I Harvey said. is spot cotton market, and
this, he thinks, will soon be established.
Manchester now being a port open to the
world, cotton can be delivered there as
easily as at Liverpool, and there being a
saving in delivering the cotton directly
TO the consumer, the bulk Of the business
must necessarily go there in time. This
rivalry between Manchester and Liver
pool need not affect Savannah ship
pers in any way, however,
as the canal company guarantees the de-
livery of all shipments by its route. There
are ship charges at Liverpool, which are
not required at Manchester, which oper-
ates to the benefit Of the latter port Mr..
Harvey furnished a comparative state

pool on the cargo Of the steamship Guido

the cost If shipped by Liverpool. The
rates included delivery to destination.
The table showed the saving to be greatest
on the cotton handled in this cargo.

The Estil was just off the ways and
was secured for the trip by the courtesy
of the pilots association. Although heav-
lily loaded, she made splendid time and be-
haved herself handsomely. The trip was
a very pleasant one throughout, and
when the boat reached the wharf on her
return, Mr.. John R. Young proposed
toast to the pilots for their courtesy and
called on Mr.. duBignon to respond. In re-
spending Mr.. duBignon said that many
good things came over the bar, but it
was well known that all good things that
came to Savannah were brought in by the
pilots. The sentiment was heartily ap-
proved.
It was nearly o'clock when the party
reached the city. The visitors
were given the rest of the afternoon to
themselves. They will remain in Savan-
nah to-day and will leave tonight for
Charleston.
