468 the purchasers believe that they will operate successfully under sail. Ferris- type steamers carry from 1,200,000 to 1,400,000 feet of lumber but these hulls, equipped as sailers, are expected to have a lumber capacity of double the steamers or approximately 2,400,000 feet. Since it is intended to use these sailing ships in Pacific trade, where the car- riage of lumber is a matter of im- portance, the increased carrying capacity under sail is an item of great im- portance. : Added capacity will be secured by. the removal of the deck houses and the addition of space originally intended for engines and boilers. It is known that other firms are figuring on making purchases of shipping-board hulls and the experience of the Universal com- pany will be followed with interest.

THE MARINE REVIEW Bunkering Prices The subject of bunkerage, according to the Journal of Commerce, New York, is becoming the most important factor in connection with shipping, England having practically made it known that she can no longer act as seller of coal for the operation of neutral vessels, other supplies must be sought. For- tunately the United States has plenty of both bituminous and anthracite, and may have to take the place of England in supplying the former for ship con- sumption. The situation of the coal market in Europe is bordering on chaos, and this must of necessity be reflected at those depots depending upon British supply, by a sharp increase in price when the present stocks are exhausted. Many of the depots are already short of coal, and having difficulty in re- plenishing. There has been an advance of 2s 6d at the West Indian depots and further increase may follow if the situation does not ease up considerably at the United Neutral steamers are paying more than the allied at the United Kingdom ports, and necessary permits. must be arranged with the British authorities well in advance.
