C. shipyards for the construction of the first 'demountable ships ever' built. These demountable ships will be built up practically solid of. timber, and sion timbers, as big as can be cut in any mill in British Columbia, would be all the better in the construction of a demountable ship. Another advantage which these demountable ships possess is that they can be partially built, as far as the lower hull portions are concerned, then launched. A don- j key engine is then placed on the temporary "deck" or upper row of tirn- i ber, and used to pull more timber I aboard which in turn, is bolted into equipped with schooner rig for sailing when wind is available, and also with motive .power, either steam or inter- ■ place and the ship gradually built up 'until a freeboard of about ten feet is assured. Building the ship this way j nal combustion engines of the Diesel !can be done Justfas cheaply as putting j type.

Straus & Co., says: '■ "' . "New construction work throughout; the country is still below normal anjl { housing conditions are daily becoming more acute. While doubt still is expressed with regard to the ultimate solution of price problems, belief is becoming more general in building circles that costs will remain at present levels with a tendency to go higher. This is unmistakably the situation with regard to- labor which is by far the most important element. "From the standpoint of sound business it is more prudent to build -new than to await the uncertainties, probably higher costs and more restricted | labor market of the future. It is. ' however, a matter of splendid patriotism and pub'ic service to lend aM I possible .help in the present crisis. / JV"D. __eDani.l <, "J.'P.

Mineral oilsr—During the war consumption of oils outran production with a drawing upon stocks . already accumulated. The demand for gasoline seems insatiable. Price of oils are at a remunerative figure and the only apparent question is as to whether possible discoveries of new fields will enable the supply to keep pace with the steadily increasing demand. Lead—At the end of 191.S stocks of lead showed an increase of three times over the same per,iod of 1917. Consequently, there was a curtailmnt in output and by .the middle of February, 1919, the effect began to be apparent in advanced prices. It has also resulted in a better demand. Branch St. XV.
