 589:0n Jan. 2, 1910; to wz. on Jam 1,: 1913) the capacity "per trip, however, having increased by 151,061 tons, owing to the steady increase in the average size of the iieet.. On Jan..-1, 1914) the. situation becomes even more pronounced. Dur- ing 1913 only four bulk freighters were added to the fleet, while 28 were subtracted through losses and_ sales. The carrying capacity of this fleet. is 3,031,589 tons on a single trip, which is only 58,142 tons per trip greater than it was on Jan. 1, 1910, though the movement of freight has, as shown, greatly increased.

The cal- endar also gives a picture of the Clermont, built by Robert Fulton in 1807. The Churchill Line, Savannah, Ga., has put out a very attractive calendar for 1914, illustrated with various types of ships. The frontispiece bears an excellent reproduction of the steam- ship Savannah, which was the first steamer to be built in the United States and the first to cross the At- lantic. The American-Hawaiian Steamship Co., 8 Bridge street, New York, has issued a splendid caléndar for 1914. It contains a fine map of the United States and Central America and shows in lines of red the routes which the ships of this fleet now follow to reach the Hawaiian Islands and the route that they will follow as soon as the Panama canal is opened to navi- gation. One of the most attractive calendars that has reached this office is issued by the Northern Malleable Iron Co., of St. Paul, Minn., the pictorial feature of which is a reproduction of Charles C. Curran's painting entitled "When All the World is Sunshine." The painting represents three girls appar- ently overlooking the sea from a cliff. The picture is full of light and is one of the most attractive things that Cur- ran has ever done. The American-Hawaiian . Steamship Co. is building a pier 900 ft. long and 150 ft. wide with a two-story structure upon it at the foot of Forty-first St., Brooklyn, N. Y., in anticipation of in- creased trade when the Panama ca- nal is opened to navigation.
