The Vasco de CANA, of the new
China line, wants her bottom scraped,
and ought to have it scraped now. But
it will cost $4,000 to scrape it here, and
only 81 200 to scrape it in Hongkong,
so she will wait till she gets back to
Hongkong. This is an illustration of
what is occurring here every day. No
sea-going vessel buys any supplies in
San Francisco, or has any work done
here that can possibly be avoided.
Even vessels owned here purchase all
their stores and tackle, and have all
their repairs made in foreign ports
The reason of this is the tariff for the
protection of American industry, which
makes ship stores and repairs of all
sorts cost in American ports from fifty
to one hundred per cent more than
anywhere else. With free trade in
these articles the business of supplying
and repairingsdeep sea vessels would
be one of the largest business in San
Francisco. AS it is, it lam. ounts to al
most nothing. rs. F. Post

wondrous variety and fertility of the soil, tn
almost unlimited range of products while
flourish there without irrigation, will b
