Lloyd's annual review of shipping states jthat at the end of June the largest tonnage was building that has ever been recorded, amounting to 4.766,623 tons, of which 2,033,319 tons were building in the United Kingdom. Lloyd's classifies 1151 vessels, totalling 3,801,221 tons, ocnstnicted during 1918-19, of which the United States constructed 470 veesals, totalling 1,883,759 tons; the United Kingdom 579, totalling 1,285,036 tons;. Japan 70, totalling 355,304 tons; and Canada 70, totalling 199,941 tona. Only 20 ferro-concreto ■yeesals were classified. Lloyd's has appointed a research committee to test the suggestion that a fluid cargo makes a ship sluggish, and also to test a ship in which the plates are electrically welded instead of riveted.

•The extensions of that already huge shipowiling concern with which Lord Inchoape is associated—the P. and 0. Steanx Navigation Company—continue year by year.

Included in the '.assets are numerous graving-docks and repair shops in Egrpt, together with' a fleet of fast cargo and passenger steamers. Last year the P. andl 0. Steam Navigation Company acquired the shares in the MarcSntile Steamship Company, Ltd., owning half a dozen large cargo steamers, and, at earlier dates, took over the Hain Steamship Company, "Messrs Jaraes Nburae, Ltd., and the New Zealand Shipping Company.
