Mobile (Ala.) Register: There are
now eight large vessels in our bay loading
with timber for Europe. Four others have
finished loading and nave cleared for their
destination this season, and several are now
due here to load. This is an encouraging
showing for a business that is now only in
its infancy. Each of these vessels leaves in
our midst large amount of money which
would not come here otherwise say, on an
average for each vessel, of from $1,000 to
$4,000, which is distributed among the tim.
Der men in the country, the timber dealers
in our city, the shipchandlers, shipbrukers,
stevedores, tuGboats, lighters, and laborers.
Should the breakwater be built in our lower
bay, so as to afford a shelter for vessels and
timber while loading, this trade would at
once develop into one Of the most import
ant branches OF the business of our city, and
instead OF loading from twelve to fifteen
vessels each season, there would be more
than one hundred vessels loaded, and the
gross revenue from this industry be aug.
mented from 100000.
