The market for second-hand ships, both for trading and for breaking up, continues to be fairly active, with prices still ruling high, states the Syren and Shipping. Really up-to-date first-class tonnage commands from £5 to nearly £7 per ton d\v., which is only about £1 per ton less than the cost of a new vessel. Fourteen steamers owned in this country wero sold during October, two going to British buyers for trading, six to foreigners for trading, three to British breakers and three to foreign breakers. In addition, British breakers bought two foreign vessels; a Canadian steamer-went to Japanese buyers for trading and an Australian and a French steamer were bought for trading under the British flag. A very fast passage from Cape More ton to Newcastle was recently made by the Federal Steam Navigation Company’s new motor-ship Durham. She covered the distance between the two places in 22 hours at an average speed of 18.2 knots. It is probably one of the fastest passages made by a cargo vessel in Australia or New Zealand waters. The vessel is on her maiden voyage, and' is loading in Australia for England. The company ordered two new motor-ships, and the Durham’s sister-shin, the Dorset, left England recently ’on her maiden voyage to Australia. She is expected to be as fast a vessel as the Durham.

The- steamer Durham, which has made many voyages to Now Zealand, has been sold by the Federal Steam Navigation Company, to the British India Steam Navigation Company. She is now cn route from England to Australia under her new owners, her hull and funnels having been painted in conformity witlu the other vessels of the British India Company. Under the Federal Line the Durham was a training ship tor cadets, and she is still used as a training ship. She now carries 39 cadets.
