END|OF THE “MORGAN COMBINE.” We are.at present witnessing the last stages in the break-up of that great American shipping combine which the late Mr J. P. Morgan engineered in the early years of the present century, and which," from his point of view, proved such a : costly failure, remarks the ‘ Syren and Shipping.’ The White Star Lino has reverted to a British ownership and merged with the Cunard Line,. The American Line no . longer runs an express trans-Atlantic service, hut confines its activities .to_ the United States coast-tp-coast trade, its place being taken by .the moiVrecently formed United States Lines. The Leyland Line has practically ceased to exist, nearly all its vessels* having. been sold either to British owners for trading or for breaking .up. Now the Atlantic Transport Line and the Red Star Line are to become but memories. The. Minnewaska and Minnetonka, of the A.T.L., are already in the hands of the breakers, but the fate of all the Red Star ships is not yet quite so certain.
