The coffee season in Guatemala and Sal

will begin to come IN on every steamer. IL
remains to be seen whether the extorton-
ale charges, which were In vogue before
the tentative opposition of the Lakme and
Sirius gave place to the regularly organized

The probabilities are believed 10 be all the
other way
Many merchants do not hesitate 10 say
that the rivalry of the North American

Spanish American line will g We a new i'm

and La Union may become really thriving

eies of New York Acapulco was at one
time the seat of trade almost uuriyaled
on the entire Pacific Coast. The general
impression seems to be that the cheap rates

The Bankers, Convention.

The bankers convention was a success
in every particular. The papers that
were read were carefully prepared and
instructive, The bankers return to their
homes and their business feeling that
they have profted by their meeting with
each other.
The bankers of Georgia are conserva-
tive, and have sound views on the money
question. Their banks are solid institu-
tions and are carefully managed. Wild
cat concerns, such as are found in the
western states, have no place in Georgia.
The convention adopted strong resolu-
tons in favor of the repeal of the Sher-
man silver purchase act, and it memorial
lied congress in behalf of a sub-treasury
for the state. The resolutions will not be
without influence on congressman. If the
bankers of other states speak as strongly
the silver purchase act, in all probability,
will be repealed A sub-treasury is
greatly needed in Georgia and it should
be located in Savannah. The reasons
why Savannah should have it are many.
They will be presented when the question
of location arises.
