Nothing is more fully discussed on
Change than Mr.. Armington's proposition
TO erect grain elevators and package ware
houses at Fort st. Philip. An examination
of the map will show any one that q neck
of land runs down from New Orleans for
nearly 100 miles directly south. Upon this
neck of land, about sixty miles below New
Orleans, is situated Fort st. Philip, the pro-
posed site for operations. This neck of
land is seven miles wide at this point, hav-
ing the Mississippi river on one border and
Breton sound on the other. The PROPOSE
ton is to erect an elevator and package
warehouse on the Mississippi river front,
Law a track across the seven miles OF land
to Breton sound, and there erect another
elevator and warehouse, and provide this
connecting track with big hopper cars for
grain, and box cars for cotton, tobacco,
flour, etc.
As matters are at present, it costs YES
sci about $4,000 in expense to cross the par
at the mouth of the river, proceed to New
Orleans, take on a cargo, return and cross
the bar again. From the bar to New Or
leans is 10 miles, or Whereabouts, and
sailing vessel must be tOwed all that dis
lance, for which job she pays about $4,000
She paws SIS to get pilOted across the bar
each way, and $1,000 towsge down stream
from New Orleans to the Balize. The port
charges in New Orleans are $500 on such q
vessel, so that a ship big enough to carry
sc. 900 bushels of corn must pay out $343O
expense to get it at New Orleans. She will
charge twenty five cents per bushel for car
rying it to Liverpool, in paper money. This
amounts to $1,000.
In addition to this she will take, say 1000
bales cotton at So 80 per bale. altogether
| 5000. Deduct $3.50, and the vessel has
| $625O to pay profits, wages, maintenance
| interest, wear and tear. and unloading
charges. Rather slim. Now, suppose in
stead of going to New Orleans this vessel
proceeds to Breton sound. She goes round
| the bar and don't want pilot. There are
| no port charges and she need not be tOWed.
] She takes on 10000 bushels of corn, at let
| us saw nineteen cents per bushel freight,
| which is six cents less per bushel. This
| amounts to $500. She takes on l0OO bales
| of cotton at So per bale. This amounts to
S2OOO-altogether $500, instead of 5000,
and the saving of at least one week IN
| time.
| The paw roll of ship of that size would
be about $50 per day, and maintenance so
| per day more, or SO per day saved Tor az
| least seven days, amounting to 800 addl-
| tional. which, added to the $7l00, makes
$S225, or $I975 absolutely saved by taking
| freight at Breton sound instead OF at New
| Orleans. and at less cost to Shippers. IL
| il shown the rate is five cents per bushel
| less on grain, but the company would get
| three cents per bushel for their share; SO
| the saving to the shipper would actually Ge
| two cents per bushel, while the snip wouio
| get considerably more proht tnan ever
! before.-St. Louis Democrat.
