AN OLD SHIP SOLD.
The Highlander Disposed Of at Good Prit

New YORK, Sept. 3.-The ship High
lander, that for three years lay in San
Francisco harbor waiting orders, and for
nearly two years has been lying idle near
Wall-street ferry, has been sold. The an
cient ship was owned by the Stone family
of Salem, Mass, great merchants IN their
day. But one by one their ships became
unseaworthy or were lost. While the
HiqhIdnder has been for sale, the old
seaman, who regarded her as an heirloom
of the family, set the price of $4,000 on
her. This figure was laughed at, for,
until two months ago, ships equally good
were going begging at half that price
but the recent furry in oil freights gen.
erally enhanced the value of appropriate
shipping at this port. Many offers were
made for the vessel through the shiI
agents, and to-day news comes OF her sale
at Stones price, $4,000. The High
lander is twenty years old, but well pre-
served and good carrier. Severa
thousand dollars worth of repairs vii
have to be put on her before the lnsur
ance people will take risks, and the wharf
age bill will amount to over $4,000.
The HiqhldRder has been on many
trips for the Stone brothers, carrying
their own cargo. They would send he
apples and clothespins and Yankee no
tions, which were peddled out from por
to port in the Celestial empire. This dis
posed of, the captain would proceed t.
Manila, in the Philippine islands, wher
he would remain a week or SO perhap
awaiting orders from Salem. The new
would finally come, together with all tn
necessary cash, At some favorable stag
of the market the captain would g
ashore and buy cargo of the bes
Manila hemp, about 5000 bales, at bottom
rate for cash, and clap on his sails TO
New York.
As soon as the Highlander would ar
rive the Stones stored the cargo, Sc
their own price and would not sell unit
the market reach that figure, sometime
having to wait as long as four years
These large blocks of hemp were usual
thorn in the sides of the regular hem
men, and matters generally ended b
their combination buying the lots a
Stones price. The last cargo, bought L
1886, remained in store until last june
when the hemp trust was forced to pur
chase it. The result was profit to Ston
of $4,000.
