THE NAVAL AUCTION AT The BROOKLYN NAVY
A, nom toa,v an auetion sale Of thrty.two vessels,
for which the Navy Department bave no further use
will take p4ce. large number OF these vessels were
purchased at the beginning OF the war from te mt
camille marine, and hastily transformed INTO cruisers
and block ,ders many Of them have rendered
uabe services while others have been ire property vi
the Government for ony brief period MANY OF tueli
are valuable and are worth more IMAM they WIN pIoD
by realize at the SALE while some few contain ohy ma
ciinery which is VI any real value From present hdi'
cations the sale will be largely attended ana we near
of much interest which promises for livery time wheh
the vessels ale offered by tie auctioneers 1hus far IN
the Government sale the sailing vessels have com
manded better prices in ratio than TIE steam Vessei
Ii Is said that parties viii be present To-Day no tenu
to invest largely in the hope OF dsposIg VI tner pr
chases 10 of the small south American powers ioi
naval service probably Peru and Chile may lie repre-
.ened this OCCASION and In view OF the present war
ike atltnde of certain other little republics IL is not
unavoidable that some of former naval vessels VIII
ly the remnant Of another naval power.
Another interest will b. represented by parties who
propose buying for the purpose OF opening new steam
commercial or market lines between the metropolis and
the ont lying towns whose avenue Of transportation Is
Long Island Sound and 1t would not be surprising u
learn in few years from hence that Little Neck CLANS
were brought to our markets by steam. 49,
The Navy Department Is DESTROYS OF disposing Oft
vessels but does not intend 10 sacIihce ten 10 ge. io
of them The sales at Washington and iadepbia
were well attended but the results wore lot as stisac
tory as could have been desired.
! Tho local trade Of the Southern ports will soon de
maid an increase OF trnnage and until vessels can be
built suited to the purpose they must look to these cue
ton sales TO supply their demand. The mercantile ma
rne Of the South is utterly destroyed; the Mississippi
River stripped Of her former strength Of gnnage and
the gulf is equally barren Of craft with winch
carry on the simplest requirements OF trade aud com
mcrce Judging from these facts we incline 10 the lie
lief that we have Of means among NJ who will see
in An investment Of this kind an opportunity 70 realize
a nice SUN.
The terms Of the sale % per cent on the day
sale andehe balance in six DAYS thereafter
