MOVING AGAIN.
LONG LAID-UP SHIPS. SIGNS OF BETTER TIMES. Great, Britain’s laid-up merchant ships are on the move again. Like long-hibernating monsters roused by the warm sun, they are bestirring themselves, and, engines throbbing again, they creep out of the rivers and down to the sea once more says the Daily Mail. Tiie returning warm sun >of prosperity is bringing them hack to life from that state of suspended animation into which they sank when, the depression began and the carrying trade declined. Many vessels that have swung at their anchors for years wilL soon be steaming to the ports of the world, their holds once more filled wilh all manner of goods made in this country. Many are leaving their quiet moorings to be broken up, and not a few have been bought by foreign firms, to bo put into service under changed names and strange flags.
