Owing to tho necessity a t the present time of economising in food supplies (says “ Fairpky"),_ the Ministry of Food ate issuing regulations which will tend to reduce ships’ stores supplied to British, Allied and neutral vessels in this country to an absolute minimum, while British owners are to be requested to take as much on board at foreign ports as possible; any surplus to be handed over to tho authorities at cost price; while’, if such stores arc required for another vessel of the same line at another port, facilities will bo afforded by the Customs authorities to have them sent there, in order to reduce the quantity to Lo purchased in this country.
