surprisingly large business. The ship L.
+. Cakes sailed from New Y ork Thursday
with 5000 tons of merchandise for mer-
chants here. The Emily Reed will follow
and already there are more offerings than
she can accept For that reason Grace e.
Co.. who are well satisfied with the support
given them, will put on third ship as soon
as the Emily weighs anchor.
Grace d Co. deny emphatically the report
started for the purpose OF frightening off
the weakened supporters of the clipper
service that 1t will be impossible TO get ships
enough for the trade. There are any num-
Der of ships available for the service, they
say, so many, indeed, that even if the OPP
position wants to tie them up it will be i'm
possible to do so. Such an attempt on their
part would be mere waste OF time and
money.
Mr.. Leeds of the Traffic Association Is
quite pleased with the success Of the clip
Ders thus far. aud is devising plans for the
encouragement OF the sea competition. A
subcommittee is already considering the
advlsability Of giving Balfour, Guthrie Il
20. guarantee similar TO that given to
Grace q Co.. and will report the result of
tnelr dell0eratlons either to-day or Monday.
