The increase in the number of motor vesoeia and auxiliary craft is 754 per cent., and the increased motor tonnage 1521 per cent. In the same period the steamer tonnage has fallen 1.9 per cent As Mr Dan Brostrom stated a year ago, “No leading Swedish, Danish, or Norwegian shipowner thinks seriously of any other class of vessel than the motor ship.” LOTTIE BENNETT SOLD.
