both proposing to use the water route be-
tween San Francisco and New York. In
the hrst several New \ ork capitalists are
said to be interested 1t is given out that
they propose to run a line of fifteen large
steamers of great carrying capacity regularly
between New York and San Francisco via
Cape Horn. They are reported to be ready
to proceed to put this plan in operation
soon if it is favorably received, chartering
steamers at first and building as nece ssary.
The permanency of the arrangement would
be secured by contract, the term being ar
ranged by agreement. Merchants have
figured on this plan, and say that the trip
can be made by suitable steamers in fifty to
sixty days. and that freights of all kinds
can be carried at less than $40 per ton
The average clipper time between New
York and san Francisco is about one hun
dred days. The second plan refers to the
employment of "whaleback" steamers for
the transportation of freight.
