vessel used in this instance, and which is illustrated above, was

the "Santa Clara," built for the Atlantic & Pacific Steamship Co.

This vessel is 404.6 feet long, 53.9 feet beam, 26.3 feet deep.

In referring to shipping conditions, Mr. Hamburger says

"A drop in the war risk from I2J/2 to 2 per cent will greatly
stimulate trade, especially with the British Isles. Ships may not

come in as regularly as they should, but they will come in, never-

be expected until after the war.

"In spite of the high prices business is very brisk in foreign

goods. It does not matter with some people what the prices of the

liquors are so long as they get their favorite brands. The Julius
Levin Company has sold more Vermouth during the past three

months, the first month of war being included, than during the THE ROSSI
