TURKISff HIPPING

The ai'immnceimMii, that bus been made of the important Turkish shipping concession to British firms :s now Raid only to wait the firman of the Sultan. The fleet of the Mahsusseh Steamship Company (says Lloyd s Weekly) numbers something like 79 vessels of all sizes and ages, and serves, as a monopoly, the coasting ports of tho _ of Marmora, while trading under special privileges to the Black Sea ports, Adriatic, Syrian coast, Greece, the Levant, I® 01 ! S"". anil Persia 11 Gulf. The Fairfield' .'Shipbuilding and Engineering Company and Messrs Weildel, Turner, and Co., who linve jointly secured this concession, will net in the case of the former as the builders of any now tonnage required—and n good many of tho vessels will have to bo replaced,— \vhih> the latter firm will look after the management of the concern in London and (/.Distantinopl". Most of the Conti-';'-"-"'tl firms fondered for fhis impoi'fnnl concession, which, it is satisfactory to note has come to Great Britain. Tlie bulk of llv* shares in the new Ottoman Company will be taken by the Turkish Government although it is pi«iblc a few may be offered to British investors.
