The county commissioners yester day announced that no more new li- censes would be granted after the up. plicaticns now on tile had been dis posed of. There are two applications on file and one more is coming in. Of these three two will be granted and one in all probability refused.

Unless there is a rsmonstrance a ll- cense will be allovvsd on Cannon street In all prObabliity the one on Muiioy's lane will be refused. The up. plicatlon to come in is for Pleasure Beach and this will be allowed. With the addition of the two more licenses mentioned the number for the fiscal year in which report is made to the state, which ends June so, will be raised to 304. which is exactly the some number allowed during the past two year. The commissioners do not intend to cross this figure. Although -the number of licenses issued is 304» it does not mean that there are 304 so. locus in Bridgeport.

Referring to yesterday's statement of the Shipping Gazette the Westmin- ster Gazette voices the public inquiry as to the difference between the sale shares to theshipping combine. In the meanwhile another "authcrb Expresswill serve for the subject of further guessing on the part of both the public and the ministers. “The com- blue," says the Liverpool Express on authority, "will prove much more fav- arable to British interests than up to the present has been suspected. There will be no sale. of British ships to J. Plerpont Morgan. There will be. a com- bination of companies registered in America. on the basis of a nominal capital,- which will be the individual value of each host in the various fleets entering the combination. Each cargo and passenger boat will be valued sep- arately There will be an agreement so far as freight rates are concerned and the companies pooled will declare the gross freigbts carried by each host. These will be pooled and will be divid— ed pro rats with the capital. It will be seen that the separate management of each concern will be continued. and that the company which can manage its fleet most economically will receive the larger portion of the net profits Pro- vision will be made whereby other com- panies can loin the combination at any time on similar terms.
