For the corresponding period last year the total was 70,506 tons. INCREASE OF OIL-BURNERS. A great change has taken place in the relative use of coal and oil fuel for boilers. In 1914 the tonnage of the steamers fitted for oil fuel was 1,310,000 tons, whilst the 1926 figures are no fewer than 18,250,000 tons. Six months ago there _ were over six million tons of shipping laid up in the world, including four million tons of United States ships. At the ond of "September—the latest figures available—the British vessels laid up in Great Britain and Ireland amounted to slightly less than 650,000 tons gross. NEW MOTOR SHIPS Captain Christen Smith, of Oslo, has contracted with Sir W. G. Armstrong, Whitworth, and Co., Newcastle, for the construction of two motor vessels of about 7300 tons each, to- be fitted with Sulzer engines of 1350 h.p.

In Great Britain and Ireland motor ships amounted to 31.86 per cent, rf the mechanically propelled tonnage launched in 1926; the corresponding figure for countries other than Great Britain and Ireland was 50.4 per cent.
