Tho Howard Smith Company (Limited), in conjunction with the Commonwealth coal-distributing business, has contracted with Sir Raylton Dixon and Co. (Limited) to build a' sieel collier of a carrying capacity of 4500 tons. This vessel will have very large hatches, holds entirely free from obstruction, and will be absolutely selftrimming. These features, together with a large number of winches, will enable her to 1» worked at a minimum cost with maximum despatch. This vessel has been named Period, and will probably replace one of the smaller colliers—the Age. Era. or Time—or enable the larger ones—the Boveric. Aeon, and Century—to bo available for over-sen service.
The Briti<h four-masted barque Aneonn, 2570 tons register (Captain bobbins), which recently left Taeoi.ia for the United Kingdom, was one of the fleet of British vessels which remained in the Sound so long disengaged during tho depression in freights. Ifer owners are members of a combination of owners in Kngland who determined lo allow their vessels to remain idle while grain freights "/ere low in preference to utilising their fine craft, in the lumber or other trades. The Ancona has been on the Pound since October 15, 1904. and ber present, freight, favourable though it be. will in no wise pay the bills contracted during her long term of voluntary inactivity. However, this will be overcome by the fact that the combination is said to nool all its earnings, the chartered vessels helping to pay the oxnenscs of those which hold out for high Fiiegbts.
