Yesterdays Meeting of Portland
Business Men.

A meeting of those interested in the COOP
erage business was held yesterday afternoon
in the offices of the firm of J. II. Hamlen &
Son in accordance with the call issued by the
firm a day or two ago. A large number of
gentlemen were in attendance and there was
free interchange of views. Among those
present we noticed the following well known
gentlemen: Mr. Allen of the firm of George
S. Hunt & Co., Mr.. Quintero of Nutter,
Kimball & Co., Isaac Emery, John w. Dyer,
Mr.. Fox, representing NJ. p. Emery, F. w.
Hobson, of Z. S. Hamlen & Co., j. S. Wins
low of j. S. Winslow & Co., Captain Leav-
lit of Chase, Leavitt & Co., Messrs. Ryan &
Kelsey, Mr.. Hall of Hall & Haskell, Mr..
Carter of E. Churchill & Co., Mr.. Joseph E.
Blabon, President of the Board of Trade,
Captain Balm of Perley and RUSSELL E. G.
Hight of Lord and Hight, Baltimore, and
Capt. A. J. Pettengill.
The meeting was called to order by Mr.. j.
II. Hamlen Upon motion, Mr.. J. Ell. Ham
len was chosen chairman and Mr.. F. N. Hob
son, secretary. Mr. Hamlen then said that
conversation among business men had led to
the calling of the meeting. After getting
meeting under the auspices of the Board of
Trade A crisis has come in the cooperage
trade, two-thirds of which is confined to
Portland. About ten years ago the British
and Spanish began to manufacture bags for
the shipment of sugar, and two years ago
the bags began to compete with the shocks.
The Cuban warehouse men have had large
quantities of shocks on hand and have so
Disseminated against sacks that the plant
ers have been obliged to ship their sugar in
hogsheads. But the warehouse men have
now unloaded their shocks and make no
further opposition to the use of sacks. The
planters are now generally using sacks which
are much cheaper than hogsheads.
A million of shocks was shipped annually
to Cuba up to two years ago for the packing
of sugar. with 100000 hoops and 16,OOO, 600
feet of lumber for heads, representing about
$3,000,000, more than half made up of labor
There are many interests involved in the
question, the manufacture of shocks being
among our greatest industries. Two hun
bred and sixty vessels are required to carry
the above amount of cooperage to the West
Indies the freight amounting to 1884, 900, and
the vessels being American ships. There
are fifteen or sixteen States interested in the
manufacture of shocks, extending as far
west as the Mississippi and as far south as
Virginia.
Mr.. Hamlen recommended steps towards
securing Congressional action and said that
he had hoped Hon. I. B. Reed could have
been present at the meeting.
Mr.. Allen of the firm of George S. Hunt &
Co. presented the following tables showing
the gradual decline in the exports of shocks
from this port to Cuba.

The Spanish export duties on sugar in bags and
IN hogsneadS are now the same.
Capt j. S. Winslow said that the carving
trade was worse off here than the shook in
dustry. As Mr. Quintero had said, it was
cheaper to use bags than shocks and the on
ly way out of it as far as Capt. Winslow
could see would be for the government to ad-
init sugar in hogsheads at less rate of duty
than the sugar in bags. In response to a
question as to what the shippers would do
should the carrying of shook bee off, Capt.
Winslow said that the ship owners would of
course have to look elsewhere for their BUSH
ness, although the shipping interest is now
suffering from the widespread business de-
preston.
Capt. Ryan thought that the Board of
Trade should agitate the subject until Spain
shall be stopped from extorting an export
duty from American merchants.
Mr.. John W. Dyer thought that the only
opposition to the movement would come
from certain New York parties, who receive
their sugar in bags.
The chairman suggested the formation of
committee to put the matter in shape and
call meeting under the auspices of the
Board of Trade, confer with Mr.. Reed and
secure action in Congress, as the suggestion
of Capt. Winslow seemed to offer the only
way out of the difficulty.
Mr.. Joseph E. Blabon, the president of the
Board of Trade, thought it feasible to ap-
point committee to bring the matter before
the Board of Trade, and he assured those
present that the Board would stand by them
in anything reasonable. Mr.. Blabon thought
that the only way out of the trouble was in
reduction of the tariff.
1t was moved by Mr.. Fox that committee
of three be appointed by the chair to take
meeting When they are ready to REPORT oa as s
sucn committee, the chairman appointed Jo-
seph E. Thompson, of the firm of Geo. S.
Hunt & Co., Capt. J. S. Winslow, of the
firm of j. S. Winslow & Co., and Mr.. Quin-
tero, of the firm of Nutter, Kimball & Co.
The necessity of securing cooperative ac-
ton elsewhere was urged, and Mr.. Hight as
sured the meeting that he should do all he
could in Baltimore, and thought he could
procure the help of the Maryland congress
sional delegation.
Mr.. Allen thought that instead of decreas-
ing the duty on sugar in hogsheads it would
be better to raise that on sugar in bags.
There was some difference of opinion on
this point and the matter was deferred until
after consultation with Mr.. Reed.
After some further discussion the meeting
adjourned
